In addition to the above, I suspect the occasional tout of B stock may reflect a sales person's effort to circumvent a dealer's factory authorized territory, often citing the opened box or slight blemish in consequence, when in fact the goods are as new.
What exactly is "B stock"?
I'm looking at Denon DVD/CD players, and I keep coming across "B stock" merchandise. Would someone who is genuinely knowledgeable about this subject please give a clear, accurate definition of exactly what B stock is, and just how it differs from A stock? (Yes, I have a vague, generalized idea of the difference, but not one I'd want to take to the bank.) Thanks.
