B Stock can be what Jerry says. It can also be much much more.... Usually what Jerry described is sold as "refurbished".
B stock can be brand new gear. They have left over inventory of the old model in the warehouse brand new. They want to clear it out. To help lower the wholesale price they shorten the warranty period. Since they are not selling it with the full new warranty, they slap a B Stock label on it.
B Stock can also be brand new gear that did not pass final inspection because there are slight cosmetic blemishes. Electronically perfect, just might have slight imperfections on the chasis somewhere.
I personally am not afraid to buy B Stock, even refurbushed gear.
