What is meant by the term "B stock"?


I know this has come up before, but I'll be darned if I can find it. So. exactly what is meant "B stock"? Are these re-furbished units,or re-manufactured units? What would qualify a unit to get this rating?
I purchased a Yamaha DSP-A1 in gold, a "B stock" item at a substantial savings over a year ago, and the thing has run flawlessly and looks the same ever since I bought it. At the time, the dealer told me that these could have cosmetic blems, but neither he, or I could find any. Just curious whether these deals are worth it, and when selling the unit, must this be disclosed?
Thanks for any info.

Yes they can also be refurbished. Refurbished, for what ever reason a new unit is sent back to the factory or a factory authorized service center,not a dealer sevice, to repair or correct a defect.
Ekistler,Would you check the serial number and check if an additional letter was stamped for "B" stock? If it is stamped on the box you would think it would be tagged on the unit. Just curious.

Thanks Jim
