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.

Thanks to all of you for your response. Although the question still begs to be answered, should it be disclosed to a buyer that the unit was originally a B stock item? In my case, the original box says "B Stock" on all four sides, but one wouldn't know other than that. And yes, mine did come with a factory warranty for everything except "cosmetic items", although that isn't an issue, as it is flawless.
Thanks again for your info.
