A Stock and B Stock Grading
Hello,
Is there a good general definition of what A Stock and B Stock grading means. I understand that B Stock may have some physicial blemishes.
But I don't know what the specifics of each.
Thanks!
What are the chances that B stock is passed off as A stock? How can you protect yours

I think that it happens more than any consumer would care to imagine. I think that your chances of getting "B" stock that is being sold as "A" stock occurs more on-line than in a store, although I'm certain that I got ripped off by a local stereo shop. Let the buyer beware! Michael
Factory B stock electronics usually come in a plain brown box
Clearly labeled as such. Products noted as "factory B stock" will be repackaged to keep any "confusion" from happening in the name of profit by dishonesty. Repack from a retail establishment is technically considered "open box", and is not technically B stock.
Anyway, factory B stock will be plainly labeled.
