What's a "B" Stock Genos?
-
“B” stock, from Yamaha can mean, the box was opened, the keyboard was played, then re-boxed, or the keyboard was used for a Yamaha training.
All YAMAHA “B” stock carry Yamaha’s full warranty.
Usually carrying a discounted price

I assume returned items from customers is labeled 'B stock' as well?
-
Yamaha does not accept customer returns, those are only through dealers and must be called used
-
So, this statement by Yamaha (under B Stock) is incorrect then?

I'll check on the half warranty part, ( never had an issue with warranty with Yamaha ) but everything else is correct. Not used by a customer, unless the customer received one that had a problem, was sent back fixed and then sent out as a B stock
Used as a customer had it for months and then sent it back? No, it would have to be with in 30 days

I think the laws regarding what you can or cannot call good is different in the EU than it is in the UK.
'Manufacturer refurbished' is a term often used, but in some cases I suspect 'refurbishment' may mean little more than an inspection, clean if required, reset and repackaging. 'B Grade is sometimes used, though I doubt the full legality, as once something has been sold it can never then be described as 'new', regardless of 'stock' or 'grade'.
I've bought a 'manufacturer refurbished' laptop, lawn mower and a pressure washer that way. Apart from one slight scratch on the laptop, all were 'like new', came with original packaging etc. The laptop had a 120 day warranty, the other items 6 months. Never a problem and saved a bundle, especially with the laptop which was less than half the price of a new one.
In the UK, there is no 30 day limit for return of faulty goods, in fact there's no time limit at all, though it's normally taken to be a year. In the first six months any faults are deemed to have been pre-existing when first bought. So these returns will eventually end up back with the manufacturer for refurbishment and eventual reselling.
When resold, I guess you might call them 'B stock' or 'C stock' in the USA.
