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.
It's not what you play, it's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.
