Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers


Does the dealer have a responsibility to tell the customers or do we go back to "Caveat emptor" (Let the buyer be ware)

Sudz they threw you off of Audio Asylum and where do you land? Good use of Latin though.
I doubt that it is an industry standard but any "B" stock I have ever seen is marked on the box. And some will have a warranty "B"stock addendum enclosed. To address the posters concern, I would concur that it should be disclosed at time of the transaction regardless of price. Also the manufacturer should confirm with the serial number.
A lot of new units are more or less "B-Stock" from
construction / Brain. Raven turntable Motors, Tonearm Geometry,
AudioDesk vinyl cleaner, ..- to name a few - you find endless
"Banana Products"..... and did tell you the dealer how many
changes were done???
Linn LP12 is B-Stock from Day 1 and none knew it, even today it is
completely ignored. Everyone gets what he wants.
A real B-Stock is top compared to some other hyped Products.
