B Stock

B Stock
B Stock is a term used by Ukulele, (and other), retailers to describe new items of stock the are being sold at a reduced price.

There are two reasons why retailers will describe something as B Stock.

One is if the new items have arrived from the supplier/factory with some kind of noticeable blemish. Usually the blemish will be something cosmetic like a chip or a scratch, even something that has gone wrong with the finish, but whatever it is it is not something that affects the performance of the item in any way.

The other, and this is especially the case with online retailers, is if an item is purchased but then returned within a very short period because of reasons other than it is not working properly. The item will have been opened, and possibly even used a little, before being returned but will still to all intents and purposes, be new.
