BlueJays1 connoisseur Registered: 09/19/08 Posts: 4116 Loc: Porch,enjoying Bombay Sapphire	Originally Posted By: wheelz999 Just a thought, but do B-stock items get used as floor models in stores? It most certainly wouldn't surprise me. If you mean floor models being sold as B-Stock, then yes. They are appropriately labeled on sale as "open box" or even stated as a floor model. They usually come at significantly discounted pricing. _________________________ I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo. -Max Payne

Ya_basta connoisseur Registered: 06/23/07 Posts: 4299 Loc: Sitting down somewhere	I am aware of floor models being sold as you state, Dr. But I actually meant stores using B-stock speakers (instead of unblemished ones) as floor models rather than manufacturers just throwing them out. Then they sell the floor models as B-stock, and blemishes are accounted for in the discounted price. It wouldn't be common knowledge, but it makes sense. _________________________ The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Sure, that's possible but not wise for the seller. That inventory can be moved much faster if it is sold as b-stock/open box right away. Cosmetic blemishes which are noticeable on the floor models can be a possible turn off to the buyer and it also looks bad on the store and its workers in general. Ideally you want everything to be pristine. _________________________ I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo. -Max Payne
