What Are B-Stock (B-Ware) Products?

B-Stock (also known as B-Ware) products are items that have been returned by customers within the Money-Back Guarantee period or replaced under warranty, and therefore can no longer be sold as A-Stock (brand new).

Although these products are no longer classified as new, they are fully functional, professionally inspected, and offered at a reduced price, making them an excellent choice for filmmakers and content creators looking for high-quality equipment at a lower cost.

Why Is a Product Classified as B-Stock?

A product may be labeled as B-Stock / B-Ware for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Returned within the Money-Back Guarantee period
  • Replacement under warranty
  • Opened or damaged original packaging
  • Demo, display, or showroom unit
  • Minor cosmetic signs of use (e.g. light scratches or scuff marks)

👉 These factors do not affect the product’s technical performance or reliability.
