Lou, you're pretty educated already! 

Yep, manufacturers do it all the time (releasing "B" stock to clear the shelves for their new and improved models).
 
Unfortunately, I have no info regarding BX3s.  Good luck!

I'm considering the purchase of a used Korg BX-3 (digital) and want
to understand current U.S. pricing of new organs so I can see if I'm
paying a fair price for a used one.

I saw a reference to a person who purchased an organ as "b stock"
(at a lower price than I'm currently seeing advertised on dealer
websites), and I seem to recall hearing that term years ago but
can't remember exactly what it means.

Is it a universal term for otherwise "new" merchandise such as
returns, open boxes, overstock, etc, that a dealer wants to sell at
a reduced price without lowering the price of their NIB advertised
items?

How prevalent is the selling of "b stock" by dealers? For example,
if a dealer really wants to move an item to make a sale, can/do they
sell a NIB item as "b stock" simply to invoke a discount and make
the sale, again, without changing the published price of that item?

Has anyone here negotiated a purchase of a "b-stock" BX-3?

I'm trying to be an educated consumer here.......thanks for any help
you can provide.

Lou
