    Hey, I ain t no hooker but 10 bucks is 10 bucks....
    Personaly, I suspect the discount price has more to do with the turn over ratio of each individual component than its profit margin.
    This after purchasing several closeout and b stock units from Schiit.

    Half the products listed B stock are $10 cheaper than new. Definitely a pricing error.

    On the Schiit website: New Bifrost 2 $699; B-stock Bifrost 2 $689. Email to Schitt and they confirm this is is correct. They also have other B-stock products with prices only slightly lower than the new price.

    I don't understand this pricing. A $10 'discount' for a B-stock with no return privilege? What am I missing here? I have purchased Schiit B-stock in the past and there was about a 10% discount from the new price. That's why I almost always buy B-stock-same warranty but I save some money.

    Ok. I'm done with SBAF. I ask a legitimate question here and I get a dislike. How childish and narrow minded.

    I had the same question when I noticed this yesterday. Maybe @schiit can weigh in. A $10 discount across the board for b-stock seems pretty odd to me too...

    Also don’t take the dislikes seriously man, as Purr1n says, it’s part of the “hazing” some folks like to do. Plus you have barely posted on SBAF in almost 5 years here and this is not exactly a “high value” post, so sometimes folks view this as noise, or just using SBAF without actually providing something back. But I do agree with your curiosity about the latest prices...

    You decide you're done just because you got a dislike. How childish and narrow minded.

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    Thanks for reporting back, but this was (sort of) addressed in the Used Deals Thread. Your post would be ideally placed there rather than creating noise in this thread. However, please don’t take dislikes as a big deal; we all receive them and use them freely.
    As I’m writing this there are more posts about the same topic.

    Manchild?

    If you previously owned the Bifrost and you got it direct from Schiit, you can get the Bifrost 2 for $599 up until end of March.

    So the $10 discount for B-Stock units is correct then? Weird.
