Seconds · one-off pieces

One small flaw. One big price advantage.

With seconds, the cover has taken a knock — a misaligned print, a pressure mark on the jacket, a small irregularity in the finishing. Inside, everything is complete: the same paper, the same binding, the same structure as the regular stock. Exactly what each copy is missing is stated on every listing.

Seconds

Perfectly usable — with a small flaw

Seconds have a visible cosmetic blemish. Functionally that changes nothing: every page is there, the paper is the same, the binding lasts just as long. The discount is for the flaw, not for the contents.

A minor cosmetic or finishing flaw
Fully functional, every page complete
The flaw is described on the listing
Usually one-off pieces in just a few colours

Sale

Factory-new — the current year's edition

In the sale the stock is flawless. It is reduced because the calendar year is already under way — first quality, sealed, without a single sign of use. We never offer previous years' editions.

First quality, sealed, no signs of use
Identical equipment to the full-price version
Reduced because the year is already under way
Only while remaining stock lasts

In short: with seconds the flaw sets the price, in the sale the calendar does.

Currently in the box

The box is empty right now.

Seconds are not made to order, they happen along the way — whenever something goes wrong in production. That is why there are only ever a handful, and why there are spells when nothing is available. Right now is one of those spells.

Never miss a drop

As soon as enough one-off pieces with a small flaw come together, they land here. Whoever hears first gets the better pick — there are rarely more than a handful per colour.

Why we do this

Too good to throw away.

Same substance

Paper, binding, page count, index tabs — everything as with the regular stock. The only thing missing is a flawless look.

No surprises

Every listing states exactly what is wrong with the item. You decide with your eyes open — and if it still isn't right for you, the statutory right of withdrawal applies as normal.

Nothing goes in the bin

Pulping a book over one pressure mark would be a waste — of paper, of work and of energy. We would rather pass it on for less.

Frequently asked questions

Answered in brief.

What exactly is a seconds item?

A planner with a small external flaw — a crease, a scratch, a misaligned print or damaged packaging. Fully functional, just not perfect to look at. The contents are exactly the same as the regular stock.

How do seconds differ from the sale?

With seconds, the reason for the price is a flaw on the individual copy. In the Sale the stock is factory-new and flawless — there the reason is the calendar, because the year is already under way.

Will I know in advance what is wrong with the item?

Yes. Every seconds item carries a description of the specific flaw. You know what you are getting before you buy — that matters more to us than a prettier photo.

Can I return a seconds item?

Yes, within the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. The cosmetic flaw described counts as known and accepted; for everything else the statutory warranty applies just as it does to any other item. You will find the details in our cancellation policy.

How often does something new appear?

Irregularly. Seconds come out of production, not out of an order — there are only ever a few pieces, and they are never restocked. If you want to be first to know, sign up for the newsletter.

Do you deliver to Austria and Switzerland too?

Yes, seconds items are shipped in exactly the same way as every other order, including to Austria and Switzerland.
