Braun | Die Letzte Edition (The Last Edition)
A folio including 16 collectors’ prints
and other materials to commemorate Braun’s hi-fi range.
Published in limited numbers to mark the end of hi-fi production at Braun in
1990.
Includes a superb series of 16 six-colour metallic offset lithographic prints
of classic Braun hi-fi products. All but one of these items were either
designed or co-designed by Dieter Rams.
The prints and accompanying materials are housed in a silver and black clam shell box.
Even the box itself and its contents were designed by Rams himself.
The folio consists of:

• 16 metallic six-colour off-set lithographic prints of audio designs for Braun

design sketch for that item, executed in grey ink on tracing paper. These can
be overlaid on the print to create a new image.

Payment and Postage
Paypal is accepted and I do not add a surcharge to cover their fees. UK buyers only may also pay by cheque or postal order. If it's a cheque, please allow 7 to 10 days for it to clear. In exceptional circumstances it may be possible for overseas customers to pay by another means such as bank transfer in GBP£ by prior arrangement.
All buyers please make contact within 3 days of auction. Payment is required within 7 days.
It has become necessary to offer only tracked forms of postage for high value items. This is because of the increasing number of instances of attempted fraud and I'm acting on unequivocal advice that I have received from eBay and Paypal. Please be assured that the postage options shown are calculated at cost, with a minimal handling fee to cover packaging materials for larger items. I always pack to a professional standard; please see my feedback page for customer testimonies. If you have any questions about any of this please contact me.
Non-payment
All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. It's hard enough to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder.
Condition of items
Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique items and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs.
Vintage electrical items
All vintage electrical items are sold as purely decorative items in original 'as found' condition without any electrical guarantee or safety guarantee whatsoever. They must always be safety checked by a qualified electrician (in the country of intended use) before use.
Returns
Returns are possible, if reported within 7 days and by prior arrangement, if a mistake has been made in the listing and the item is not as described, but for no other reason. I'm afraid that straightforward buyer's remorse does not qualify and that all return costs must be borne by the buyer.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this. If there is anything I haven't covered please don't hesitate to contact me.
