How much would you pay for a vintage necktie?

[jamespowers]

A good reason for me to start selling neckties in the Classifieds forum...

$1 a tie? Works for me.

Uh, we need to talk...

my vote was "up to $20". It would have to be a jolly fine tie to pay $20 for, though.

I'm relatively new to the Vintage neck-wear scene, but I've not spent more then £10 so far (though, to be fair, I only have a paltry three vintage ties as yet)

I've paid $100 for a rare dali before now..and would again too!

I'm spoiled from the days of finding my Dalis at yard sales for a quarter........

I voted $40 or more if the tie were right. Thinking about it I don't think I've seen a tie I'd pay that much for..
The most I've paid for a tie was 25 but my current purchases average at around $6-13 per tie.

 

[St.Ignatz]

I've not paid it yet but I'm thinking $30.00. Which of course means when presented with a tie I really want I'd go $50.00. When I draw a line I am prepared to cross it!

I have paid much more for ties that Art is so fond of.

Haha! I've seen exactly one example of such a tie for sale, and i did not have sufficient funds available to me at the time. But if I had...

I have a fair collection but I could always add more.

I paid £20 ($30) after negotiating them down for a Palm Beach tie on Friday from London's Portobello Road for my lovely man's birthday. Much more than he or I would normally pay, but it was a doozy - a Palm Beach! - not seen one before, a nice summery colour and pattern and it WAS his birthday, a special number birthday, so hey.

Otherwise £10 - 12 ($15 - 20) is about the max. He has an awful lot of ties.

The highest i've ever paid for my own collection was £8. That was for a 1930s sports-themed (basketball) tie. I convinced benstephens to pay £10 for a tie once … but it was a 1930s tie from Charvet, so probably worth it.

Baron, that is the price he usually pays, so it would have seemed a complete bargain to him! lol.

There is no such thing as an awful lot.

 

[Miss Sis]

It's true, actually, they are a very nice lot! I help him choose alot of them.

Of course. He has the benefit of your good taste.

See, James Powers, I told you!

I look at it this way: New ties of any quality at all are a minimum of $25, and most are much more. I'd rather wear a vintage tie any day than modern ties, so spending $25 or $30 on one in fine condition is still a bargain.

I can see the logic.

Well, prove it. Send me a few Dalis for 25 cents each.

Of course you can. It makes sense.

Reality check...
