Ties

I never thought about selling neckties until recently. Obviously, I've never worn a necktie and it never crossed my mind. That has changed! Why? Several reasons: 

1. You can find HIGH END designer brands like Fendi, Givenchy, Lanvin, Armani and others at thrift stores. For some reason, the staff keeps an out for the clothing, purses and shoes made by the top designers; but ignores the ties. 
2. They are usually cheap! 
3. They are cheap and easy to ship. I throw them in a small flat rate box, pay the $5.25 on click n ship and I'm done. 
4. They are generally in excellent to perfect condition; unlike other clothing items. 
5. The profit margins are high! 

I'm trying to put the ties into lots according to brand, unless it's a specialty tie. If you sell ties, do you sell each individually or in lots? I'm new to selling ties, so I'm learning as I go. 

Here are some of the ties I've sold or are selling. Check out the profit margins.
