Thank you everyone for your continued support and for watching!!
I think I’ve commented before but I love selling ties as well. My top selling brand is Ferragamo which combines multiple factors - designer, vintage most of them I sell are from the 90s and then the novelty theme. I sold one yesterday on Facebook for $60 that had apples on it. Their bow ties do even better. I’ve done pretty well with other 90s novelty ties too but I tend to look for ones with less availability than the looney tunes ones. I sold a whole bunch of simpsons ones this year, pinky & the brain and even a couple of Wallace & Grommit ties which sold very very quickly. I have been selling a ton of ties this holiday season in general which was unexpected. My favorite finds this past year were several Filmore Poster ties. They took a bit to sell but fetched a good price and were just super cool. Love the video & the education! Thank you again
Nice sales! I would love to find a Wallace and Gromit one!
This was SO helpful!! You are so knowledgeable about this and seem like such a sweetie. THANK YOU!
Awww thanks!!
One of my favorite videos of yours. I've watched it more than twice now! Always appreciate your knowledge
Aww thanks
Just falling in love with tie...incredible art of tie...in my collection now nearly 1000kg vintage tie I have no found the same patern from different brand..
Amazing!,
Nice video! Ive been selling ties for a couple years now. Its absolutely a treasure hunt, and youd be suprised what kind of stuff you can find if you look through them. My highest sell would be a 40's brooks brothers lambswool tartan made in scottland new with tags! I took an offer of 175 or 200 i believe. 2nd up would be stefano ricci luxury collection, charvet basket weaves, RL purple label nwts. I feel like ive found just about everything atleast once....then i keep finding stranger, and stranger stuff lol just found a Polo RL big bear wearing a suit, and hes wearing a tie of this tie! Lol its pretty cool
Those are great finds!! Lots of resellers won’t look through them so that’s a win for us!
I was just completely unaware of the potential with ties til this video. So excited to start looking!
Let us know what you find!!
Damaged ties-list in bundles for crafting/sewing projects :) I’ve seen some amazing quilt tops and skirts made from opened ties :)
Thank you for these great informational videos!
Definitely have seen those upcycled pieces!
Lanvin, the company started by Jeanne Lanvin is pronounced lun-vaun. French names can be tricky for most Anglophones (English speakers) and vice-versa.
I can remember in the '50s to '70s ties being made into clothing. Like skirts,vests and jackets.
I think people still do!
Thanks for a great video, very informative
You’re welcome!
My best selling ties have been the square tip knit ties made from alpaca wool or Cashmere.
Yes! Love finding those!
I have not sold any neck ties or even looked at them in thrift stores, but I will now!
Let us know how you do!
Had a great day today, Charvet, Brioni, Ricci, Brooks Bros :)
Whoa….thats great!
I haven't done great with ties, so I usually pass them by. Now, thanks to this show, I'll look for those vintage ties.
The vintage ones are so fun!
@@pishposhreselling You nailed it. Resellers just want to have fun
I had a great source for vintage ties about 5 years ago. I bought a bunch of them, cleaned them, listed them, and then nothing. I may have sold one or two and that was it. I ended up donating them for a loss. I've just started reselling again after not selling since 2015 but I'm sticking with my vintage and antique books.
Oddly, I only have 11 ties listed but bet you I have 100! I LOVE TIES!!! I did sell a mint green square tip cotton lisle knit one a few months ago. I have Trump ties, tons of vintage, but now I’ll better date them as I just know they’re vintage. Always find Wembeley wherever I go and love them, but they don’t seem to comp well. Love big graphics, wool, plaids and florals. I have never see the fringe ones or the peek a boo, OR the mirror ones! Love that! I was researching Repp ties a few months ago. Sales dropped suddenly the past couple of days and I went into “ vacation” mode in my head. I better list those ties!
It’s made me list a few today too and already have some watchers!
Thanks for the important content. I just sold a lot of 9 Vintage bow ties for $50.
Nice work!
The content in this video was extremely helpful. I have been considering switching my reselling inventory to “low space” items.
Thank you!
So cool!!! Thank you so much for all information.
You’re welcome!
I would’ve still used the sharpie on the gray insert. I believe it would’ve worked for effect
Great info thank you so much!!!❤
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for this video and sharing the facebook group. I have a couple of bins of ties in my death pile that I need to list and this really helps me.
Great! Hope you find some awesome ones!
I picked up a few interesting ties today, so I'm happy to have seen this. No high dollar ones, but will do well for what I paid for them. thanks!
Awesome!
Nothing wrong with "bread and butter"! Slow and steady wins the race!
This is a great video! I have so many ties from a Thrift Store that I used to shop at that just bagged them all up and sold whole bags of them. Time for me to take another look at them. They've been sitting in my profit pile, but I have sold a whole bunch of them. Happy Holidays!
Oh great! Hope you find a bunch of good ones!
Rolling the tie allows less creasing
Enjoyed this video a lot great info I have a box that I have to go through but think it’s mostly 90s
Great! Hope you find something good in there!
Thanks! Very helpful information.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for making this follow up video. It was very helpful in helping me understand more about dating ties. Question: When you ship a tie, do you neatly fold it, bag it and send it in a padded envelope? Or do you roll and box it or something else? I wouldn't want to upset a buyer!
Check out 50:36 of the first video...Mr Pish Posh shows our method. And it will depend a bit on how much the tie sold for. And honestly, no matter how you package it (neatly) someone will be unhappy. lol.
Thank you very much much for this informative video. I learned a lot about dating ties and which vintage ties to buy. I sell a lot of ties, Mostly designer.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
That's what I stuck to back in the day. Designer. I even found some vintage Pierre Cardin at one point.
People use ties in crafting like I have seen quilts and I have seen Christmas tree skirts made from ties so listing a tie that has a hole in it is not a bad thing. Somebody may want it for a crafting item.
Or at least maybe group some up that have damage for crafting! Good idea!
Thanks for the video
No problem!
Our second hand shop sells ties 15 for 99 cents, just discovered today. However, I have some also, old ones, Oleg Cassini, Armani, from our late Uncle, and when I searched sale thru rate, it is super super low. Go figure,
Yeah some of the older designer ones aren’t as sought after as we’d like
@@pishposhreselling vintage ties are all from older designers )))) I don't get the hype around selling ties, they are not hot items to sell, very low sale thru rate, around 2-3% in general w/out key words, and very low selling price. Maybe someone would come across a gem who would have a long bidding history and sold for good money. But hey if this works for you, great.
@@togetherrrryup it works for me 😊 No hype from me over ties but I’ve educated myself (mostly) on which ones sell. So if I’m at a thrift store already- I’m gonna take a couple minutes and run through them. Not gonna build a reselling business on it tho.
Great video 🎉
Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for all the great information. I'm thinking of using Etsy as a site to sell ties my collection of vintage ties on, they seem strict about proving that they are vintage "over 20 years old." Have you had any issues with that? Also, how do you prove they're vintage, by the length and width, or by the label? Thank you for your help!
No I haven’t found them to be strict about proving it. One of my complaints about them lately is that they allow a TON of fake vintage from China.
Length and width and location of the label definitely helps dating them
Hi, wondering if you could do a video or mention how you ship your ties. If you put them in a box if you just put them in a pad it envelope to wrap them a tissue just gentle information would love to know just starting to get interested and loving the ties that you have shown to us. Thanks for all this wonderful information, Linda
Sure! I checked not long ago with Mr Pish Posh and he said with an average tie sale - he folds neatly, puts in a plastic sleeve, and then either a stay flat envelope or regular envelope.
A more expensive tie would get a box. But also protected in plastic.
He’ll record it soon.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR GETTING BACK TO ME; DO NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS A PADDED ENVELOPE? WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE VIDEO. LINDA@@pishposhreselling
@@lindathibedeau9999 does not use a padded but you definitely could
How do you get the thrift smell out of your ties?
fortunately i haven't noticed any kind of thrift store smell in my local stores.
❤❤❤
I have skinny neck ties that I bought 20 yrs ago some have tags and other don’t and they give a mad man vibe. How can I know what it’s worth?
Sometimes you can search the brand on eBay + “skinny” and see the results. Filter to “Solds” and you’ll get an idea
Why wouldn't you want to store in plastic?
I can’t remember the context of what I said, lol- whether it was baggie or bin. Probably thinking more about collectors.
But baggies- I’ve heard of people storing inventory in plastic bags and the clothing developing an odor over time. Just gotta sell stuff quickly!
Stupid question...but, should we iron or dry clean ties? They are going to get folded up in shipping any way.
Depends on how wrinkled. I try to straighten them out for listing and photographing. A steamer could work too.
Rolling tie should keep them in better condition . Even when shipping.
First, ebay's search engine is awful. It used to be excellent but in the past 3-4 years it's getting progressively worse. The odds of anyone finding anything is about 50-50. Doesn't bode well for sellers, does it? I used to sell ties but stopped when prices plummeted years ago. I am predicting that menswear is going to change and the sloppy, sweatpants, band tees, shirt tail out look that so many employees have been ok with is going away. Actual dress shirts will come back strong along with nice suits. This means more accessories too. Dress shoes, ties, pocket squares, handkerchiefs, tie pins/tie tacs and cuff links will start getting more popular. More and more employers are moving back to workers in the office. Take a close look at thrift store men's racks and you'll notice a shift....more tees than usual, more jeans, and lots more woven short sleeve casual shirts. Not as many suits, not as many dress shirts. Could be there aren't as many coming in but I see a lot more nice clothing being sold than I have in years. I just bought a fantastic lot of cuff links at auction and I'm hopeful they will do well. I've always loved cuff links, they can be little works of art! I'm starting to look at ties again but haven't found any worth listing. I did buy a couple dozen silks to include with a book on creating quilts from ties but nothing good on the racks. Many thrifts here sell ties for $1 now so it's worth checking them out. You read that right, $1, here, in the San Francisco area, where pads of note paper are $2.50, lol. I hope menswear does get nicer, I'm so tired of sloppy, disheveled clothing. For that matter, the same goes for women's wear. It would be nice if women wore something other than pajama pants when they leave the house, along with actual slippers. I mean if you are 22 yrs old and can't even be bothered to put on shoes then you might as well just give up. Lol.
Gromit, not Grommet. I guess auto correct did it again.
I think your prediction is accurate. Things always seem to cycle around. Hope so!
