I would've bought most of those (at least the blue and grays). you will make a modest profit on ebay or in B&S.

Etro Cotton tie. As I said earlier, one of the most understated things I've ever seen from Etro.

Astor and black in no good by SF standards, but there is probably profit to be made on ebay.  I would do a little investigating on ebay beforehand though.

Almost always on scarves.
