I don't purchase ties often, maybe I'll pick up one or two every five years or so. And when I do buy ties, I only do so with steep discounts. Just a few hours ago, for instance, I picked up two ties at the Neiman Marcus final clearance sale in Copley Plaza, Boston. I paid $70 for a sevenfold wool Isaia, and $110 for a sevenfold Kiton. That's more than I like to spend on ties, but I think these two ties are beautiful and they both fill color and/or texture gaps in my wardrobe. And the Isaia was $190 originally, and the Kiton was $250. I guess some people pay those prices, but that's out of my comfort zone, regardless of quality or aesthetics. My usual tie purchase is $40 at the Christmas sale at Brooks Brothers. I tend not to buy ties secondhand.
