I stopped by Marshalls tonight due to seeing some other SF members saying they had some nice stuff come in lately.

I had a Canali tie in hand and it was red tagged (on clearance) for $59.

I passed - it was new, but wasn't perfect in the sense it seemed like it was a little creased (would have come out) and they put a security tag on it, through one of the back flaps. Nothing that made it unwearable, but...

I doubt anyone will buy it, considering the city I am in. Should I try to get it tomorrow?

It was a nice pattern, similar to these :

Two trips for a clearance tie...if you lived in LA you'd pay more in gas than the cost of the tie

Buy the tie. I have a similar tie dilema, saw a truly stunning Robert Talbott tie but did not feel like paying $75 for it. Now I want that tie so bad and am angry I did not purchase - I have to drive 200miles to get it. My bad.

Deep down, you did not like the tie, that's why you didn't jump on it. Skip it.

This. If you like it, buy it. Don't get it just because it's a "good deal." That should just be icing on the cake.
