LOL because you were asking 20% of what they were worth, maybe less depending on condition.

Drop me a PM with how much you're looking to get for these bad boys. I'd love to rock these things.

Finally back with a worthwhile post; I think I lucked out today. I'm going to withhold what I paid for them for the sake of possible (1) embarrassment if they aren't authentic and (2) resale. I sort of love them all (especially the two on the left) but don't see myself ever wearing any of them except for the YSL. Can anyone give me some info on these? I don't know much about Hermes. Curious what the tags are for; they don't have prices on them. EDIT: Sorry for the poor image quality. More come daylight.

. . . gotta do research, mate. Hermes is one of the most luxurious designers in the world! If those are real, great score. I'm not a big Hermes fan but those will sell! I'd contact Spoo b/c I think he's a Hermes fan

Cheers

If you go back in this thread a couple of weeks I asked the same question and there was a couple of very useful links provided.

Holyfuckingshit. Nice score dude. They are factory fresh Hermes. Like, those tags are on the ties in the store right now. Not Neimans, not anywhere else, like Hermes boutique tags. Thats insane. The sheep jumping fences is a good one, I sold a few of those last year for like $165 each. The other geometrics are nice too, maybe you can get $100-$125 each on ebay on a good day for them. The factory tags will get you like another 20% at LEAST on your sale price, if you are selling. Or you could just give me the one on the right for being a good guy

What passes for a good day thrifting in this overcast sartorial wasteland: BNWT BB repp tie, another recent BB repp tie in excellent condition and an off brand tie whose name I cannot even say aloud on the forum (hint: rhymes with "Oseph Jabboud") but was actually in a pretty sharp pattern.

I think you've got Frenchy beat (at least on the ties)! Congrats! Those will sell like hotcakes.


The sheep was from '09.

He's Spoo!

If Spoo was a woman, we'd all want to get at her. However, he's not. So . . . we all want to be like him.

they say on the hardware, i run into alot of the ones that say made in england on the hardware, i personally like the Dooney and bourke ones, they're really nice. hard to find since dooney and bourke changed their brand over from belts and suspenders to handbags for women ALso: hit 5 stores today Got an UnderArmour Polo For $6.99 Never really find much dressy stuff in thrifts like you guys, but im finding some pretty nice workout fear : )
