Getting cocky
You know, yes, Rooster ties are old, and they're not always easy to find, but when you get right down to it, they are still basically just skinny strips of fabric, and previously owned skinny strips of fabric, no matter how snazzy, should not cost $150.00.
Also on the Rooster tie forefront, I've noticed the number of hits I've been getting on the phrase "Rooster tie" has been increasing. Today I got three hits in a row (from three different domains, so, not the same person trying different searches) on it. Was there a recent article about them somewhere?
Posted by Francis at 02:02 PMDon't know about a recent article; what I want to know is how this place/person/business entity has 250 of them! "One of the best Rooster ties in this collection of 250 Rooster ties" is what it said in the description.
However, in some of the other descriptions ties were described as "Rooster-style" -- so perhaps not even the real deal.

and yeah - you have to get pretty high-end to find a new tie costing $150.
