FS: High quality modern knit ties (as lot or singles)

I have for sale a bunch of modern high-end knit ties made by the brands Berg & Berg (Oslo), Drakes (London), Shibumi (Berlin) and a few others. They sell new for north of $100.- each.
These are modern length, about 59". The excess of either blade (usually the narrow blade) can easily be tucked into the waistband.
I'm selling them because I have now switched entirely to vintage ties. This is a rare chance to get high quality knit ties in a selection of classic patterns and textures that I collected over several years. It would be difficult to source a selection like this all at once from these makers as they switch collections each season. The Berg & Berg ties especially (most of these are B&B) are not going to be repeated again.

I'm offering these for:
$10.- each (single ties)
$80 for ten ties ($8.-/tie)
$150 for twenty ties ($7.50/tie)

Worldwide shipping from Germany:
$8 worldwide up to 500g
$11 worldwide up to 1kg
$22 worldwide up to 2kg

Description (sold items will be marked in this description list):

Rabbit: I am interested in 8, 9, 11, 14, 34, 39, 43, 44, and 43.

Thanks for your consideration in advance, Eric -

(If ties have been pre-claimed I will accept your substitutions in a similar color spectrum. Your eye for color/hue is excellent.)

Due to too many members expressing non-committing interest and not getting back to me within 24 hours, I have to change my strategy. Whoever says "I'll take number X, Y etc." gets the ties with these numbers.

I have a few more which I haven't listed here yet. PM me for details and pics. The colorful block stripes in the overview pics are now available, too. Also several of the famous zig zag knits in solids (dark navy, rust, bottle green, burgundy, black) - the only example of the zig zag currently photographed is #18.

Per request, here are some pics of the "zig-zag" solid colored knit ties. I have them in black, navy, dark brown, burgundy, rust, mustard, bottle green.
These tie a smaller knot than most modern ties.
$10 each, like all the other knit ties.
