[TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

redsleighdownredsleighdown USAPosts: 450MI6 Agent
Sad news, TF Milan is completely out of raw material on all QoS ties. More news to come soon.

Hey guys, so I have been talking with my contact at Tom Ford and we have discovered that any of the QoS ties can be made again with a minimum order of 4 per tie. If we get that amount, I will order that tie and have it sent out as soon as they are made. It would be $295 per tie plus some possible shipping. Very serious buyers only please, you are committed to a tie if I put you on this list.

    Don't think so, but they are very thick so possibly.

    List is updated. Surprised I haven't heard from Monza yet :007)

    Well I love the ties in Quantum but I'm not paying $300 for one, sorry. If this was Casino Royale ties...maybe. Another thing is I was let go from my job last Monday so I'm gonna have to cut all of my Bond spending immediately.
    Away at Boot Camp, won't be back until April the earliest.

    Keep in mind that you all have to buy a golden gun. 3 ties VS a golden gun.

    EDIT: And don't think of them as an investment piece. Now that we know we can order them, you won't sell them for $800. I mean, chances are I will get in one or two, but if I see one idiot buy these things and NOT post a picture of his SE version of the Golden Gun, I make a citizen arrest.

    I am clear?

  • redsleighdownredsleighdown USAPosts: 450MI6 Agent
    Valid point, kind of. They have checked these patterns and still have some material left, but when its gone, its gone.
  • HoldenHolden UKPosts: 664MI6 Agent
    Well, you only live once, or is it twice?

    Put me down for the:

    PTS tie
    Greene Party tie
    Hotel Grand tie

    Thanks.

    Put me on the London tie list, Reds.

    That'll give me a full house.

    reds, what kind of timeline are you considering? I'm considering going for all 5, but it would depend on equity being needed upfront...

    Plus, I'm also waiting for news on the T&A Hamburg tie from toutbrun...

    Please put me down for (1) Greene Party tie. Thanks for spear-heading these orders, Red!

    Best,

    I am in the same situation as The Stinger. What is the time line for these?

    Well technically all ties but one are at the needed quantity so this should happen pretty soon. I want to give everyone a fair shot at seeing this thread and getting on a list if they want, but I will not be waiting for 50 responses. My contact is on vacation but will be in mid next week. At that point I will tell him the numbers of each tie and confirm that they can be made and what kind of turn around I would expect. Then I will assign a "last chance" date to close down orders. I will make sure the order is ready to go and will not collect payment from anyone until I have to pay myself, minimizing wait time between payment sent and tie at your door.

    I will be willing to have more runs made if someone misses out on this one, but I may wait for a higher number to minimize number of separate orders therefore it will take longer. I suggest if you will want one of these ties, jump on it now. There is also a limited amount of material to be considered.

    "How did he die?"
    "Your contact?" "Not well."
  • geosamgeosam LondonPosts: 66MI6 Agent
    Am I too late to join the list for the Russia tie? Confirmation that I would like one if possible.

    And with that, all orders are at minimum. I will be in contact with TF sometime this week to finalize everything. Lists will be closing soon!

    Redsleighdown,

    I have a question. Private message sent.

  • redsleighdownredsleighdown USAPosts: 450MI6 Agent
    Okay guys, at this point I am going to have to wait for confirmation on how much material is left for each tie. I had no idea there was this much interest! Will hopefully have more definite numbers by the end of the day.
  • redsleighdownredsleighdown USAPosts: 450MI6 Agent
    UPDATE! So I have talked to my contact and he will be checking the amount of each material that is left but there is a good chance that we are under that amount for all ties. The final pricing will be $295 per tie (custom tie pricing, no tax) due before the order is made. It is then a flat fee of $60 per household they are shipped to (from NYC). I am thinking I will have them all shipped to me and then I will ship them out myself to save you all money. It will probably work out to $2 a tie (to cover the $60 shipped to me) plus actual shipping cost to each resident. I will get estimates on shipping costs for each person (US & international) and that small amount will be due before the tie is shipped out to you. Most custom orders take 4-6 weeks to be made. If anyone has the exact style numbers or closeups of each tie please post them.

    RECAP:
    owed soon: $295USD per tie
    owed when ties arrive: $2 + actual shipping to residence

    I will accept checks and paypal (preferred). Buyer is responsible to compensate for any shipping or paypal fees.

    Hi

    Does your contact at Tom Ford know the exact ties that we would like, or are they requesting a photo so they can compare against materials in stock.

    Regards

    Carl
  • redsleighdownredsleighdown USAPosts: 450MI6 Agent
    TF never disclosed the exact style numbers etc to its employees let alone the public. However, I have personally shown him the exact ties we are looking for and have screen caps and style numbers for most. However the more info we give them, the more quickly they can distinguish the right ties from wrong and we won't have to do any returns...
  • asd007asd007 Posts: 220MI6 Agent
    Trying to figure this out myself, I think Paypal fees for each tie itself would be just under $9.00. For those who know, does that seem to be in the ballpark?
