How about this for a suggestion.

If anyone wishes to purchase a tie, in the pattern of their choice, that goes with other items in their wardrobe, and is in their price range, they do so.

Then they post pics here with the heading - "Here's my X Marks tie. I think it goes well with my X Marks Tartan Kilt."

This way everyone gets the tie they want. No one is obligated to make any sort of vote or wait for a tie to be ordered, and only those who want to do so need to put forth the expense.
