I have several, in different color schemes. And if I wear a shirt-and-tie to church, the kids really love Volkswagens. I just noticed there’s a bunch of them up now on German eBay, and the prices aren’t at all bad. Most are 100% silk. The best parts: nearly all of the sellers sell “Weltweit” (worldwide), nearly all accept PayPal (and it’s a really cheap way to pay bills in euros from the USA), and a couple of them I’ve had good results with (one is called “Der Bus Shop” and they have lots of neat stuff – not only Type 2s. I like them, but I’m sure others are fine, too.). Anyhow, to find a beetle necktie, go to www.ebay.de and search on “kaefer krawatte” (that’s “beetle necktie”) and you’ll see lots of options and sellers. Like I said, look for willingness to ship worldwide and accept PayPal. The Euro is running about $1.30 just now, a pretty good rate. My high-school German’s pretty good and I’ll gladly assist if you run into a dispute, but honestly, I’ve only had one unfavorable experience in 11 years. (And even then, the merchandise was fine – but the seller was a jerk.) Lots of German sellers haven’t had experience selling to US or Canadian customers, but once they try it, they find it’s zero hassle. Just another way to broadcast our hobby. Enjoy!
