While most of the church world has gone casual dressing up in suits and ties is still a big part of old time Pentecost culture so I don't have a problem with this as long as they are not presenting the ties like Ruth Reider Harvey Har Har does uncut hair. Which is as some sort of magical token.
I think for men who dress up a lot it is cool for them to be able to bid on a tie worn buy someone they admire as a way to raise money for a good cause.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
