Hi,
I suppose these sentences mean the same. Which of them is more common?
1. I haven’t got a single good tie. Stresses that you have a lot of ties, but no good ones.
2. I have got no good tie. I wouldn't call this wrong, but a native speaker is unlikely to say it.
The commonest thing to say is
'I don't have a good tie'
