Hi again.

I just sent this (I am getting fierce now cause I am more emboldened by having learned a little more and also suffering ignobles less well than ever.) I will not paste their responses (assumig they send some) until all the lovely pundits here hazard guesses. Let's have some fun! Gentlemen....start your engines.

I will guess.... around 13K. This is based on 10 days-2 weeks of eviscerating cramming. But I have no false pride, remembah. lol


Might you share specifics about yr Ferehan Sarouk, item # 927?

1) What percentage of the original pile remains?
2) Is the wear even?
3) Any repairs?
3) Any foundation rot or dryness?
4) Can you possibly send a clearer image? (Your detail links do not activate.)
5) May I see a clear image of the underside at a corner?
6) What are the KPSI?
7) Any color bleeding?
8) Was it painted?
9) Are the selveges intact?
10) How was the age of this rug detemined, if I may ask?
10) What is your asking price?

Thanks much,
Jill.

ANOTHER raeason I like you, Pro....is, you and yr EYE ALWAYS CHALLENGE AND GROW ME! Let me go back and see newly thru yr eyes! But it is handsome, U gotta admit.

Sat eve update. Nothing yet from Danbury....I showed my naivete by asking if the rug is painted....nobody painted 19th century (not that it is, I think) Ferahans..... U can't emulate savvy when U don't got much, and you shouldn't try, but I did.

I would now like to raise my guess to 14K. In this business...I now see,.U must expect the U must be kidding.. Even in a plummeting economy, and this is only the beginning. I am intensely curious about what they wan and feel they can gett for this rug. That is how I am learning. One of many ways.
