Re my thread after which my compulsive bidding commenced: "Why I am Now Going to Bid on This", the inferior sibling of that Heriz I wanted will close in around 5 hours. It is already above $300.

I, for one, will be most interested in how this one progresses and ends. I find them, the respective rugs, night and day in appeal, but they were probably made in the same place by the same people. Maybe arrived at this vendor in the same container.

Meaning what will it go for? OK first I am not there, so JUST THAT lowers the mania significantly. lol. For this phoned in, no vitality-personality Heriz, I can't believe it is where it is right now!

My guess is it will go for just over $400. To me, it is pathetic. But anyone who trusts me in anything rug related....can not walk and chew gum a la fois. Plus everyone thinks I have died. Cause nobody sees me anymore. People come in and I am still sitting here scrolling. When not working. Tt is a sickness, plain and simple. Someone put the the word out she is hunting rabidly, do not email her unless it is Rug related, do not call her phones, just chilll. She will eventually emerge, see her shadow, not bite the Mayor of NYC, and say, Spring is now Sprung cause I found My Rug.

Then Beyonce will again sing. "At laaast.....her Rug has come alonnngg." Tho I like Christina's version better.

Unrelatedly, I WISH I could see uploaded images!!!!!!!!! Paul Klee???????? That DEAR guy who don know wu a HUGE CLUB HE HAS JUST JOINED....it takes a real man to be even marginally self effacing!!!!

Update: around 2 hours to go, still at 311....the one I wanted was at 369 at this juncture.....and I see at least two dealers bidding, one who also bid on the one I liked. these two ONLY BUY RUGS. Now....given I see Matt in NC whom I am trusting more, also liking some of his.....offers rugs to dealesr in containers for no money.....why wouldn't some of these dealers go that way??

it's ending late, there are guys that buy these rugs and sell them. a while back there was a guy that showed me mnasir79 (Fine Rugs Trader) used to purchase rugs under a name like "rbuyer79" or something.

He had showed me some of the links of rugs that were in Fine Rugs Trader inventory that could be traced back to feedback left on other big sellers like these VA and Charlotte NC people. It was funny, identical rugs in size, shape and anomolies. He was asking in some cases 10 Fold what he paid, with the chance for BEST OFFER doesn't look like much has changed

Above=INVALUABLE PARADIGM!!!!!!
Snake pit.U are right. I think things have changed, but not for the better. Why should THIS BUSINESS be any different from Wall St? Or Banking-recent incarnations.?

Someone snipped in the last few second and it ended at FIVE HUNDRED, TEN. The far less wonderful than mine (almost mine) heriz. I am tellin ya....as nervous and hysterical as I was at the end, and the sniper, calm and focused.....I was already trying to raise my max bid when it was over. I would have gone to 7.

To me, it was a very special puppy.

Boy I watched just now, I was actually nervous just as I was a the end of the auction I bid in-- this sniper moved as fast as the one who got mine did!!! I guess they enter the higher max bid and wait to hit submit until the very last second. Sneaky piggies. But U gotta admire it.

You are right; same ole same ole. But, again, my take is, things have gotten maybe WORSE. there will always ben an infinite supply of empty barrel with hole in bottom, the end justifies the means opportunists out there. A colossal dearth of self esteem marks each....and so a dearth of empathy. If you identify with The Other, there is no way on God's earth you can take advantage of any fellow being!!! It is NOT AN OPTION. I never have, once in my life so far......& with ongoing opportunities. And I never saw either of my parents capable of that either.
NOT ONCE. and neither was any kinda perfect being. U can not know happy in the moment and be any version of Faust. I observe this, WITHIN....and without. And of this...I am completely sure. And....I could never have the singular joy of liking and caring about another...who could. Not WOULD....could. I speak from experience. I have fired many people form my personal life for whom I came to lose respect.....always with terrible pain aned trying to hold n ot who they once were. It's a journey. there are no guarantees who makes one versus who doesn't.....and in what direction.

You make honest efforts, I will walk thru fire for you. You do Faust....I am history. I do not care what anyone does teccically.....but I care hugely about how they do it. It ani't where U go, it's where you are COMING FROM.

Enuff. Cept it is all important and relevant to THIS SITE given the site's thrust and focus. forget, one of its MANDATES!!!!!!!
I believe we and our ilk are blessed, Pro.

"Tenfold." Where I live we call it Getting Ovah. I would far rather clean streets or wait tables. I mean it.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YR CORE VALUES. And remember, you are blessed.

I was $100 off in my guess. I felt it would go for just over 4.....it went for just over 5. This one....not at all worth it. That is just my opinion.
