 *Message was: Dear Afshin,

thank you very much for your prompt response - it has helped a lot! Like you sensed, I am a starter in collecting persian rugs and I am not at that stage of my life where I could afford the high-end ones. A few days ago I went to the local persian rug dealer and saw a 8X10 Tabriz, 1000+ KPSI, pure silk foundation and pile - well, now I know the difference between that and what Rugman offers. But I also think having the low KPSI rugs is a great thing for people with kids, dogs etc. - I would probably never want to step on a masterpiece Tabriz...

One more question: several dealers on Ebay indicate 20-30 or 30-40 years old for age of their rugs. Everything else equal, are these rugs more valuable than the ones that say "new"?

Thanks so much for your help. I will keep your auctions in mind!
