<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 4551863, member: 9323"]We have sold a few Mahal rugs that brought a couple of thousand dollars but they were Palace size, semi antique and in very good condition. There are many that have been 'passed' this year that showed color loss and pile loss. Starting bids at $250. Let her hang on to it. I have only used 1st dibs for comparables when appraising for high replacement value - not fair market. They charge their sellers up to 40% commission which is why their sellers ask the moon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
