Many years ago, I did some research into this area, enough to learn that it is a very complicated field with different types of rugs made of different materials all over Asia. There are antique rugs and new rugs and used rugs. I am no expert, but what I did learn was that the clueless novice can get taken for a very expensive ride. I would recommend doing some serious research before venturing into this market in any big way. People I know have done well by doing their homework and then going to Turkey on holiday (an affordable vacation spot which everyone I know who has been there has enjoyed) and buying rugs at a good price and importing them into the US themselves (the key being doing the homework).
