How do I get rid of these hand made Moroccan rugs?
I inherited two fairly large Moroccan rugs, hand made, that my parents purchased years ago in Marrakesh. What is the best way for me to sell these at a good price? I'm honestly not willing to put in that much time.

- You're not going to get much, considering that eBay is loaded with Persian carpets. I would put them in storage, but first call a rug dealer to see what you must do first, in order to store them. (Probably cleaning and moth-proofing) They may even take them on consignment. If I were you, I would hang on to them. I have purchased a lot of persian wool, handmade rugs, and they are so beautiful, and look so classy.
- Try an auction house like Sothebys or similar. They know their customer base and get good prices for original pieces. You cannot do this on ebay or the internet. Start with Sothebys and check for other similar auction houses online. You couldn't possibly get the best price for originals on line. You need to check into auction houses. I had a friend who bought two tiny rugs from an estate sale for minimal money that he sold at Sothebys for thousands. You cannot do that on the internet.
- EBAY
- craigslist.org Post it and sell it! Faster and far less hassle than Ebay because you don't have to ship! Good luck!
