I second the estate sale idea. When my mother passed away she had invested in some seriously nice, expensive rugs. WAY too many of them for my home or my sisters home. I took what would work for me and we had to sell her house fast due to new owners wanting in so we had to let the rugs go way below their actual worth. I've seen some wonderful rugs go at auction around here too. Look around and you can find some very well made items when shopping for rugs at estate sales.
