In my house I have an assortment of small rugs that I bought before 9/11 happened.
They are all from Persia and the cost was almost nothing as there was no demand for such an item at the time I bought these small rugs (which are beautiful btw ...).
The salesman saw these rugs and wondered where I had gotten them from and I told him they were from Iran and that were not so easy nor cheap to get these days. He wanted one of them badly and was persistent; offered me $$$ for it and still wanted to sell me that damned vacuum/rug shampooer thing for $1,000.00 on top of it. I was getting ready to totally lose it 
... not good at all.
I told him NO and he got angry with me. His cell phone was dead and he tried to use my phone but I have it blocked so no call he was attempting to place was going through.
So, he left alright and was pissed as hell at me and frankly, I was ready to tell him where to go if you know what I mean.
I check into what you suggest -- $1,000.00 for a perhaps huge piece o'shyte ain't worth my time nor my energy and add pain factor to it, I'm DONE really.
*sigh* & pissed too ... 
Shame on me for being such a damned fool. He almost got me but I shredded up the papers he had me fill out in front of him before he left ...
