It's an acrylic Persian rug with dimensions of 4'11" X 8'2". I can't really find any other acrylic rugs on Kijiji so it's hard to compare in price. It's in good condition.

Thanks.

I've found that there is a really high mark up on Persian rugs so it's very easy to haggle on a new one, I've also found that if they're not in perfect conditioin that would most likely need a cleaning which is very expensive so used ones don't sell for much. When you said good condition, there there is either something cosmetic wrong with it or it needs a cleaning since you didn't use the term very good or almost new condition which will bring down the value.

I would advertise a price you're comfortable with since design is also going to be a large factor and use the term....."or best offer" and go from there.

I hope this info helps and good luck with the sale.

Unless it is a valuable rug ... I'd doubt anyone would pay more than 10%-25% of retail/sale price. Cleaning the rug is a hassle. (And I would not use a rug unless it was CLEANed or came from a relative whom I knew was VERY clean.)

1) You are steam cleaning the house already so the extra rug is fine.
2) Professional steam cleaning the house rugs ... they charge $15-$25 (?) per area rug.
3) Drop it off at a professional rug cleaning place .. $50?

Personally, I donate things like that to goodwill. (assuming the rug is clean and well taken care off.)

Hey guys, I mentioned good condition since it needs cleaning. I'll try posting it with a best offer tag, if not sold I'll just donate it.

Thanks.
