Carpet prices are the question we get most, and the honest answer is "it depends" — on size, knot count, materials, age, where you bought it and how you got there. The best reference is a list of real, recent purchases from people who have been through it.
If you bought a carpet or kilim in Turkey, please reply with:
When (month and year)
Where (city, and bazaar or area — naming the shop is optional)
What: knotted carpet, kilim or other flat weave; wool or silk; size; knot count if you know it
Price paid and the starting price, if you remember it
How you got there: found it yourself, or brought by a guide or tour
Would you buy it again?
Please keep it to your own purchases. Shop owners and employees are welcome to answer questions, but say so in your reply and don't post prices for your own stock.
