I Need Opinion From You
Alright I am working on a concept of making custom rugs for the cabin and cockpit of boats ,they would be handtuffed so I could do fades and blends to match those $50,000 paint jobs I HAVE BEEN MAKING CARVED RUGS since 1990 like you see in the OLs or mega yachts, jets ,and real big money homes for rockstars, moviestars and so on.but handmade tuffed are the most exquiste rugs made a stair case with #50 steps went for$50,000 not including labor would it be worth say $2,500 to make a 7 by7 cockpit area rug? I am going to working on a2 by2 sample any idears ghost flames or pirate face with finish line flags burning like in the new fountian add in pb feed back please and thank you ART ps the way they are finished theres no binding to fall apart

2500 hun is a lot of jack. the perreli is only around 400.00 i would have used it but it weighs 250 lbs a roll. dont know about spending that much on a carpet one mishap could ruin, but at the same token i dont have a 500k or million dollar rig those guys would probably be down with something really hip like that

Re: I Need Opinion From You
My computer was down the last couple of days, thanks for the two posts, feed back ratman and strip poker 388 yeah its not going to be for everyone just like the carpets, rugs we install in homes. my familys bussiness installs custom rugs sold by companys such as stark carpets and others at the major design centers. I am going out on my own after my next knee operation so I will be running against the big companies. I'LL HAVE better product and pricing wright now a 10x10 area rug hand tuffed they sell for aprox, $8000.00 plus shipping from china $900 ,not as good as mine,then delivery$600. ME one price about $3900. IWILL TAKE SOME PICTURES THE SAMPLE I'm making now I am thinking of making a pirate with finishline flags crossing with flames for my baja that way people will see what I am talking about ,anyones thoughts of a demo rug design come onnnnn

Re: I Need Opinion From You
Art it could definatly work on the high end market. These guys as you know will spend 10K on a small table, 30 grand on a couch and so on. So if marketed properly it may fly. Of course if you can come up with a low cost alternative then..... Now I am not talking about a replacement for the high end, but more of a supliment. So you offer both the expensive stuff to the customer that has the money and a lower cost/quality alternative for us common folk
