I gave all but one of mine away. Mrs. Coastie says the last one stinks. It does not. But it is rolled up in the downstairs apartment, waiting for someone to want it.
Never argue with wimminz about smells.

I love cleaning all types rugs especially after taking Paul Lucas and Cam Mayville's rug cleaning class in Omaha. Got myself some Chem Max products on hand at the shop for almost all the rugs I clean. Will be making anew wash floor when my company moves to a new shop at the end of January.

I think she meant you, not the rug.

That rug normally wouldn't be worth doing a lot of work on, but it's the kind of unusual color/pattern "ethnic" look that would make it an easy sell today.

I think that rug would look better if you removed the fringe Bob. It's really easy on that type of rug and it would look a whole lot better than that worn fringe.
Removing or turning fringe under has become the most popular end repair for us, as fringe is out of style for most rugs. On the other hand, the "vintage" look is so hot that the second most popular repair is maintaining the exact look of current wear while keeping the rug from getting worse.

The raggedy end look was a tough concept for our repair people to grasp at first.

Tell her that ghost peppers ground up and stuffed in the nostrils will eliminate the sense of smell over a period of time.

We have a division of our company that sells ragged out classic rugs. https://detroitrugrestoration.com/
Here is an examples of a rug they sold:
