Persian rug dealer crooks and their GOB scams!

by farrad02 on Wed Mar 04, 2009 01:31 PM PST

To Maziar: Don't get me started with Iranian farsh foroosh crowd! They are mostly a bunch of uneducated crooks with very little integrity and honor! Just go and ask those in the know what the Persian Rug GOB business model is? (Going Out of Business) This gimick is so infamous and done so often that there is an acronym for it! In the big US cities most land lords of the shopping centers and malls know this very well and if an Iranian-looking person tries to get a place leased, one of the things they ask is whether or not you are trying to pull off a GOB scam!

To Ari and Nazy:  As I stated in my original comments, that was years ago. I wish I still had all my khorjeens and tobrehs and I would photograph them for a photo essay here. Unfortunately they were all sold eventually in Canada!

These are wonderful! The original items were constructed by sewing several pieces together. These are de-constructed and displayed separately. I love them. I am the proud owner of a few of these and I can't imagine their utility as "animal wear." Yes, I second Ari, Farrod! Please let us see your collection! How about a photo essay? Come on!

Farrad02, do you have pics of your collection? Grateful if you shared, and more so if you critiqued the above Blumenthal collection. Or at least, which one(s) piqued your interest?

میدونید چند تا از این توبره های الاغ بافت قشقایی بنده داشتم سالها پیش و سعی کردم تو کالیفرنیا بفروشم. هیچ کس بهشون نیم نگاهی هم نکرد. حالا آقای بولومنتال به نام بگز آو ساوت پرشیا میبنده به خیک مردم. حکایت لنگ های آقای نیما بهنود شد!
