Lowrider is correct.
I was a tad angry when my wife bought a 5k oriental rug from Macys .
Till I heard what it did for my system, best tweak ever.

Schubert; now add that $5k into the cost of your system.

For $5k I can make a trip to one of the so far open countries of Middle East, buy Persian rug $250...500 and return back after spending some time(love to travel there!). You can also get there best quality camelwool blankets and bunch of other precious goods. You can also void Macys' 10...20x markup by visiting persian quilt shops in NYC where you'll only need $1000...1500 for same.

But you often are not getting the real stuff, just some Russian made junk.
