A) Depends on the rugs ! Just as a point of info, "rug" in the States used to mean, in the trade, hand-made, generally "oriental" Every thing else was "carpets". The distinctions have become blurred now, but hand-made online presence - particularly for old/collectible - in any large way can only be a reference point, due to the vast variety of type, design, age, condition, etc...
So you're looking at high volume stuff - easier by far to get it from your friendly local dealer.
But.... if they're talking hand-made, send to me, I'll sort 'em out.
And then retire ....
B) The thread title was a good "hook" , but by the looks of it, they're just thinking of trying to be yet another on-line store selling most things to all - and, as already said, there's a lot of big, big players out there already, and small profitable, established ones, that they frankly have no chance of rivaling.
So they're looking at a minor presence at best - does indeed sound like they're desperate......
