Shop owner claims these are newly hand made in Turkey. Is that possible? I’ve heard rugs are very rarely made in Turkey. He also says both are merino wool and he is asking for thousands of dollars for the two. Any thoughts on the value/fair price for them?

Check back of these rugs, if they have brand or very perfect ties(knots) prob machinery made rug.
these colours are very interesting to be Turkish rugs.
Is he also said something about the child who wove the carpet? Or child’s surgery cost?
Wouldnt say so, colors give it away a bit
Thousands of dollars for the two is crazy. You may flip him off

I wouldnt buy anything from someone whose dressed like a pimp. Btw colours look too bright, i wouldnt buy it either. Actually i never bought a carpet but we got some that was made by my greatgrandma early 1900s still using em lol
