That's a Kilim not a rug or carpet. Yes, it's a decent price for the size and color.

No worries, I lived in Eastern Turkey in Ilic (eel-itch) for awhile. Someone a bit more knowledgeable than myself could probably tell you the region it came from. You can tell a lot from the colors, patterns and designs if you know what you're looking at. It's a very nice piece.
