Great news! To help celebrate our 15th year in business, we have reduced our shop set-up fee to $15 for new shop owners wanting to sell on Ruby Lane.

2013 will be full of 15-year anniversary promotions, and we want to continue our celebration beyond our current buyers and sellers, to include new shop owners who join the site.


Downsizing a Collection

When is it time to downsize? I'm often asked ...when it's time... or how to go about doing it! It can be most difficult to "let-go" of some of your first collection acquisitions. Trust me, been there, done that! For most collectors there comes a time when tough decisions need to be made. It may take several years of collecting for this time to come. Others have collected at warp speed and may decide after a year that their collection has become so massive it's not easy to enjoy and appreciate each piece.
