DISAPPOINTMENT!

I very happily bought--I thought--an antique babydoll from

Kathy Libraty--

2 days later I was informed--sorry--we sold that doll on one of our other sites.

Reading the shop notes @ the bottom of her site I learned she's handled thousands of dolls and is handling
hundreds of lay-a-ways @ any one time--

but doesn't say how many sales she's mis-handling, and how many 83 year old doll collectors she's disappointing @ any one time--

We’re sorry for the disappointment that the doll was no longer available. We understand how frustrating this can be, particularly when you have taken the time to place an order.

We will review this matter further with the shop, which has been selling on Ruby Lane since 2007. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to look into it.

We appreciate your visit to Ruby Lane and hope you will consider visiting us again.

Every single time I try to sign into Ruby Lane it comes up with my email needs to be verified. I cannot get into Ruby Lane. Absolutely the worst website I have ever seen.

I love the selection of vintage jewelry. Haven't received my first order yet so we will see how long the item takes to arrive and the in person quality. I received my order. The ring is beautiful and fits perfectly. Will order more in the future. Thank you.

Eclectic selection of antiques and collectibles

This is one of my go-to's when I need something vintage and very special---doll handbags, doll hats, esoteric dollhouse items. I always find interesting things, and I buy the ones most affordable for me! Great additional source of goodies, distinct from the other major auction and fine craft websites. Have used it at least three times over the years. Recommend!
