Question Title How can an item technically meet site requirements, but not be appropriate to list on Ruby Lane?
Items listed in our shops must generally present images one could see on prime-time network television and be appropriate for minor children to view. Without adult age verification, a shop's inventory is accessible by anyone.  For this reason items like vintage pornography are inappropriate inventory in a Ruby Lane shop, even though the item itself might fully meet specific Lane requirements. 
 
We expect that shop owners will use good common sense and show consideration for all possible visitors when listing items in their shop.
