Question
I saw a recommendation on the eBay Listing board for a free hourly statistics counter to replace Ruby Lane's called Dave's Bookstore Auction Counters. I don't know anything about this counter other than the person who made the recommendation is a highly regarded poster on the Listing Board. She said the GUI is not as slick as Ruby Lane's but it's free and it works.

Sample display http://davesbookshop.co.uk/counters/...ay_2_large.jpg
Sample graph http://davesbookshop.co.uk/counters/...ph_2_large.jpg
Suggestions which have either been implemented or will be by the end of September:

Thanks, Blanche. Sounds like this may be just what I was looking for to replace RubyLane.
