It's a new day, baby.

We at The Restless Mouse are very excited about our latest adventure, we have purchased the remaining inventory and website of Lakeside Novelty Co. - I first bought from them when I was like, 12, back when they were running full page magazine ads all over. So naturally when we started this online venture I went back to the well. I still need to get the website transfer and design done, but you can see the kind of products we will be adding HERE - We will be selling items at wholesale there, I know a lot of you buy in quantity for school events, ebay, or what have you- This is a splendid opportunity to get some hot prices on items that we can offer really cheap, this is stuff we will be importing or buying in large quantities (truckloads!) from first-tier US suppliers. The items listed there now - Novelty licenses, funny money, etc. - will be arriving here toward the end of November. Please let us know if you are looking for ANY novelty product, we thought we "knew where the bones...

Phone problems!

I hope whoever is trying to call us the last day or two doesn't hate us forever- It seems that the incoming calls just aren't getting through, I see some calls on the log but the phone number is cut off! And, no name of course. Anyway, whoever you are, if you read this- please LEAVE A MESSAGE or send an email, so I can find out what it is that prompts you to try so hard to reach us. ITS TOO BAD NO MORE TELEGRAMS STOP BUT ANYWAY IT WOULD BE LIKE A NICKEL A WORD STOP I WOULD GO BROKE STOP BECAUSE I NEVER STOP STOP TALKING STOP

It looks different

We just changed the vendor-supplied template on ThatRestlessMouse.com - it solved an issues with search in firefox browsers, and more importantly, made it much easier to change the quantity on items in the cart. Of course, this has no effect on orders or shipping. It just looks different. Many thanks to Foodgirl.com for mentioning our Corndog scented car air fresheners in her newsletter. They must have a large, devoted following; we had a HUGE run on those. In fact we got 72 today but only a few left now! Ordering more.

A new day and a new way (new to us)

We changed to one of our cart vendor's extra-fancy whiz-bang store templates for our main novelty store at ThatRestlessMouse.com - One of my favorite features is that "You May Also Like" suggested other items box. We think you will like it too, at least subconsciously. Grokdotcom.com says; "Early-stage buyers, on the other hand, are still gathering relevant information with the intent of eventually making a decision. They're still task-oriented, but their task is to decide what to buy, or from whom to buy it, instead of actually buying it. What they come for is insight, and the more of that they find on your site, the more time they will spend with you." ... The downside is that we have to go through all of our over 300 items posted there and convert it to "WiKiTeXt" for "forward compatibility". So until we finish that, some items will have bunched-up text and possibly no picture except the thumbnail. We have also noted the problem wher...
