Not very clear since a pop window appears as soon as the page loads. Now, 
I'm connected tonight at a whopping 26,400, but there are a lot of text 
gifs that took some time to load.

I know the scooters are this year's *thing* but what has that to do with 
teddy bears? Ditto on the Cosmo thing.

Am I at Shop4You or TeddyBears4Ever?

Nancy, I'm really not trying to be cruel -- but the beige pinstripe is a 
nice start -- otherwise, there's not a lot of bears when I first hit the 
page or anything *teddy* about it.

It's cutting the scooter in half and I'm getting three of the Dolls entry 
on the navigation menu.

If it's really about bears, where are the bears? I see one listing for 
mohair bears that's repeated twice.

>4. Would you buy from here? If not why?

No, I'm not a bear or *gifty* kind of person, but if I was looking for 
something for someone who did collect bears, I don't think I'd find it 
here. You asked for my opinion by posting to this list, but I really thing 
a *bears4ever* site should be more about the teddy bears and less about 
scooters.

>5. What would help trigger that purchase mode in folks?

More bears -- softer, cuddly colors -- graphics that would show the fun of 
collecting bears.

FWIW anyway ~
