Found an LT Activity Garden for $40! - Should I buy?

[tny915]

DD is 13 1/2 months old, and we already have the FP Laugh and Learn door toy, which has the doorbell and mailbox, so I'm afraid it's a bit repetitive. But I do like how the Activity Garden is a quieter toy. Does anyone have both and like both?

No answer, but *where* did you find it?! I thought it had been discontinued...

I found a used one on my local Craigslist.

We don't have the Laugh and Learn but I got DD (15 mos) the Activity Garden a few months ago and she uses it everyday. It's very quiet and she loves going in and out the door. The biggest downside is that it takes up a bit of space.

I would get it. You can always resell it and make your money back.

Yes. We got one for $10 off Craigslist and it has been a big hit. I stash it in the closet and bring it out several tiomes a week so he does not get tired of it. When we are done with it, I will surely be able to get my $10 back!

OMG. Where do you live that they only wanted $10? $40 is the going rate around here (boston). And on ebay they go for a lot more.

I paid top $ on ebay and so far, we are getting every dime's worth out of it. It is a quiet toy and it is very entertaining, for both our 11 mo old DD and 3 year old DS. It is definitely big and takes up room, but at $40, I would buy it immediately!

It is used (not "like new") and I don't think she knew what she was selling! I felt a little bad not fessing up but she seemed excited to be getting rid of it. We live in Seattle and I often see them go for $30-60 on Craigslist or at yard sales. I really just got lucky.
