Can someone tell me why the Parents Pet Hospital is
$35 at kidsurplus.com and $20 at Target ??

Why the big price difference?? Are there different
versions available??

Thanks!

You got me. The one on kidsurplus looks like what we have and ours was purchased at Target.

Good question. I got ours at Target for $20 and it is the same one that I've seen elsewhere for $35. Total ripoff!! There is no difference.

My guess is that they are the same. Kidsurplus does or at one time was selling the Parents' Magazine activity cube thing (bead maze, etc. all attached) for significantly more than Target charged for the same thing. I remember seeing it brought up here before.

Kidsurplus has good prices on many things, but I guess you have to be careful.

Target has the best prices on the Parents magazine toys. When I've compared prices on other Parents toys, the online prices are always significantly more, even at kidsurplus.

We have it and bought it at BJs. Not sure if they have any now, but BJs prices on the Parents brand toys are even better than Target.

I got the Animal Hospital at Target for $15.99 when they were having a sale.

I noticed the same price difference with other items as well such as some of their wooden toys (i.e. Scout Ship) under their own Little Tree label is half the price of the same item sold under the manufacturer's label online (Maxim Scout Ship).

Target must be able to negotiate good deals!
