I've been playing for about a week with a regular Xbox controllers. Marketplace has someone local selling the full Honeycomb set for $450. Looks like it's in good condition. Is that about as good as I can do for under $500?

Side question, I have a Quest 2, but there are Quest 3 available for $200-250 range is that a worthwhile upgrade?

I was offered ~$170 USD to purchase a used but like new Honeycomb Alpha Yoke. I'm just getting into MSFS2024 and using a controller wasn't cutting it. Should I pull the trigger?

I was thinking of getting the whole Alpha, Bravo Charlie set. Looks like I can get a used Bravo for ~$220 and Charlie new for $300 (unless it pops up used in the next few days).

Total for a full kit $690. Can I do better for the price?

My 5 year goal is to get my PPL, but that's not a process I'm ready to start just yet.

My wife and daughter(7) have been reading the Harry Potter books before bed. She got into HP after a themed birthday party, and my wife was a real Potterhead when she was younger so my wife has been itching to read HP to the kids for awhile.My daughter loves it and I think they just started the 3rd book. My son(5) was just not interested which was fine. So I'd read to him younger oriented books that we have been for years.

One day I asked if he'd want to read a longer story about adventures, and trolls and wizards and dragons, and he said yeah and thought that sounded better than Harry Potter. It's all in the sales pitch, because my description almost perfectly described HP as well. lol

So the past few nights we try to make it through a chapter(or a half). I'm doing the voices(poorly) and singing the songs(poorly). It's a blast. One night as I was singing from the deep pit of my stomach a Dwarvish song, he said "they're bad singers". I turned and said "Hey, I'm the one singing!" and he said "No, they're bad singers. You're a good singer."

Tonight we got to Gollum in the cave and I turn to look at him as I was reading and he had covered his face with a pillow. I asked if he was ok and he said "yeah, gollum is scary." I asked if he wanted to stop and he said "No, I want to know if Gollum is going to eat the hobbit."

I don't really know where I'm going with this, I just wanted to share how much I'm enjoying it and how he seems really into it and actually paying attention to what's happening and not zoning out. It's legitimately the best part of my day and I look forward to it every night.
