Which jump pack do you like best?

I have the three main jump packs: The Sega branded one, the Madcatz and the Performance. To me the Madcatz one can be too intense and distracting, but the flashing red light is kind of cool. The Performance is too subtle and sometimes not responsive. I think the Sega model is the Goldilocks "just right," version. I previously only had one of those, but just got two more on eBay. One just showed up in the mail yesterday and the other one is coming from Japan and will arrive next week sometime. It was in perfect condition and looked brand new out of the box with no yellowing. I paid around $20 (including shipping) for each one. I'm excited to play tonight with a new jump pack after I get off from work.

Quest 3 linked phone number

I bought my son a Quest 3 for Christmas; he had a Quest 2 previously, that we still have. Somewhere in the settings, it has my phone number. Recently his friend tries to call my son on the Quest, but it rings my phone over and over and over without stopping for up to 20 minutes. How do I change the phone number or unlink it?

This has been bugging me for a few days. I went to an unnamed retro game shop in Central California on Saturday, not in my town. The shop had a good selection of games and consoles, but everything I looked at seemed a bit high to me. After looking at a few dozen games, I whipped out my phone and looked at pricecharting and gameye, and everything in this guy's shop was a minimum $10 above.

Then I asked about two specific games in his glass case... Skies of Arcadia, and Eternal Darkness, both for Gamecube. He was asking $15 more than value for SoA and $40 more than value on Eternal Darkness. I told him it was too high and thanked him and left the shop.

I guess the owner was there too, and he followed me outside. He asked me why I didn't buy any of the games I asked about, so I told him straight up that his asking prices on everything was at least $10 over value and the going market rate on auction sites. He then proceeded to lecture me about how he has a $3000 rent payment and how he can charge what he wants. I told him I wasn't trying to argue or start a fight, and he asked me what I wanted to pay. I told him on common stuff, I'd pay about value and on rarer stuff I could maybe do $10-$15 over if it was something I really wanted, but $40 was too much, and then he asked me if the window to his shop said "eBay" on it, so I told him I didn't want any trouble and that I was already leaving, but now I'm really going to go.

Later in the day on my way back home, I stopped at another retro game shop and ended up buying a few titles there. One was market price, and the other three were all within $2-3 of market rate (one was below market price).

So I guess here's the question. What pricing do you think is fair? I know what I'm looking for, and I know what I think a fair price is, but am I out of line for not supporting a local shop. The local retro shop in my area has some pristine PS2 stuff, but they're priced $100-200 over value so I don't buy them. Am I the asshole here?

Finally got my shelves cleared off and updated. I had a lot of loose discs laying around. Made some cases and manuals for the loose discs. Can you spot them?

Added some titles that were floating around loose. Finally made some boxes (and manuals) and cleaned up my shelves. All titles CIB but some are reprinted cases and/or manuals. Xbox one call of duty black ops 4 is completely obvious. Can you spot any other reproductions?

Was moving some stuff around on my shelves to make some room for more games and I came across this flat with this arcade disc in it. I don’t remember how I came across this. Maybe it came when I bought my OG Xbox new in 2004, or maybe I got it some other way; I don’t remember. I don’t think this has ever seen the inside of an Xbox. I don’t have the OG Xbox anymore. It red ringed and I stupidly e-wasted it about 15 years ago. Will this work on a 360, one, or series X? What’s on it?

Picked this up on Facebook Marketplace for $30. Can’t believe no one else took the guy up on this offer! Feeling so lucky right now. CIB in excellent condition too! I know it’s PC, but I don’t care.
