Deal or no?

picked this projector up today off Craigslist for $100. Planning to build my first simulator setup. I've already purchased the optishot. Deal or no? Should work alright right? Thanks guys

It's a bit light on the lumens and won't give you true 1080P but for a hundred bucks I'd give it a shot... Try to get it for 75!

Good deal for $100, though who knows about the lamp life.

Projection distance may be a bit long for use in a golf sim. This is not a short throw projector at least from a quick glance at the specs. And, yes the lumens could be an issue especially as the distance increases.
