Foresight FSX Software For Sale - includes 6 courses - £1500

[Tommyseb]

I called foresight uk, to upgrade to 2018 you wo would need to transfer the licence across at a cost of £500 plus VAT, so cost to upgrade this to FSX 2018 would be £1200 inc vat

[vrpunk]

They quoted me £1000+vat, weird. (500 transfer, 500 upgrade) +vat

[Tommyseb]

thats correct £1200 inc vat for transfer + upgrade..

Software is on ebay at the minute, got offered £1350 but I want £1500 direct or £1650 through ebay to cover ebay fees, unless you want multi video camera option upgrade is not worth an upgrade.

[p3eps]

eBay was £3 listings all weekend and today - so no need to worry about giving them 10% final value fee if you opted into that offer.
New FSX Mobile app supports GC2 as of today - but you must have FSX 2018 to use it!

[Aohare]

Ebay charge 10% fees when you sell, no way around that. I hope new app has more than a driving range and target zone on it.
I think we will be waiting 1-2 years to see an app as good as Skytraks, possibly FSX 2020, they will probably charge £5k for it however

eBay do special rates every so often, and this weekend was a £3 final value fee. You just needed to activate it. I’ve used it several times over the last few months and saved a fortune.
Sold a golf cart 2 weekends ago for £690 and paid £3. You still have to pay PayPal’s 3.5% unfortunately... but it was still a massive saving as they usually take 10% final value fee which includes 10% of your postage costs too.
I now wait until listing my ‘high value’ items until there’s an offer on - but they’re doing it about every 2 weekends at the moment.

So basically, we need dual camera + dual monitor + FSX Mobile = FSX 2018 which equates to FSX@£1500 + £1200(transfer+upgrade) = £2700

Oh well...back to FR1 then hehe, Juniors still love it (cause they don't know about FSX)....like anything...you give them a gameboy from 1990s and they dont know about PS4, the think its awesome...human nature.

Good luck on ebay.

To be fair VRPUNK, you could then sell your FR1 software, and depending what courses you've got, for anything up to £900.
in addition, I transferred an FSX account just by changing password and email, no need to pay £500 for an official transfer.

[Tommyseb]

did you have a UK FSX or US FSX licence?

[Bloodredshadows]

Think it was originally from the USA but I suspect you could use a UK order too.

[Tommyseb]

ah ok, when i called them i did ask if i'd just be able to upgrade online and they said that was for US versions only, to buy the upgrade in the UK you have to go through Foresight UK.. whether that is true or not i don't know, but its a pricey £600 gamble to find out.

[vrpunk]

So obvious question, is it a UK or US licence?

[Aohare]

It’s a UK license. Why would you pay Foresight to transfer license when login can be changed, courses can be easily deactivated etc. There is £500+vat fee in UK if you want to upgrade to 2018. I would imagine if you buy a few courses from Foresight it would be free.
FSX is worth £3000, it is the best golf software out there, but if you can get it for 50% off it’s a no brainer, FR1 is 10 years out of date.

This has been sold, please close
