I did it...just got a gc2

[Bigmean]

So I finally got to terms with golfsmith I was ok with.

got unit number 53xx, hit a foam ball, it worked, I was forced to get the computer and TV with it, but I also got an extra flash sorhat was cool. Everything looks good and as much as I was sorta Leary of a Gs machine, they said foresight was awesome to work with and all their units were sent back and refurbed at any sign of issues etc. so inan feeling pretty good and think it was a fair price and I do have a case and range computer and flatscreen to keep on the side, at least it is a Bravia. So I am in business until I move and can make a sim and that had some value.

Only issue isn they didn't have any CDs with the software, but I have the dongle, so eventually when get a new cpu for tgc I will need to see if I can get a copy. I am also not sure about any passwords etc. I may need?

Any advice is welcome please, I am totally green with this. and it was $4k for all since I am sure someone will ask. Maybe not best deal in the world, but I am pretty happy with it and it was enought to justify a sway from me to gc2 from skytrack...

I am not promising on the computer but my tech friend at frys went over the schematic who built my new one and gave me the heads up on the computer, and this would put the graphics and TGC on the sooner then later list if you do not have to start from scratch, on the GC2 that's great just keep on testing it as you use it and if it starts feeling like its not performing to your expectations then maybe it needs a quick tune up as the GC2 is a reliable simulator. I just felt i had to do this to get it out of the way right off the get go as of the source of the sale, but I understand that your like a kid in a candy store and its hard to not play with it, my only excuse is I have a protee as my permanent set up and a skytrak for a back up, so i never am with out a sim so the GC2 missing does not affect me much.

Called Golfsmith got an offer for $5500 for the whole bay. Drove 2hrs to pick it up. The store manager spoke with the liquidation manager and changed the price to 7k. No deal for me. Ended up picking up the whole bay, computer with dongle without the camera for $750. The math doesn't really add up but that's what happened. I'm very jealous of the guys out there who got a good Golfsmith deal. At this point, I'm contemplating buying the camera new from foresight, but I think it's $6300. If you guys know of anything out there, please share. Look forward to join the simulator community!

They do not want to break up the projector bays for less than 7. My negotiations on more broke down there......

that makes no sense Aiming sorry but now unless you buy used on the GC2 with no software you just bought software that you might need to buy again, I would talk with Ryan on this as he might make an exception over the circumstance that you do have the software available, so it might work to your advantage that's a jerk move on the liquidators part though your Golf smith manager did not go to bat for you to close the deal looks like I will talk with Brandon at Golfsmith and find out what liquidator it was that gave me the deal and pass it on that might help on knowing that this was the person who cut the deal for me its worth a shot.

Once again congrats to Bigmean and thank you for hosting this chat.
I will contact Foresight to see what they can do for me. I actually have been emailing Justin Fitzpatrick for a new system prior to the golfsmith deal, and quoted me 8500 with FSX with 5 courses, the camera alone is 6300. Dont know if they can do better than this.
The liquidation manager is Jim Hardwick, he oversees the Texas Oklahoma stores.
Thank you guys, my quest of Foresight continues.
