For Sale: Complete Dead Solid Golf Simulator For Sale  

You can get a good idea of what it is, albeit with earlier software, here:

http://www.deadsolidgolf.com/

You get swing information *and* ball information, and it will simulate a "real" round of golf, although the putting is obviously not very interesting.

I'm actually pretty sure new DSG simulators and the comparable ones are $50k, but got too lazy to confirm that and I know $40k is a safe number.

Have you got a point to make?  I'm sure the biggest part of the problem is few people have room for something like this.  The other problem is I need a buyer pretty close, most likely, because shipping is such a bear.  When you buy from DSG, part of the hefty price tag is in them driving it to your place and setting it up for you.  When I bought it I got it used and it wasn't set up.  But I figured it out just fine, and now have it marked well for re-assembly and can take good pictures as it comes down, so the next buyer will have it even easier...but I haven't taken it down yet because it works and a local-ish buyer can come try it.

Still available, and it's in Chapel Hill, NC (sorry, not used to forums that don't show your location by default).  I can break it down and do some kind of palleting so it can be shipped, but it'll cost a little extra, and shipping won't be cheap or easy since there are some VERY long poles when you are talking about shipping.  But we can build a wooden crate for it if you're willing to pay for that.

It's still in operation (fully setup), and the link in my first post above has pictures (you can click them for higher res versions).  Note that there's a big sun-spot bleeding through from a window that wasn't fully covered BEHIND the screen.  That's easily avoidable, we just had some cardboard fall that opened up the window.

I'll ship it, you'll just have to pay me something reasonable to build a wooden crate (or a couple) for it so that it makes it safely, since it'll have to go freight.  It'll be a few hundred to crate and a few hundred to ship.  I do have someone else mulling it over right now, too, who would also need it shipped.  I've successfully shipped collectible pinball machines all over the country and internationally, so I know how to do it...

I think it'll be two "normal" pallets that are going to be a taller crate each, and then it'll be at least one and maybe two very long skinny crates for the long poles and the roll of astro-turf.

You could fly in and see it working.  *shrug*

Yes, it's still available.  On the questions:

1. Not completely sure. I bought it used about ten years ago, and I think it was about five years old then.

2. No, it works fine.

3. No, I don't. Since it's not as simple as a software upgrade (you get a new PC, too), I haven't done it.

4. It has optical detectors in the floor.  I have a complete spare set, too.

5. I have no idea, I've never used Foresight.

6. I don't.  A wild guess would be about $1,000 between wood crates and the shipping.  It's really not a terrible drive from Ohio to here, though. Rent a small box truck and come on down.  You'll be much happier if you take it down yourself so you'll have a better idea how it goes together anyway.

Sorry, it's now sold.
