While I dont have a utility trailer, I would be willing (depending on when) to help you move some in my pick up.

Thanks for the offers for trucks and help guys. I have a truck so that is not the big issue I have yet but I may consider some help when it comes time to move the 100+ games around to organize the storage. I would pay you with a discount on the game you were buying. Maybe an hourly wage towards the game.

Big price difference between the GT 2005 and GT Live 2007; what is the difference, the cabinet?

GT LIVE 2007. Live is the difference. They changed the platform/game engine to allow tournaments and updatable stats through an internet connection after the 2005 base version.

Hessen is basically correct. It changed to a computer based platform with high resolution graphics rather than older arcade EGA graphics. There is a bit more game play where you can customize players etc.

I don't think you can get on the Live network though without a game operators license and account with GT. So you are basically paying for the newer courses and software, 2 LCD monitors etc.

I guess you can still buy upgrades for it aswell although they are pricey and you can't skip years. You have to go to 2008 then 9 then 10 etc.

Ther are no upgrade options through GT for the 2005 game. It is the older platform and the only upgrade to that game is to go to Complete with all 29 of the Fore courses (2002-2005) on one machine. I have one kit left and may have a line to get some more but won't pursue it until I sell this one.

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to throw a plug out for Gobsgraham and the games he's selling. I bought a Golden Tee off of him about a week ago and couldn't be happier with the game itself and the service he's providing - the transaction was effortless and the game is in excellent condition. For anyone who's thinking about buying one of these, I'd highly recommend getting a hold of him because you're not going to find a better deal around.

Thanks again, Gobs!

Thanks for the great review/feedback.

I will be picking up some games tonight to get them ready for sale. If anyone is interested in seeing them. I should have machines in my garage tomorrow night and Thursday. I am camping on the weekend (in the rain) but then back to selling machines the following week.

Bump. Still trying to get at the GT 2005's which seem to be the highest demand. I got a Live home and this thing is pretty awesome. The second LCD has an announcer that comes on and Gary player, Chris dimarco and other golfers come on and give tips and stuff. It is actually pretty cool. There are also atleast 10 courses on it as there is 5 or 6 on the main screen and then a page with "Classic courses" which i am guessing is the 2006 courses. Anyways here is a pick of the Live and the Big Buck Hunter 2.

$1000 each.

Here is a picture of my last 60-1 that I completed. It had a custom control panel and marquee printed. I sell these for under $1000 and will build to order.

I will also trade games for renovation work that I need done and don't have time to do (Baseboards, Subfloor, metal stud framing, painting, deck extension).
