Quoted from Dayhuff:

I do. In fact I was the one that wrote down all the hammer prices and posted them on RGP. I think it took me something like 6-7 days to post everything, a lot of typing. Right off the top of my head I think it was $1300 for the Spirit. I remember it being the first time I saw the the game and I was amazed it went for so much because most games were going for we'll below the $500 mark. The next Spirit I seen was a few years later at the PATZ auction and it only sold for like $4-$500.
John

Found this in the archives from a guy that lost the bidding war -

"I waited for the NEXT TO LAST pinball to go - Spirit. Great cabinet, excellent BG and a very decent PF. No CPU - No problem. It was mine. It started out like many on the last row, $10, $20, $30 .... then up to $200. So finally I'm in and bidding strong - one on one. We blew by $300, then $400, then $500, then $600, now $700 and then I woke up. I wasn't going to get the Spirit. The first I have seen in this condition. Immediately after I had given up and the game was sold."

Just found another piece of interesting information on this machine from the RGP archive -

Funny, mine was in storage for years, and I finally
set it up and put the head on it yesterday. I got it
from the Cunningham auction in 2001. The playfield has
some wear but is mylared and everything else is almost
perfect. The coin door was jammed and the CPU board
was not in the head (knew that when I got is), so was I
happy yesterday when I finally un-jammed the coin door
and in the coin box I find the original CPU with no
corrosion or other damage. Lift the playfield and
I find the original game envelope with the manual, key
fob and all the other goodies, and below that is a
test game folder with all the original test location
documentation and a stack of Gottlieb return envelopes.
Test game? So I check the serial number: 1235-S.
Sample game, yay!
