Gotelieb spirit

[necroscope]

Gotelieb spirit up for auction on ebay,looks in good nic other than minor playfield wear and the sound not working, any idea what it will sell for? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110614433007&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

This is a machine that is entitled to be described as "Rare" and "Collectible".

I'm REALLY glad that the seller is honest and straight forward with his descriptions. This will be a very interesting sale. I'm guessing $3000 - $3500, and thats purely speculative - I've never seen a Spirit for sale.

Yeh... bit hard to price this one. Plenty of rare pinballs get sold, but not many are extremely desirable... this one is, whether due to the backglass only or gameplay... i cant tell as ive never played one.

Im willing to bet my left nut though that one of the bidders has already, or will at the last minute slap a bid of $4500 to ensure they secure this pin.

In all honesty, these come up so rarely that the blue paint over wont matter to the final price.

If anyone here wins it then get in touch with me and ill use this machine to make SPIRIT stencil set... not sure how many ill sell but is a lovely title to add to the inventory

I'm tempted to have a bid, don't see these too often.

My Spirits have excellent cabinets - so I can take the photos required to create the stencil if needed.

Up until I secured mine, I would have paid $3500 - No problems. I know several people who want this title, and yes - it is a "player's" machine - not just a rare machine but a VERY good player designed by John Trudeau. His machines are excellent - Black Rose, Bugs Bunny, Rocky, Flinstones and my other favorite title of his - CFTBL.

Well worth watching this auction.

Does look pretty good; I take it this one has some decent gameplay as well as looking intriguing?

I am fairly sure I have that started already

I think there will be a big last minute rush on this one.

Finishing on a sunday - could be a real bargain, but I agree, should be a mad rush at the last couple of minutes.
