I've got the bug to upgrade my tonearm and am wondering what a fair asking price is.  The arm is a full boated Origin Live OL1.  The arm is three months old.  Any thoughts on price?

Cost and options from the Origin Live website (in pounds):
Unmodified OL1 arm - 160
Structural Modification - 69.6
Internal Rewire (litz) - 61.6
External linear flow wire - 310.4
Upgraded Phono Plugs - 16.4
Slotted arm tube - 69.6

Total - 687.60#'s which converts to $1,072.21

Here's a data point - I bought an OL Silver (MK2) for $600 a couple of years ago. The OL1 is several models lower than the Silver, so I would think the asking price should be lower as well. Hope this helps.

I looked at the sliver for one of my options with the upgrade.  Crazy thing is that the OL1 with full mods comes out to be about $20 more expensive than the Silver MK3!
