I check eBay fairly regularly and I don't see them for the $750 - $950 noted above, but maybe we're looking at different searches. There is a guy in Maryland that regularly lists for $1395 and maybe you can pick it up rather than pay the freight.

I think $1500 is on the high side for something you know you have to repaint (more $$$). If it matched your car already, right in the range I've seen.

Remember also that we are in the rainy season. If you wait until summer, maybe the price range would be a few hundred cheaper, but you'll have to search hard for $1000 or less (IMO).

The spinlocks cost about $70 and you can probably install yourself. A shop might charge you 30 to 60 minutes of labor.
