Default What's a good price for a used HPT or EFIlive setup

I'm really tired of not having my own tuning software. My current tune is great, but there are always little things I wish I could change myself. I would pretty much leave all the timing and things like that the same, but would love to mess with shift points and little personal touches.

So my question is, what is the cheapest or best price I could find for a used setup of HPTuners, or EFIlive V1. I don't care if the upgrade has been used, as long as it comes with the cable and enough credits for my truck.

I was thinking ~$350, and I'm only asking because I wanna know if it is going to be worth saving up my money for.

I honestly could care less if the price is right. They both do the same thing for my purposes.

I paid 750 for my v2 and got the link cable for wideband black box logging for 20 bucks. Its a good tool to have not only for tuning but i use it alot for code retrieval on GM stuff.

So anything less then new price is worth it IMO.
