I mean, most weapon enhancements are listed as a +1, +2, etc... cost, worth an enhancement bonus. Others have a flat cost in gp. So I decided the spines are fairest priced as a flat cost (+2000 gp market price in this case, so halved when sold), rather than a +1 enhancement which in turn makes it more expensive to add another property to the shield later.
Well, the DMG has this for the Spined Shield, hence my confusion:
This +1 heavy steel shield is covered in spines. It acts as a normal spiked shield. On command up to three times per day, the shield’s wearer can fire one of the shield’s spines. A fired spine has a +1 enhancement bonus, a range increment of 120 feet, and deals 1d10 points of damage (19-20/×2). Fired spines regenerate each day.
