If you're an end user, you pay $100/yr for _all_ your resources.  If you're 
an LIR, you pay either your v4 or v6 maintenance fees, whichever is greater.

I don't know the status of the v6 initial assignment fee; I think that the 
v6 initial allocation fee was waived at one point.  If they're not waived 
now, that'd be a one-time cost of $1250.

The only $500/yr fee is to be a "General Member", which is how non-LIRs get 
to vote in ARIN elections.  You don't need to be a member to get a v6 
assignment.
