I know that runed items can be upgraded for the difference in cost (going from striking to greater striking)...
Can the same be done with staves or other items that clock in at different levels?
If I have a Lvl 6 Staff of Abjuration and I want a Lvl 10 does it cost the full 900 to build from the ground up or does it cost 900-230=670 gp? Since you start with on partially built already?

Unfortunately no. The runes seem to be the exception to this rule. There does not seem to be any rules to upgrade an item and the formula rules seem to support this, treating items of multiple types as their own separate item.
“Items with Multiple Types
If an item has multiple different levels, each type has its own formula, and you need the formula for the specific type of item you want to craft. For example if you have a formula for a type I Bag of Holding but not a type II Bag of holding you must acquire a separate formula to craft a type II Bag of holding.” —Core Rulebook pg 293
To hedge my bets a bit though, I would still wait for confirmation from someone else, as this seems like a thing that may have a rule still buried in the book that I may have missed.

There is only one answer before mine, and I am agreeing with it.
The original post is a question.
If there had been multiple posts answering the question, and I was replying to one of them, I would quote it.
That was not necessary when I posted the first time.
(and in case there is any question about this post, it is addressed at mrspaghetti specifically - the post immediately prior to this one)

@Nefreet: Actually I found it unclear as well, though I was inclined to think you were referring to Siro's post. Still, given the timing of the posts, I wasn't sure if you were indicating the "upgrading" approach suggested by the original poster was possible.
To the original issue, I *thought* there had been a statement at some point that the reason they did groupings like this was to make upgrading easier. I've been assuming upgrading is possible, though must admit, it hasn't come up in play to this point, so I haven't looked into it in any more depth.
