The common garden variety 511 "Spanish Brown" sets are worth less than $100. Probably more like less than $50. The 512 "Mandarin Red", 513 "Labrador Grey", and 514 "Nile Green" sets with painted flowers are worth more, maybe $75-150 if in good shape, but $500? No way...

He never sold it.  After several failed listings he reduced it to something like $450.00 and claimed that was a bargain. I was like "not hardly" and paid the listing no mind after that.
