if he is offering £500 it may be worth a lot more.

Delay him for a day until you can get the thing valued.

I would tell him that you are not closing the auction early and that he should bid like everyone else.

put it on a 3day auction.

I would let the auction run perhaps, depends on what your reserve price is. No point in refusing £500 and then it only sells for £200.

Leave it running.If it doesn't sell, you know he wanted it for that price so might still want it! Ask for cash on collection or paypal.

Remember with paypal you will pay quite a bit in fees for £500.
