If the seller has any reservations about coughing up the $500 I'd remind him that holding you to the deal is considerd Trafficing of Stolen Goods, which is likely a felony in your state.
Regardless of the item's value it's a felony here in WA.
Since he claims he didn't know it was stolen it may not stick but for $500 is he willing to risk it?
Good luck
