Yes. And although there's absolutely nothing wrong with buying it for $500 if that's what they asked (I paid $20 for mine!) the advice of another member here who'd legendary in "getting the deal done" (you know who you are!) would probably be, especially if things are moving worrisomely slowly at the free or $500 level, to cut your risk of the deal going bad AND perhaps do the honorable thing by taking $1,000 or $2,000 in cash over to the owner and making it happen NOW!
