Yes, $500 is excessive unless it is the ultra-rare gold 515 "Impressionistic" in which case it *might* sell for that or more...

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...
