IMO you MUST have a price in mind, bc you keep saying you want more than is offered.
EDIT: on a good day on ebay I recon you could get +£150 for this... but its not a good day and its not ebay
....also you should start to plan out proceedings for a claim against the housemate for the money he owes, so if you find out where he lives you can serve on him asap.
Remember if you make all reasonable endevors to serve on him at his last know address its possible to can get a judgement in default. And if you have his bank details then you may be able to get a court order to withdraw that amount.
Or once you've got a judgement, you might be able to sell the debt to bailiffs to get some of your money back.
If you haven't already done so, you need to vist your CAB or equivilent asap to get a full grasp of your legal postition.
This all might be much harder if he's not a British Citz.
