is it eugegall.co.uk? 
As said, it solely depends on the domain name! My boss atm owns some very very good .co.uk's worth ~£200k each ! :S

Is it currently out of use? I'd say £100 should cover it easy. Not exactly the works greatest domain or anything!

Not in a million years would I pay 500 for that.
Go with a very not bothered "100£ to cover your time etc"

Thats exactly what a web design friend literally just told me. So i need to think hard about an alternate. Should be easy enough and cost next to nothing.
Yeah he's just trying it on for sure.
What is the domain for? There's a thing with Google where having an exact match domain is an advantage (as in having your exact keyword .com or whatever). But if that's not completely relevant then it's a total waste of money.
If you explain what the purpose is for then I could offer a suggestion.

The term "google" meant nothing to anyone 15 years ago, that was just a random string of letters.
The value is only because its now well known.
What is it your website would be doing? People might have good ideas for a catch domain name or one that is relevant to searches, as google does still put quite a bit of weight into the URL itself I believe, although less then in the past.

Arguably will be better for searching that way anyway if expanded the correct way.
Obviously something like ThisBusinessBelongsToAFriendOfEugeAndHeIsAskingForHelpOnline.com is terrible. But think about Google/Flickr/Tumblr etc etc. They mean nothing.
People are going to find the business in one of a few ways..
Google - Friends of Euge near London = Doesn't really matter what your URL is as long as it's relevant-ish. Not BigBoobs.com when you're selling cars etc.
From an ad - Now, if the ad is infront of them, they'll be able to copy it. So as long as it's simple enough and not too long. No big deal.
It's still a very helpful factor. If you want to rank for 'blue widgets' for example, it's perfect to have the domain name 'bluewidgets.com'. That's why I wanted to work out what the OP is doing and thus offer a decent solution.
sorry but i disagree about the URL not being that important, its extremely important. And it has to match the company name somehow, you can't just make up a word because it will look cool.
With google, flickr etc, they would have come up with the Url before the company name, or at least at the same time. But if you already have a business with that name, now Eug has already banded that newlands name about on here before, so its imperative the url is closely connected.
Agreed the guy is nuts wanting that price for the one he wants, but if we know what the companies about (wasn't it a bar, or a property company or something?) we can help with names.
And the guy who says his boss owns several worth 200k, not really, they're worth whatever someone wants to pay for them, this guy 'thinks' his is worth £10k, unless he's sold them then they are worth nothing really, and if he hasn't sold them, then either nobody wants them or the people who do aren't willing to pay the price, so again, they aren't worth that amount.......
