Unless you are a huge Seuss fan and this specific item really lights up your dials (in the sense that you'd personally pay $500 for it if you had the disposable cash), I'd sell it. Anyone who would pay $500 for it would be thrilled and treasure it, and then you could spend the $500 for anything that you'd take as much pleasure in owning yourself.
I once bought a pair of vintage 1970s cowboy boots for $1 at a garage sale that turned out to be highly collectible (Britney Spears wore the same exact pair) and I sold them on ebay for $530. Which I then spent in a delicious madness of utterly indulgent book and clothing purchases.
