Don't be so easy on yourself - people will always be in the position to "need" something that you have and if you're willing enough to give it away so carelessly then why complain about it now?
I say you press the issue about as far as you can without taking her to court. Is $500 really worth the stress of filing the papers, taking her to court, and presenting your case? In any case, take it as a learning experience.
