I told him 10k cash or check and that is it. He always came back to "why do you have a price on it if it's not for sale?", even after I told him multiple times why. Man was he obstinate.

I understand both your choice of putting a high tag on items and his or others confusion at its "not for sale" status. I have always put it in these terms - there is nothing I own that is not for sale. There are certain items that I believe nobody in their right mind would choose to pay me an amount at which I would choose to sell it. I believe most of what everyone talked about above fits this model.
