I would write by recorded delivery restating the terms of the sale as you understood them to be (include copies of the contract/ emails that confirm these terms), and require the buyer to pay within x days. State that their only legal options are either to pay, or contradict the terms of sale by providing written evidence to the contrary. Say that you will begin a small claims court action to recover both the sum outstanding AND your legal costs (emphasise the costs part and refer to also claiming monies for your time, and that in total the costs component will likely be more than the sum outstanding), and include a copy of the court claim form to show knowledge of the procedure. Write in a tone that suggests you have used the court successfully before and are quite familiar with the process.
