Most models of the Whites are worth at least $300 if they are in like new condition. That is of course if you want an inline that shoots conicals like no other can and you are satisfied with #11 percussion cap ignition. Whites are well known for being able to shoot multiple shots without cleaning between shots with even powder as fouling as Pyrodex. I think you should have tried to get more information and location of the dealer so that you could have gone forward with the deal. I have a few Whites and they are surely a fine and well made muzzleloader.
