Browning Bike Dilemma

Hello! I am in a dilemma, I showed this bike to a stranger who claimed to be a bike expert for an estimated value. He told me I could probably get $1,300 for it, but he offered me $750 then and there which I agreed on. He gave me $500 (all he could withdrawal) and said he could get the next $250 2 days later and then I bring him the bike. When I took the bike to him he informed me that the bike was only worth $70-$100 and asked if he could just call it $200 and get the other $300 back. Mind you I have ZERO knowledge when it comes to bikes, so I don't know if this is a scam or just someone screwing up. These are the only pics I have of this bike, so if you could tell what the value is based on that please help.

Also what would you all do in this situation. He has the bike now, and I still have the $500.

Turns out I can't post pics as a new user, but it is a vintage Browning touring bike in good condition with all original parts (from what that guy told me).
