Welcome to the Cafe and to mandolin playing. Any mandolin will need to be properly setup in order to play well. It will likely cost you as much as that mandolin does, unfortunately.
If you're handy, you can do the setup yourself.
Once it's setup, it will be fine to learn on.
Enjoy!
That mandolin is sold under dozens of brand names. I had one I picked up a while back on a closeout at Wal-mart and ended up giving it to a young lady that wanted to learn mandolin.

Having a luthierthat knows mandolins set it up is not too expensive. Then it should play well.
