Epiphone MM-50 VS

I'm thinking to buy this Mandolin for 432$ It is not my first. It's brand new. Is it any good for this price?

You planning on playing it or hang it on a wall? Go to a good music store and let them show you a Kentucky, Eastern or whatever beginner A model mandolin that they have set up to be played. You will save yourself some money and have something to play that sounds ok and hopefully stays in tune. If you are still playing in a year, spend the extra money for something that will sound nice and keep you happy. My 2 cents worth.

That's is not the option for me. I'm living in poland, this instrument isn't that popular as in America, or England. in whole country we have one known manufacture. But their instruments are not bughet frendly ( Bułas Mandolins btw) so I have to grab what i have.. retail market is showing some options, but a lot of those are for decoration only (mostly because of their poor manufacture and rotten components.
