Those flutes (as well as the other colored flutes on eBay) are junkers. The individual instrument you end up with (assuming you buy one) may or may not play initially, but it will shortly begin falling apart, needing repairs that more than likely will cost more than the flute itself, if you can even find a tech to do the work. Most won't touch instruments like these, as in the course of fixing one problem, another will spring up, and then another, to the point that it's not economically sensible to repair the instruments. These flutes were (and probably still are) built of pot metal, which is much softer than the alloy most quality flutes have under their plating, which means they're easier to damage, and harder to fix, particularly if heat is involved, as normal soldering techniques can go right through the body. The headjoints on these cheap imports are less than desireable, the mechanisms poorly built, and the scale is often atrocious (I've played imports where certain notes where 1/4 step or more flat). Not to mention that in short order the coloring will wear through, creating a very unattractive finish. In my opinion, there is absolutely no advantage to owning one of those flutes unless you're looking for something shiny to make into a lamp. Save your money and buy a flute from a reputable maker.
Are there any other "difrent" flutes that i should buy (that will work good)
like one that isn't xstremly expensive and will stand out "like being a color"?
What are the good things and bad things about owning this instrument?
Well the good thing about one is that you could make a cool looking flute lamp with one and the bad things are that it probably won't play and it basically a decorative toy.
I bought my first flute on ebay for this price and it was a great yamaha
So that dosent mean that the price means it is bad quality
The price itself is not indicative of quality, particularly coming from a source like eBay, but the flute you linked to is NO WHERE near as good quality-wise as a Yamaha is. If you're looking for a step-up/intermediate flute (which I assume from your mention of already having a flute), Cibaili, Venus, Selman, and the other junk brands will not serve your needs.

If you're looking for a good quality flute, toss out the idea of getting one that's colored, unless you're going to buy a Titanium Landell and have it anodized pink or something. However, that will cost you several thousand dollars. There are plenty of good quality instruments that aren't hugely expensive, but to be able to make any useful recommendations, we'll need to know what you're looking to do with the flute (are you going to play through college as a music major, or just play for your own enjoyment on the weekends?), and what kind of a budget you're looking at ("extremely expensive" can be vastly different things to different people).

Also, what kinds of specs are you looking for (if you have any in mind)?

If you're just buying to get a "cooler" flute, you should probably just save your money. If you're starting to feel held back by the instrument, then there might be a reason change instruments, but simply wanting something "cooler" to play doesn't justify spending up to $500 (at least in my opinion). In any case, almost any decent quality instrument you buy for that price is going to look almost exactly like what you have now.
