It's an M&E Polymer flute Gerry, a very decent starter flute if it's in good condition.
The picture that's posted is from the M&E website, so it's not the actual item you'd be buying. I'd email the seller and ask for pictures.
Ask also if it has the "Split Front" embouchure, as this makes the flute perform better on the low end. And, you'll want to know if it's "Plain" like the one in the photo, or if has the metal bands - which generally cost more.
A fair price for a used M&E without the bands is around $200-$250 (U.S.) max, if it's in good condition. Add another $50 to the price if it has the bands.
Good luck
