Is this a good coop for this amount of money?

For four hens, if it comes with the run I'd say go for it. Looks REAL nice.

edited to change as i just went back and reread it it says the run is more but i can prob make one depending on how much this person charges, but i am sure i can fine a better one hey i got time lol im selling all but my duckling ,1 5 week pullet and my over 1 year hen tomorrow, but i got another 50 eggs in the incubator due the end of the month so we will see i will prob just build one my self thanks for the response

That coop is 4'X4', or 16 sq. ft., so at 4 sq. ft. per hen, that is 4 hens. You have 50 in the bator.

I know you already said you will probably build your own. But sounds like you need to do a little more research, to have even asked this. 50 hens would = 200 sq. ft. of coop and 500 sq. ft. of run, minimum. If half are roos and they go to freezer camp that is still 100 sq. ft. of coop and 250 sq. ft. of run. You do not want to crowd them, I promise!
