Bread shape freshwater pearls - a good deal?

[mnorin]

Hi,
I´m a total novice when it comes to pearls. I found this e-bay listing and I am wondering if this is a good price or not for these pearls:

How much more would they cost if they where round pearls?

You can pick up freshwater pearls like this at most gem shows for about $5 per strand. They are too out of round to have much value.

It looks like “bread shape” is another way to say “potato”. These seem priced in reason, BUT look at the Postage! 21 pounds is out of sight for a bundle weighing less than a pound. I notice a number of Chinese dealers insist on extremely high postage and I regard exorbitant postage as a scam of its own.
