Hones through ebay

I've been randomly stumbling upon very cheap hones when searching through ebay ( for example: New Chinese Natural Water Stone Razor Hone Sharpening - eBay (item 360211941367 end time Jan-20-11 06:24:10 PST) )

The shipping is pretty expensive but the price just seems a bit strange compared to other hones I've seen on retail sites. This seller in particular has almost a 100% feedback rating so I figured I'd solicit opinions from you guys. They are small hones but to get started and along with a 4k/8k hone, is this anything worth consideration?

Thanks!
