Yes, I buy them from grand bazaar, as well as all other things I need / want for my works.
The 'Stone' beads are between 50 - 75 USD per kilogrammes, the 'Wooden' costs 15 - 20 USD pkg and 'Plastic' ones, are the cheapest ones, almost 3 - 5 USD pkg.
Also most of shops sell the remains of older things for almost 30 USD pkg, you can find anything, among them. Some worth more than that, some are just garbage / low quality items.
Yes, this design is one of most popular ones in my country.
Once came across a couple of guys in a shop in Petra looking over a large brass tray of trinkets, many like this. It was as though they had just found a treasure trove and were bartering over who was getting what.
