Gold Plated Beads?

Ok so I was browsing around and saw these gold plated beads, this auction is for a 300 count but some are 1000 count and they cost like 4$ total with free shipping.
I was wondering how could they be gold plate and cost so little? Maybe they are just gold color or something

Don't do it. I've been there and done that. These are so tiny and flash plated so light it rubs off on your fingers.
