Do the math.

16*40=640 for 10$ or 1000 cents
1000/640=1.5625 cents
You have 3 of them. 3*1.5625= ~ 5cents.

You are being ripped off.

meaning that these substitutes are so common.
Usually they are sold in Moscow as quartblocks (4 stamps in a square) at about 70 roubles, 26 roubles=1$. I have not been to stamps section on ebay for months, but I am sure you will find bargains there.
