Ouch, Carlos! 12 Euros each plus postage.

You can find some old ones (even used ones) on Ebay or a camera fair, clean off 
the emulsion and recoat them with sensitive emulsion for much less than that – 
the results could be unpredictable but, at the end of the day, using plates in 
a Rolleiflex is probably for fun anyway. The experimentation will be fun too.

I have no idea if it would work.

Macodirect is selling a box containing 10 Agfa APX 100 65x90x1,5mm glass 
plates. It looks a bit expensive IMO, but it could be an interesting option to 
use the Rollei Plate Adapter or a 6,5x9cm camera like the Voigtländer Bergheil:
