I'm not sure about how cheap it would be (and it sounds like a dangerous prank). You not only have to pay for the enchantment and the item, you have to find/pay someone who's willing to go through that eight hours--and take the chance of getting a neck injury if they turn their head wrong. And that's to get what's apparently inferior rope.
