Smile How much should I pay for Segments?

I was thinking of buying 80,000 miles on American and then completing all the segments on the side, like a segment run. But I was wondering, what's a good deal per segment? How much should I pay per segment? Example : MSP TO PHX THEN TO DEN , PHX back to msp, I found this deal via US Airways costing about $75~ a segment, is this a good deal as well?

THANKS !

If you wish to receive helpful responses, you will need to post a much more specific question.

Welcome to Flyertalk.

What is your objective? Purchased miles do not count toward elite status.

Nor do trips on redeemed awards. I don't understand what your plan is.
