That works out (if my calculations are right) 0.0121 per mile.
Is that decent?
Regards.
I'd only buy them at that price if there was a particular flight i was going to book/upgrade in the short-to-medium future and I was sure I was going to save more than the 0.0121 ppm.

I'd not buy them at that price just to build up my Avios balance. There are potentially cheaper ways to buy miles (paging Raffles )
