I think anyone can see why a mileage redemption of old, 2x12090 or about 24000 RDMS, at a valuation of even 1cpm, of 240 USD didn't last.
There were 7 segments on UA for this trip. The only common two segments for comparison were the LAX-HKG route. I have no idea what the individual segment pricing for this route was but as you point out, it seems it is valued at $150 for each of these legs.

Behaviour? Who's behaviour?
