Yes, this decent price (better as there is no Fed Exercise Tax due t CARES Act)
But the general advice on FT is never, ever buy on speculation.
If you have an immediate need / opportunity, then price it out versus the paid ticket and the cost for the number of miles UA is asking, it the mileage purchase cost is better, than it is a good deal.
