A great deal, but what will you use them for? Those are inserts for a VWDR insert drill in the 1" to 1-1/4" range, and UK20 is the uncoated grade for cast irons. The 1P chipbreaker is a light T-land (dull) edge prep for that kind of material.
The Val-U-Dex drills were discontinued in 2011, and just this year they've stopped making the inserts and are just selling whatever is left in stock. They've had a "Body Exchange Program" in place for a couple of years to swap out the older drills for newer Walter "XtraTec" drills, but that's just the steel bodies and not the inserts.
Fortunately there are a LOT of those drills on eBay and elsewhere, plus the drills currently offered by Ultradex (and perhaps Dorian) use those inserts too. I have a full box of the next size up, WCEM321-1P/WCEM060304-1P in the coated grade 5225 and I've been offering them for $30 with no takers for some time.
