That is pretty close to what a local supplier here gets. About $240US for a 2 meter length. But of course they don't have any 4mm pitch and the 6mm is only available in RH. I'm sure they could cut a custom 30x4mm screw but I would hate to see the cost for that!

I went there looking for some acme rod for the tail stock on my offshore lathe. I had them all scratching their heads for the longest time
until they figured out it was a metric diameter with an imperial pitch. I ended up buying a slightly larger imperial rod and nut with the original pitch and had to make it work. Murphy's law in force as usual.
