Qatar Airways Privilege Club moved from Qmiles to the Avios ecosystem in 2022 (read more here) and allows moving miles between QR and BA programs after linking accounts (read more here).
The airline launched its second Avios sale of 2023, allowing Privilege Club members to buy them at an 80% bonus through June 22, 2023.
You can access this offer on Qatar’s website here.
Buying the maximum Avios allowed at an 80% bonus:
The price of Avios is 1.56 US cents each.
You can buy Avios at roughly a bit higher than 1 euro cent through Avios Booster, BA buy Avios subscriptions or at 1.2 euro cents each during frequent sales at a 50% bonus.

My Privilege Club account is in the US, while the Executive Club one uses an address in Europe.
Conclusion
There is probably better Avios pricing available for members in Europe (GBP or Europe) if BA’s Avios sales are of any indication (their USD sales are always the most expensive).
It makes zero sense to purchase at this price when you can buy it considerably cheaper through BA and move to Qatar if needed.
