It looks like a full source code library and development kit that covers several operating systems. If well done and nicely portable, the price is not out-of-line with similar packages implementing some moderately obscure comm protocol. Depending on what the associated licenses allow you to do, of course. Having "quantity pricing" on such a product is pretty unusual, though; usually it's a "one license per site" sort of thing. It can be easily worth the money, too, if the protocol is proprietary and complex. cisco bought a LAT implementation for about that price, way back when, and it was money well spent...
