I checked after seeing the post are both are for tubed tyres, but he did say there is no problem running tubes in tubeless tyres. Is this correct?
Price is £128 for both including p&p. I guess that could change depending on where you are. Its worth calling them as he said he could beat the ebay price. I called a few places and this was by far the best quote I could find.

I think thats a great price for those sizes Rick, especially inc p&p - thanks for letting us know the details...
I didn't realise they did a 150/70 in 18 inch too - I guess that is for the bigger bikes with wider rims?, as I've only used the 140 width on my XR650...
Nomadic1's suggestion about the Dunlop 908RR on the rear is another good one - currently only one rear size (140/80 18), but it's big and meaty, and I'd agree typically lasts a bit longer than a TKC on the back...
As for using tubes in tubeless tyres - no problem there, just try to get the closest size tube to the actual tyre - a 150 rear is going to need a big tube!
I'd recommend the Michelin UHD (ultra heavy duty) tubes - especially in the front (to help stop pinch flats) very strong - 4mm thick! - and last pretty much forever...
