okay, lets say one of you guys really wanted the coins. would you put a sealed bid at market price (hoping no one else wants to pay retail). or would you pay 10-20% more or less?
If I wanted 3k coins, I would contact a miner and attempt to negotiate a price a little under market.
If this auction appeared on my radar whilst I was considering it, I'd probably throw in a low-ball offer on the off-chance.
Thus I think these coins will sell at a discount.
with the ever increasing hashrate trying to mine 3k coins may prove to be challenging. http://youtu.be/KXOZgLmbkHA
