Hello,
 I have heard of bitcoins whales. I wanted to ask if I intend to buy 3000 bitcoins, are there sellers for this quantity?

Thanks!!

If you'll make an order on an exchang with good price then i guess it will be filled, also goverment is about to auction 30k of bitcoins separated to i think 3k piles of them so there is your chance  8)

What exchanger do you suggest?

This one is a good exchange:

https://www.bitfinex.com

* you can also have a look here ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=650262 ) for more info about the government aucion.

The best way is using a trusted exchange and making a bank deposit or bank wire for the amount you want to buy, Anx pro exchange can help you with that because triying to find someone in person can be difficult.

Do you have a business account capable of moving this much money without raising eyebrow from your bank ?

I am Agree with @DubFX you can follow his instruction.

for an order of 30,000 BTC you could have gotten some of the gov bitcoins they seized from silk road

Maybe he indeed was auctioning for the seized coins, who knows.  :D

You should deposit money on an exchange, use the money to buy bitcoin, withdraw the bitcoin, deposit more money and repeat until you have purchase the amount that you wanted to buy.

I've not been talking about single exchanger as a person, but rather about exchanges like these sites:
https://btc-e.com/
https://www.bitstamp.net/
Etc...they won't scam you like single seller may. Don't forget to put your order few dolars above market price in order to help the market and get it fullfilled ASAP :)
Good luck!

i suggest you wire lots of $$ to BTCE, Bitstamp and Bitfinex -- enough to cover all the slippage too -- and buy up the book. you'll probably start a massive bull run with these books so thin... ;D

I am actually exchanging bitcoins without fees. I currently possess 2 btc and I am looking to sell them all. Let me know if you are interested in buying.

why not try lakebtc.com??
you can control the market with 3000 btc volume!

lol, I dont think that is his intentions  ;D

In other words, his buy order will drive the price up significantly and cost him a lot more lol. :D

But it would be good for him and also for other bitcoiners  ::)
karma anyone?

Your best bet is probably to wait for the next traunch of SR bitcoins being auctioned off by the US Marshall's service.

Or you could figure out where in the hell fat-head Karpeles is residing...knock on his door and make him an offer he can't refuse :p

Who can come out of 3000 bitcoins suddenly?

http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ shows:

the 24h trading average volume of LakeBTC is only 2,000.  BTC-e is also only about 2,000
and a little better, Bitfinex's is 4,000  Bitstamp's is 3,000
if you want to buy 3,000 btc, no matter where you can control the market, but you choose okcoin or others in china.

If I were you, I would choose the LakeBTC (https://www.lakebtc.com/) or BTC-e (https://btc-e.com/).
I can not enjoy the feeling of control over the market, but also because their smple and convenient transactions and lower fees.

Spread the buy over a month and over multiple exchanges.

Contact BitPay or Coinbase maybe?

Also, I believe BitSimple may have contacts to assist in large transactions.
