It's looking like the consensus is between the $580-640USD/BTC range for the selling price. The sample size is still small at 15 people, but I'm expecting this crowd-prediction to be correct. (closes at 8pm tonight EST) Edit: Now closed. Discussion still welcome.

And with a supposedly closed door auction, how are you going to even know what the selling price is exactly?

The price will obviously go above the bitstamp average, no way they will sell below that, thats an auction not a sale.

Have you seen some of the prices on seized property/cars auctioned by the government? Bargain basement prices. Not the best comparison here, maybe, but it's not so obvious to me.

Have you seen some of the prices on seized property/cars auctioned by the government? Bargain basement prices. Not the best comparison here, maybe, but it's not so obvious to me. I have never heard of the auction of any seized property going for more than the mark to market value but it being rathermore the case that seized property goes under the hammer for firesale prices. We are not talking about rare works of art seized from Nazi loot stashes here. We are talking about lines of computer code in a cryptographic monetary system. Each 'unit' of which is as nondescript, intangible, and as interchangeable as the next. I would suggest top price will be $520, which will be a 61.8% retracement of the recent $680 high, which would be the price that institutional money playing on the exchanges would be happy to take substantial long positions. Anything beyond that, and the big money will know that they could get a much better deal going down different avenues, not least of all strategically deploying their market clout in order to bring the market down.

I think current market price is the best predictor.
Slightly above that, I suppose, because it is an auction where nobody can see the other bids before final resolution.
I'm even more interested to see how the market moves after the auction.

How does this auction affect the price? Since it's directly sold not through an exchange will it not have any effect, just a speculative effect?

There is not the slightest chance these coins will go under market value. There will be lowball offers by people who think they will get cheap coins for some of the same reasons a few posters have already stated in this thread. There will also be people who are smart that realize this is a large amount of coins without slippage in price and with a stamp of approval from the Government will bring a higher than market price tag. These will be the bidders who win the auction. I suspect SecondMarket will bid over market value for every coin for sale since they haven't bought much lately and can now catch up and buy more without slippage. If you do not see this, you are either new to bitcoin or very naive.

If someone is willing to pay at a higher price than the price now, why not just slowly buy at the exchange.. or through the miners..

Miners already have contracts out. The biggest miners, that aren't pools, will be lucky to make 100 coins a day. So that would take over a year with the difficulty rising like it is. Buying slowly at the exchanges will be quicker, but the slippage is still horrible when people start front-running you. Meaning that the volume will pick up as you buy, the price will rise as you buy, and this will encourage other people to buy. So you will not get even close to dollar cost averaging about $750 per coin by the time you get 29K BTC.

And with a supposedly closed door auction, how are you going to even know what the selling price is exactly?Sorry missed this one - I am not the host of the bet but the general impression is that we will know the amounts. Further, if you noticed the contract decision logic, he wrote 'sum(total auction sales)', so as long as the government announces 'we've sold the coins, total auction proceeds were 21M', then you have your answer. Lastly, if we don't know, then everyone gets their deposits back 100%. We'll probably hold it a week after the auction to see any leaks.
