I personally think they went for a high premium, but I know there are strong opinions on both sides. I havent seen a poll for this specifically so I thought I would post one...

are we actually going to see any trustworthy "results"? i wasn't sure whether prices would be disclosed through official channels, and bidders/winners may be subject to non-disclosure requirements.

by the time we find out, the price will probably have either gone up or down. Whoever found out ahead of us will have used this info to their advantage. Best bet is to keep an eye on exchange volumes.

I have a feeling either the winner will come forward and disclose the price, or the winning bid amount will be made public by some other means .... this whole scenario is way too built up in the public consciousness now for the result not to be revealed...but thats just me |

there's multiple lots, and so multiple winning prices, right? so perhaps a range is more relevant here. i still think the only info we might get is from losing bidders -- even then, i think they may be subject to non-disclosure. we may get nothing here.

thats a good point...argh, maybe you should make a new poll? something that includes the # of lots going for which $ price etc. oh well, at least this one can give a general idea of what people think these coins are worth |

False. My sources say sub-$550, and I know some pretty important people.   |

Think about it: They auctioned off 30,000 BTC.
If anyone wanted to buy 30,000 BTC on an exchange in one go they would drive the price into the sky.
Likely those coins were purchased at a higher price than spot price.

It's not that simple. One could easily say: "If anyone [USG] wanted to sell 30,000 BTC on an exchange in one go they would drive the price to $0" This sort of logic gets us nowhere. |

They put a 500 btc sell wall at $600, so they want to win the auction for less than 600.

Think about this: The Second Market Syndicate alone, one of the dozen bidding parties, wants 48,000 bitcoins. The Feds are only selling 30,000. Remember, only one of the dozen bidding parties.
In this case, buying pressure exceeds selling pressure.

Yeah, except the government will be auctioning off many more coins than this in the future. This won't be the only chance that big investors get. And there is always the OTC market... |

Many are low ball offers like this user participating: "I'm participating with a group through SecondMarket for the auction. We semi-low balled our bid."https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg7545476#msg7545476Why did Barry Silbert not include the average bidding price of the syndicate auction results ? |
How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"
