There has been lots of volume on Poloniex lately (largely due to ETH). I think Aeon will get a lot more attention when/if it is finally added there.

Alternatively, hit the ask a little every day for a month or two.
That's exactly how I got my minnow-sized holding of Aeon, now 10'000 worth. The advantage of doing it this way is that it inclines you to think longer-term about the price; it induces you to be patient. Formalized, this way is known as "dollar-cost averaging" and it does work. Sometimes you buy high, sometimes you buy low, but in the end you tend to get a better average price than the average punter.
Good approach.
I'd add that another good way to build a minnow-sized holding (and support and improve the strength of the network) is through patient mining. I've built this up entirely though solo mining, mostly full time on one small (fanless) computer, plus part time on a few other ones:

Over 16000 Aeon from solo mining is a pretty nice reward for helping to keep the network decentralized.

Yes!

Allow me to concur with americanpegasus in my wordy way. 
What is your intent? If it's to artificially prop up the price, please don't bother.
Especially since it's likely to be futile. Vacuuming up the buybook doesn't do much for the price, except temporarily, because other folks don't see any real reason to jump in - except on the sell side. Pumping is a dark art that revolves around social engineering, not (just) having lots of BTC to throw around.
And even if someone you know is skilled at that dark art, an all-out pump causes more problems than it solves. Sure, a real pump jacks up the price and even keeps it higher than otherwise over a long period of time, but it ends up calling forth some dark emotions. Case in point: Horizon, before I got involved in it, was pumped by the most notoriously successful pump group around here. The result was quick profits for some - and a lot of recriminations. One of the original members of the Horizon dev team ended up quitting as a result of those recriminations and squabbles.
And if you're going to do that, your hold time had better be "forever." I've done that myself, with Horizon, but I'm now focused on what I can do with the Horizon platform rather than with its price. Consistent with that aim, I've thrown some BTC into other coins and I'm watching their prices with an eye on how much I've made - but not Horizon's. If you want to be an Aeon Leviathan, this attitude is the best one to take. You will find that it's fun thinking about what you can do with Aeon once you break out of the "penny stock" habit.

Alternatively alternatively, go full autism like I did and slam your bitcoins again and again into the ask stack, getting drunk and yelling slurs at your monitor while confusing bots and humans alike. I can attest it's *almost* worth paying the premium.
"Pay for the privilege."
At least, you'll have a Leviathan-sized brag. 
I also promise your wall, should you erect it, is safe from me - can't promise anyone else.
Trust me on this one: it won't be. See above.
If someone put a big buy wall (maybe 20BTC+) at the current price do you think it would just sit there or would people dump into it?

If you honestly wish to absorb 20 bitcoins at these prices, feel free. You will likely end up owning 1 - 2% like me and being an Aeon Leviathan.

How many AEONs is that? I'm pretty sure that a lot of the mined coins get dumped so they would probably eat away at the wall.

If I was well qualified to help in that area I would. Unfortunately I am not the person for this job. If the right person if found I am more than willing to help fund him/her.

Lots of small social victories lately. They are all leading up to something, I'm sure.

Thank you!

Good skills. I think a few people had contacted them over the past couple of weeks with no luck. So well done you.

After discussions, Freenode has kindly granted ownership of IRC channel #aeon to the Aeon project.
In a situation that mirrored the recent Reddit transfer, the #aeon channel was technically already registered to another party, but in effect had been dormant for over 10 years.
Big thanks to Freenode (particularly tinyhippo) who facilitated the transfer.
Please now point your IRC clients toward #aeon and gradually remove #aeoncoin from your collective conciousness.
(For the record, we never actually controlled #aeoncoin either, so it's great that we now have an official IRC base.)
