My guess is these auctions end up being good publicity for bitcoin. Ain't it?
Nice, going to try and nab some decent coinage in this auction if the price is right.
Seized BTC24,500 to be auctioned. This time in Australia.

The bitcoin community could soon see another high-profile auction of bitcoins confiscated from users of the now-defunct online black market Silk Road.
Australian law enforcement officials are now in possession of 24,500 bitcoins (worth $9.4m at press time) following the conviction of their original owner, 32-year-old Warrandyte native Richard Pollard. Pollard was given an 11-year prison sentence today after pleading guilty to commercial drug trafficking, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
