You had to have a bot to get in on the sub-$200 coins, they went instantly with people who had automated orders on them. With that said, there was about a 5-10 minute window I saw on both Coinbase and BTC-E where it was 450-550ish. I told myself if i saw 600 I would buy a little, and I got a small amount at 560 around 5am EST
It would be interesting to hear if anyone had ultra low BTC-e orders that never got filled. I have been the victim of prices dipping below my buy in orders and somehow not getting them filled before it shoots away back up. That would be on Bitfinex.
If there was front running bots involved, then here is one of your culprits:

Hey Bobshite, don't fancy showing us a screenshot of your buy in do ya?
Yes there are many on BTC-e who has orders in $100-$300 range that never got filled in, it happened so fast that i think only a limited amount of people actually got to buy it at those prices before it shot up to $500+
