They weren't listed for a few hours -- the discs were listed for a week or until they were all sold; the 50 that went up just didn't take all that long to go.
I think this was handled very well: an obscure auction title, a couple of days warning about the auction, and a specific time when they'd become available. In retrospect I have to say that even selling them via eBay was a very good choice because it makes how and when they were sold very transparent: you can see who bought how many and exactly when they were sold, and eBay very carefully manages the security and timing of auctions so we know that info is accurate.
