user153: What options are available to purchase bitcoins in bulk (e.g. a buy in the range of ten thousand dollars or more) without having to mess around with a market exchange?
How can it be determined if the price is fair?
What payment methods are accepted?

user1580: I think that in common sense, as there is no central authority to be emiting bitcoins you can not simply be buing wholesale. The only way to get more stable and equal price is: 
Firstly - Go to the exchange which handles big volume of BTC, e.g. Mtgox.com
Secondly - You can just be buying the smaller rate of bitcoins. 
The payments metods include mainly wire transfers, in Europe SEPA (which is cheaper for earopean), and many other things like Ucash. You can also buy Linden Dollars and trasfer to bitcoin. Or https://www.bitcoinary.com/ seems to be good way when paying with paypal. 

user403: It isn't too hard to find someone willing to sell large amounts of BTC at around the MtGox market price with no fee. You can try #bitcoin-otc or the Bitcoin Forum's "Currency exchange" section. Wire transfers and Western Union are the most commonly-accepted transfer methods for large amounts.
It's also very easy to buy MtGox USD coupons. A lot of sellers will trade 1 MtGox USD for 1 transferred USD -- no fee at all (besides the transfer fee).

user441: You can buy them by trading directly with someone who wants to sell a bunch of coins. One good place to find willing counterparties bitcoin-otc (#bitcoin-otc on freenode irc, and bitcoin-otc.com).

user153: The following offer sales of bitcoins in larger quantities:

Tangible Cryptography sells coins received for its bitcoin cash-out service FastCash4Bitcoins.com
Bit-Pay Merchant Services, a merchant processor (minimum $10K transaction)
