If the goal is to extract the maximum value from the sale then I agree with you. They may not get filled as quick as a market order but would get a better selling price and a perceived lower impact on the market price. Someone will whine about the share price being held down but they will get over it.
I don't understand why someone selling is concerned about what the market does after they sell out. Why are they trying to hide the sale?
