I had tried to buy more than 30 contracts
Usually when I want to buy "a lot" of contracts relative to OI and volume, I will spread my purchases (or sales as they may usually be) across multiple strike prices. That gives me more of a chance of getting better prices overall. It's almost become a habit because even in things that have HUGE OI/volume compared to my small trades, I still do it (use multiple strike prices). In this case, you could have done some 440s, some 445s, some 450s, some 455s, and some 460s, and then with only 5 or 6 contracts in each, when you decide to sell, you can get that top bid much more often.
