In Dan's (danmanmktng) defense... He didn't say you were involved with it directly. He just suggested it was a fake bid, and and I think he was probably expressing what many others are thinking, because it does seem an unlikely name to get a $10,000 starting bid.
Sometimes people make fake bids at Sedo and other venues just to play games with sellers.

But it is a 5k bid ( not 10k yet, unfortunately hehehe), and it was the result of earlier offers and counter offers...
I wanted more for the name, since I believe in it a lot...
I really don't feel the offer could be fake, specially because (as it was discussed before) end users could use Trash.mobi for several different contents...
I really hope this was the accusation made by danmanmktng, but I am not sure yet.
Perhaps up to ~$500+ in a "Quick Sale" (undeveloped), IMHO. Sell on the heals of the Traffic Show / momentum!
There have been some good ideas here insofar as potential development options ... these should be explored in order to obtain maximum long-term valuations, in my view.
Best of Luck.

Speaking of TRAFFIC, I have some concerns about submiting names in the future for the conference (even though I don't have any clue about their chances of being selected) since a great name like beat.mobi, for example, went for 3K, and I feel out of TRAFFIC it could probably have gone higher than that...
My vision of TRAFFIC being the ultimate price optimizer has changed for sure...
What do you mean by fake?
The negotiation is over and the buyer paid correctly.
Trash.mobi was bought weeks ago and now it's with its new owner. What is "fake" about that?
Measure your words next time so you won't be disrespectful.
Arnie, since the transaction was completed this sale can definitely be added to the mobi sales list!
