The auction ends tommorow and the name's value was discussed on namepros.com one week ago:

http://www.namepros.com/domain-appraisals/299259-trash-mobi.html

I truly apprecite the positive feedback some people who share my vision are giving me.
So far the price is at 5k:

Opinions?

no offense, but you're lucky to get that amount for the name ... not sure what application this would lend itself to, but who knows it's probably perfect for someone, and if it's perfect for 2 or more someones, you might get even luckier! good luck with the sale.

Seems like a strong price right now. If it does move higher it would likely not happen until the final minutes.

 

[Quality Names]

I like the feedback...no ofenses taken....
You see...to me, the value of a name like trash is obvious and HUGE...but not in the conventional way.
Anything can be trashy:

celebrity gossip, movies, news, music, online storage and countless other subjects....All these could be related to the word.
That's why I won't be surprised if it goes higher.

Before anyone mentions it...NO...I don't thing TRAFFIC results meant much to .mobi, since it's pretty clear the results of the conference in general weren't that great..

wow i am suprised you got that for it... just makes me feel that much better about some of my generics. gl with auction.

Im thinking it will be a celeb gossip site. Think of the hits it will get. Short name, descriptive for that type of site, a beauty IMO.

It's A Fantastic , Brandable , Generic Word (slang Too)lol
But Is Worth It's Weight In Gold, Even Though Trash!
Seriously, Nice Name.
Good Luck

 

[Quality Names]

Thanks a lot...I'm so glad to see more and more people share the same opinion...

I couldn't believe it when some people appraised it in $100,$200 in the other thread....

 

[GeoOwners]

yes...social sites will do very well and this one can be a social site...easy to remember and type in...

Wow, congrats!

Any idea of the source for the $5,000 bid?

Were you advertising the name heavily, or did this offer come as a surprise?

 

[shopperx]

namewaiter: Agreed.

BTW nice way to advertise your auction here.

 

[Quality Names]

The offer appeared after negotiation....I wanted more for the name...
As I said before...I believe in the name's potential a lot...and apparently...so do more people at namepros..

That got ugly, but our man Gene was on the scene to clean it up fast.

What a great Staff we have!

Quality Names - Thanks for the reply.

 

[Quality Names]

Yeah...great staff for sure....
That was bizarre....

Good luck Quality

Im gonna go out on a limb and say the $5000 bid was a fake

 

[Quality Names]

???

Im gonna go out on a limb and say the $5000 bid was a fake

Thats a mighty bold accusation and I think you might have just tarnished yer rep making it.

 

[danmanmktng]

Didn't mean it to be an accusation, just saying I think there's a chance of it being the case because in my eyes, it's a very high bid.

Perhaps someone just really wants the name.

 

[scandiman]

Perhaps someone just really wants the name.

It is best to assume this is the case instead of making unsubstantiated claims regarding a fake bid.

IMO it is entirely possible that an end user has a plan for it and the .com folks want way too much coin for theirs.
