Congrats to the seller of Getgo.mobi:clap2: : it sold via Sedo auction for $ 6286!!

A lot of money for this domain...

First bidder won the auction. No other biddings. I bet this one is sold to an end-user

All i can say is the seller was lucky, the domain makes no sense to me at all! Very good money for what i'd call a rubbish domain! But well done to the seller!

You know what? I would support the .mobi investors, but this one sounds a litte-bit fishy. Let me correct myself. It cannot be possible. It must be a scam.

A. 1 user.
B. $6286 for one bid!?

Doesnt make sense.

Until the following changes, it IS a scam! Shame on you!

My guess here is that (and I'm only guessing) someone maybe bid on there own domain (under different name) to push it on the auction and hoping to recieve 1 more bid...:lol:

.... but what do I know :baby:

Seriously, I don't smell anything.

Someone really wanted this domain and placed one bid on Sedo. The seller started an auction, nobody placed an other bid...

or it is getgo.de - Big German Ticket Site

or it is the owner of the following TM:

It's impossible to know the 'why' behind every domain sale.

Just because you might not understand it, doesn't mean it's not legit.

I see domain sales that surprise me all the time, names you see in dnjournal that go for 2k or 3k that wouldn't get reg fee on this forum.

In this case, 'getgo' is short, positive, easy to remember, and seem to already be used by different business, so not really a surprise.
