I admit to dreams such as these.neobodhi said:
I think what oldtimer was eluding to, is at this stage of the game, you still can find some of those names that will be coveted enough to warrant that type of return or so. Not just regging names because you like it, it's a one worder, or for that matter was a good search term on a big screened pc, but to research it and look for those "10" names that would be more related to this extension and it's application and future. Those that register names like 'poop.mobi' at this time (nothing personal regger), and other like names, have squandered an opportunity (and $26+) by not looking for that gem that is still out there now, but won't be tomorrow. As in life, 90% of these regged names will sit, expire, or be useless, and 10% will bring rewards to those that worked, researched, saw the needs and plucked the nuggets.oldtimer said:
In support of this observation: There's already clear initial evidence of good names fetching 50-100 times of the typical reg fee in Pool auctions...and one should keep in mind that these were NOT your usual aftermarket sales...these were domain investors competing with each other. I do feel that many/most veteran domainers saw .Mobi in the same light as .name and .aero...and have been caught off guard by what I'd call good solid "indications" for its eventual success.oldtimer said:Snoop, Perhaps you are right if you are talking about all domains in general for this extension, but I were specifically referring to premium and semi premium domains that some smart and lucky people are still able to get at register fee. Even though most true premium domains have been reserved but it might still be possible to get a slightly different version of those premium domains at register fee. I also mentioned that if the extension picks up and becomes the default for all mobile devices and is given priority on search engines then each one of your names might be worth several thousand dollars as developed websites. I have lately noticed that some people are choosing a negative tone when they comment about this new extension and it makes me wonder if they have been caught off guard by the success of .mobi and now are trying to drawn this extension at birth before it grows up to threaten their king.
