.mobi I sold sportsbook.mobi for $XXX,XXX

saltysoda · Jan 15, 2007

Dotmobi is still alive as I sold sportsbook.mobi for six figures the exact figure would not first be disclose at this forum but would be made known in 48hrs to 72hours.

I am happy with this sale as this name was registered on oct. 17 for about $30.48 and was sold within 2 months.While sometimes I am cautiously optimistic about dotmobi ,my overall believe is that dotmobi's success is coming and i would not be left behind because of it's great potential to battle for the supremacy of the mobile web.

I am not here to hype dotmobi, because the potentials of it are increasing by days not months or years so with it's value.
no wait and see approach for me as i am currently developing my mobile site and also i don't have wait and see seven figure's budget to buy dotmobi when it's finally successful .
My final take on dotmobi? This would be a battle for supremacy for the mobile web between dotcom and dotmobi with no clear winner.
what does this mean?dotmobi would be as important as dotcom.

Congrates.....soda

I think the point being made here, is that their are some heavy hitters, betting mobi will be the mobile domain of choice....

If this is the case, then many here will make very nice coin...

Thank you for reporting this sale. Congrats are in order!

Yes, my take is with the new Nevada legislation, ( the first really in this country) allowing Casino owners in Nevada to do online gamling bets will turn the mobi gambling extensioins into pure gold.

If this sale is legit or not, that new law will catapult any decent .mobi gambling names to high sales.

Its really about the market. The market for these names is heating up fast.

Good, now go and bid on my poker name everybody! :lol:

Thanks for confirmation. Congrats again to saltysoda, well done for holding out for the big one! Some here would have taken around $5k for it! LOL

Can you elaborate on this "new Nevada legislation" for "online gambling bets" as I can't find anything on it.

Only thing I can find is covering "mobile devices" that are distributed by the casino for use only around the casino. Nothing about "online" or "Mobile" in a way that would impact .mobi or any other online gambling in the US.

Would appreciate a link.

There will always be sceptics on some sales no matter what the extension (I had it with .co.in), down to disbelief , competitior(s), simple jealousy or other reasons.

.mobi for some reason has attracted more than it's fair share of comments but equally has proved itself beyond doubt , not that it may necessarily be "the" way to access the mobile internet but certainly as an investment whether it be short term or ongoing.

A wonderful sale, along with the other many sale, - and that is from somebody who was a .mobi sceptic (actually somehow I now have over 40!) but I have no problem in accepting I was wrong, unlike some others I see on the various forums. :hi:

Please share your thoughts ...
Thanks.

LOL wot. You're by far no newbie, and one who's had success, and will continue to as you adapt accordingly! GL

WOWOWOW! Congrats!!! What a sale!

BTW: Almost on the same day that sportsbook.mobi sold for 6 figures, I sold a .com for $6x!!! so congrats to myself too!!!

Broker · Jan 16, 2007

I cant imagine $xxx,xxx in my hand for a domain sale in which I bought the domain for say $30.00

Unreal yet inspiring, and I will continue to work hard.

That said, Congrats on the sale. That is just awe$ome!!

labrocca · Jan 16, 2007

I can see many .mobi names hitting $xxx,xxx figures because the extension has valid mobile draw. Sportsbook.com is most likely the buyer and for them..it's worth it. They are the ultimate end-user buyer. This went for top-dollar and it's most likely not intended for resale. This is HOW to domain...selling to end-users should be the goal of any domainer. The stuff we pass around on this site is poppycock compared to what end-users buy and spend on Sedo or Moniker. Moniker imho does an amazing job at finding end-user buyers. I have a feeling they may be involved in the sale.

Sportsbook.mobi hmm...great job and congrats again.

btw...can someone wipe this egg off my face!

owntype · Jan 16, 2007

I do hope the seller would share the details and tips how the negotiation runs. Thank you in advance.
