Very good imo.
Them all finishing at same time, didnt matter as much as i thought.
excluding mobi from the home page in last minutes & STILL not including mobi in the search option grouped with the other tlds is porr business by sedo, they need to be brought to bear.
Is there a sedo rep here? if so, mass pm the wretch.
amazing to think almost all met reserves.
cant wait to see who bought & hoq quick sites will be put up.
good stuff

A success, but not earth shattering. I don't know all of the final numbers, but they don't seem to be higher than most of our predictions in an earlier thread.
The auction was fun, but now the exciting part begins. Seeing who won them, what they do with them, and how they promote them. Good times are coming.

I totally agree. who cares if not earth shattering. realistically with this many quality pure generic keywords, its amazing most sold.
the fun is seeeing how they are developed and by whom.
interestingly, something like loans.mobi may have been bought by a big player, in which case today may have been the last time it ever comes on sale again.
many of the priginal coms were nailed by supergeeks and have done the rounds until landing in an endusers pocket.
it's kind of different these days.
i wonder if its half and half?
endusers & speculators/light developers?

Now that it's over.....
It's hard NOT to call this a smashing success yet, somehow... I predict that the "unusual suspects" will take the time to take their foot out of their mouths to spew their "thoughts" about how this tld is still not needed, doesn't make sense, will be worthless in a few years, blah, blah, blah, we all come to loath and expect.
As good as I feel about the results now...I'll really start rejoicing when these puppies are bought and paid for. It will be interesting to see what kind of sites the winners come up with in 6 months! :hehe:

You just stole Jeff's thunder with the last paragraph.
Kudos!

Just think of what these names in .net would have sold for, and then decide whether it was a success or failure!!

don't know why we are comparing to nets??? lol
it was a success. we cant compare mobi & dont need to compare mobi to any other extension.
my hope is mobi leapfrogs all other extensions apart from com (which i think we alll know it will never) & sit there as a little brother. semi-household name would be the aim in the short-midterm.
anyway, i've always hated net's

I would second that, for what it's worth.
Any guesses?

OK, so we have one Jeff-free day and you Arnie start picking up fights with about ten thousand other potential Jeffs.
Good work mate

LOL
By comparing to nets, thats when u let in the naysayers as its a baseless comparison imo
I am as big a fan as anyone. we dont need to compare to anything though.
One good comparison is that no ever tld has been as successful in first year.
mobi is astand alone extension & we can be rpoud to be involved.
Exciting times ahead.
For the record, i know i poke fun but i really like Jeff. Seriously

They would have ended the bidding a few grand higher if i was home! I had 3 domains i was bidding on but i was at work and won well .....................none!
The next auctions i'd better be off for or i will have to complain to Sedo about it!!!
I'm also f**king furious with sedo for not even having a mobile website available what a f**king cheek to collect all that commission money and they are supposed to be a supporter of .mobi?? I may of even won an auction if they had a mobile website!!!

Ironic that isn't it...
Aggie, I'm sure you're not alone. Commiserations mate, hope they learn all the key lessons this time, not one at a time.
But I digress: given the circumstances, this was one truly impressive performance! Well done mobi, way to go!

LOL :blink:
Mate i've emailed several times they probably just laugh and delete it like the domain 'professionals' they are! Preds tried too! It'll go nowhere unless their commission money is on the line, such as mtld demanding their .mobi is made mobile and is working as a proper useable site! Or they auction them at Afternic! That would make Sedo sit up and take notice, and .mobi out of the cctld section and put into it's rightful home with the rest of the tld's!
