I sold ATL.mobi for $5000 then the guy I sold it to sold it right away for $5500. I still have 29 other good .mobi domain names for sale at USBestNames.com, along with over 200 more other domain extensions in my portfolio... check it out!!!

ancientegypt 250$ Sedo
(I did not send to auction, because I appreciated to receive a correct first offer -slightly less-, even if not a big sale; end-user I believe: ancient-egypt.mobi)
NO kidding. The eventual enduser would need to generate JUST A FEW deals to make back the cost on that. Incredible deal for the buyer, . We all know how expensive those keywords are to boot. Just sitting on that name parked 2 years from now would be a goldmine. (Let's hope they don't park it, however!)
"Flowers.mobi" aside ... how many - and which - of the "Top Sales" of .MOBI are developed with unique and compelling content for those that are "on the go"? Is the list of those presently being developed growing?
probably only a small small number of them are developed.. 5% would be a high guess. but you already knew that since you've been following this as long as i have.
a good number of the reported sales (95% would be a low guess) are domainer to domainer.... of course, you already knew that too.. but i guess it doesnt hurt to point it out again............. All this is just IMHOBWDOI (stands for: "in my humble opinion, but what do i know"... i made that one up just for you, jeff)
i would like to offer up and introduce a new acronym, BYAKT (but you already knew that)
as it seems certain people like to ask questions they already know the answer to, or could easily find out for themselves, they simply pose it in an attempt to make a point.

Yeah, I thought I might have missed some recent developments of these BiG reported sales while on vacation recently at the Cape (going back again this week as well, can't wait)!
I agree with your < 5% guesstimate, as well ... and it's ashame!
This is a reported sales thread.
Discussion about developed sites are in other thread ("Mobi Sightings") and repeated attempts to lessen the importance of .mobi sales should probably be limited to other discussion threads as well. IMHO
