Having been someone that had high expectations for a name I listed on ebay with no reserve and was unpleasantly surprised, I think you're making a huge mistake.

Many of those names are still available on more popular extensions. It looks like you were searching for .mobi names on godaddy and you took their list of "also availables" too seriously.

I think you will lose money on this auction, but I wish you luck and hope I am wrong.

I dont see any major keywords, seems to be all made-up/brandable names... I agree 100% with NameTrader.

To be honest, when I say your portfolia I thought they were all worthless except for "sex personals", which is a good one.

I just reread my post, and I think "worthless" was a little harsh. Hope it didn't offend. What I should have said as I don't see them being worth more than reg fee at the moment.

Neobodhi - No worries.

Silhoutte - The bid is up to $51, so that covers about a domain and half.

Heh.

My guess: $2000 - but it can be way too low or too high though, depending on who is watching your auction.
At this point it looks very promising, since there are still 5+ days left.
For convenience, I'm copy and paste the names here:

ADULT NAMES
* SexPersonals.mobi
* FindEscorts.mobi

MUSIC & VIDEO NAMES
* MusicPlanet.mobi
* MP3World.mobi
* MP3Planet.mobi
* FreeRingtonez.mobi
* iVideoChat.mobi
* FreeVideoChat.mobi

MAPS & NEWS NAMES
* SatMaps.mobi
* MapsDirect.mobi
* TopHeadlines.mobi
* ActionNews.mobi

OTHER NAMES
* Jobster.mobi
* ArcadeBoy.mobi
* ReadBible.mobi
* RecipeLand.mobi
* StatTracker.mobi

Thanks levanle, My initial thought was also around $2k.

But, afterall it is an auction so it can fall either way.

You are a braveheart.

I applaud you for taking this risk.

True entrepreneurial spirit.

There are a few good names in there.

Good luck my friend,

OK concidering IMO the future of .mobi I would say that
* SexPersonals.mobi
* MusicPlanet.mobi
* Jobster.mobi
are quite nice mobis

.....but paired with the rest in one package is a NoRisk-NoFun.mobi game.

Good luck
