Just read this in an email from Sedo. Some of the names are excellent ones. It will be interesting to see how things go on these auctions when they kick off.

Check out the Sedo article on Domain Wire

"Among the .mobi domain names to be auctioned by Sedo include Wine.mobi, Autos.mobi, Clubs.mobi, ATM.mobi, Pizza.mobi, Dentist.mobi, Music.mobi, Photos.mobi and Roses.mobi. The first auction will be for Roses.mobi and will launch on Valentines’ Day. I like ATM.mobi, which could be a mobile phone ATM locator. Music.mobi could be a big hit given the surge in press about mobile music over the past few years (Apple’s new iPhone announcement won’t hurt, either.)"
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/279476-sedo-premium-list-auctions.html

Although we will see massive sales I'm not too sure I like this. These names need to be developed, not bought so they can be parked.

True, but it's quite likely that the end users will be willing/able to bid higher than the speculators, right? So odds are fairly good that if awareness of the auctions is high enough, they'll fall into the "right" hands...

I'll be interested to see how "ATM" does, as I have "ATMMachine" and "ATMMachines." Or "Wine" -- I've got a number of wine domains as well...

Sweetheart, I bought you Roses.mobi for $150,000, a lovely bargain compared to the fella who spent $200,000 on Flowers.mobi.

Eric, thanks for the Premium .mobi intel about the Sedo auctions.

These auctions will create sparks.

I'm excited!

I agree, and I'd be very curious if, and which, any End users purchase these .MOBI domains and immediately begin earnst development, IMHO.

Can they be assured - in advance of these auctions - that .MOBI will be the default extension in a mobile web?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279476

Or, do you think it'll just be the usual suspects involved in these auctions ... and ultimately purchasing, and then parking, these .MOBI domains?

Thanks for any insight.

I'm glad you agree. I pray that only Web Designers or a big company with plans for the name actually bid on them.

I understand your concerns, but I don't think of the Sedo auctions as being much different than the TRAFFIC auctions. In fact, it opens it up more, I think -- a company doesn't have to attend (or have a buyer for them at) the conference to be able to bid.

Very true. It will be quite exciting to see these names up for auction. I can't imagine what kinds of bids something like Music.mobi will get.

Keep in mind that the leadership of 1-800 Flowers (Flowers.com) placed a $190,000 bid for Flowers.mobi at the October TRAFFIC when .mobi was not on the public's radar....end users will play & purchase at the Sedo auctions and future TRAFFIC auctions.
