Does your significant other support your mobi investment??

Keith · 04-23-2007, 10:43 AM

I am at about 375 mobis now with a list of 40-50 more I would like to reg. My wife says enough is enough. I guess I have made my last purchase for now. What is your partners take on this whole mobi thing?

I'd be looking for a new Mrs.Sniper.

Seriously, when I caught wind of a multi billion dollar project slated for an area I went out and regged about 150 domains related to the project. When I mentioned it to her she "tried" to come up with some of her own.

I have to agree with your wife so please post the remaining names for us to have

Seriously though, my wife trusts my instincts on this stuff. Hasn't failed me yet.

my girlfriend, like 99.9% of america, has no clue that . mobi exists.

Agree.

My wife (and none - I mean, zero - of her friends, family, or co-workers) have never even heard of the .MOBI, IMHO. Each one of these people has a cell phone, as well ... and with the exception of a couple of them

... all are highly educated, tech savvy, and well read, as well. It's not very encouraging as a .MOBI owner myself, humbly!

Thanks for the interesting post.

Lol! I'll be keeping a close eye on the remaining few I like in case she has a change of heart.

She was supportive for the first few hundred and then she put her foot down. I see her side but it's tough to watch great names get snatched up when they could have been mine.

Oppurtunities like this dont come everyday. Remember, once the names are gone they are most likely gone for good! Good luck to all that have chosen to invest in mtld.

I think you should PM me the list you have and I will reg them!! LOL...

Seriously though, I don't have a problem with the amount I buy it's the time I spend on the computer that pisses my wife off!!

Cheers,

Names don't disappear, they just cost more to acquire.

uh huh!! lol

My wife supports my domaining, and she likes the mobi concept.

I thus support her shopping, and need of more shoes concept.

Most people that I have talked to have never heard of .mobi either. It will only take 1 or 2 major companies to promote the ext. and the whole world will know about it. Whether they accept it or not is a different story. I'm banking on this thing going huge and then maybe my wife will let me buy some aftermarkets with the profits.

At least .mobi's don't wear out like shoes.

Jasdon · 04-23-2007, 11:15 AM

My wife's ok with it, but the funny thing is, my domains get jealous if I spend too much time with her....

klm390 · 04-23-2007, 11:15 AM

I have about a hundrend and so far all is ok at home. I think it's because I've had offers that would cover me (us) plus I've recouped some already. We'll see how it goes when I pick up a few more resales this week instead of getting new furniture.

Thats because you have to keep buying the same pair of shoes every couple of years.

I hope our wives are not reading this thread, we would be in more trouble otherwise.

circa1850 · 04-23-2007, 11:28 AM

I try to explain it. She does understand. But what she understands most is our land purchases and sales as being "real" estate vs. "virtual" real estate.

Of course, she likes the money some of the domains have brought in also.

movingconcierge · 04-23-2007, 11:31 AM

My wife is fine with it so long as I don't spend any money on it and what money I make gets withdrawn and spent on other things. Other than that, she is 100% behind it!

Zinc · 04-23-2007, 11:31 AM

My wife doesn't mind... because I divorced her in 2002. Anyway, domaining is ten times more exciting than she ever was lol

As for mobis, I've also got a couple of pages of decent ones I'd love to register.

LOL I can't imagine what that would cost me

, but I have a feeling that mine would become a "domain expert" very quickly. Can you say.....HALF?

Off to reg a few of her suggestions, just so she thinks I value her opinion.

jeremyp · 04-23-2007, 11:54 AM

Interesting strategy, Jeff.

I do believe I've finally figured you out.
