Guess the collective total:

meegwell · 09-26-2007, 07:40 PM

My guess is $500,009

Jeff - looks like its more like supply vs demand

sashas · 09-26-2007, 07:49 PM

collective total of what?

Mobi Cheap · 09-26-2007, 08:25 PM

Most people rightly or wrongly rely on their gut feel for such guesses, but if anyone ever feels the need to inform their opinion with stats, they can follow the hourly updates of the final total estimate (based purely on dumb arithmetic totals) here:

Not to play the skeptic here, but keep in mind that when Sedo says there's a reserve of XXXX, anyone can place a bid less than that "for the fun of it" with no risk whatsoever. I placed a couple such bids myself which are lower than the stated reserve just so I could track the auctions -- although I'd be happy to buy them at the prices I bid

Absolutely, that's why I put the bolded emphasis on the word 'not' :-)

sashas - collective total of the premium auction.

PVFARKAS · 09-26-2007, 10:21 PM

i placed some bids in the beginning too. to think at one point i was the high bidder for such names for a free rush. the reserves seem reasonable this time around, i think we are looking quite good this time around.

my prediction...

$500,010

Mobi Cheap · 09-26-2007, 10:22 PM

Sorry, wrong thread!

MobiMaven · 09-27-2007, 06:44 AM

Maybe on the high end, but I'll go with $1.5 million.

onassis · 09-27-2007, 07:23 AM

1.8 Million

meegwell · 09-27-2007, 07:50 AM

if reserve is not met it's $0 - slaes only.

Anyone can make a prediction about anything, think of it like boring vs. fun

Righto, I specifically said "more accurate" (and then you used the terms "more educted" or "(more) calculated" ... but that was my main point, so thank you very kindly for your confirmation of that, IMHO.

Hey Jeff do you have a prediction (just for fun of course) besides just saying prices will be low? What is low?

I only ever said that they, as a whole, likely will not meet lofty expectations of the majority of the .MOBI Rosey™ crowd, IMHO. Part of this is due to the fact that Sedo, in its infinite wisdom, decided to end all premium acutions at the same time!

See you soon.

meegwell · 09-27-2007, 09:59 AM

i confirmed with you in another thread that your supply far outweighing demand comment meant you expected low prices....not to mention that just technically speaking that is what you're saying by making supply/demand comments. So regardless, throw out a number....come on its just for fun....

Jeff, I do see 1 positive of ending them all at the same time -- besides lower prices of course! And that is... Domainers won't be able to try and snipe more than a handful of them, resulting in a better chance for everyone to grab a name or for domainers to have to pay top dollar in advance (re: more likely to develop) in order to secure the names they want.

All in all, ending them all at the same time may be a good thing imho

Keeping with the spirit of the thread, I'm going to say $725k as the collective total on names that meet their respective reserves.

Jeff · 09-27-2007, 10:19 AM

What is the wager?

I am willing to add 500 NP$'s (make that 750 NP$'s) to the "kitty", as well!

Remember, those that do not hit the "Reserve prices" and/or cannot be verified and validated as being SOLD and COMPLETED transfered (sorry, unfortunately this stuff still happens at Sedo!) ... obviously do not count!

Quite generous of you, thanks. Always a little more fun to play when there is something at stake.

P.S. ($0 +/- reg. fee * 100) looks like one of those equations from high school math class.

You're welcome, I will update here accordingly as folk's leave their humble predictions ... in doing some very quick math (please rely on your own numbers and logic, etc.), I've found that the total current bids is just under $75,000 for those that havemet their respective "Reserve prices", IMHO.
