.mobi Apartment.mobi - Bought for $6000

[DomainTalker]

Just reporting that I won Apartment.mobi for $6000 at Sedo auction last night.


I feel its a solid price, in the current market - yet, I hope it'll turn out to be a terrific investment down the track.

Great name Chris! Congratulations on a solid purchase

I think 6k is a bargain for someone with sound development plans.

I keep hearing these arguments about .mobi and the iPhone... They really make me laugh. I remember bringing up UMPCs back in early 2007 and asking what members here thought about them making .mobi irrelevant -- the only thing they'll make irrelevant is the iPhone 5 years from now.

I invested in .mobi knowing full well that some "advanced future PDA" would render .mobi useless from a technical perspective but I still don't see anything on the market other than .mobi which could guarantee a mobile user an enjoyable mobile experience. If Mtld started releasing the premiums and enforcing what they promised to enforce, I'd really consider investing heavily in the extension as I really do see a future for it as a .com alternative if it's properly managed moving forward.

Congratulations Chris on your purchase! Definitely a sound investment.

While, at first it may seem that Hurley4540 made pretty much the same old arguments that any of the naysayers would do- I would like to congratulate Hurley on a tip, that may not be so obvious, which he included in his comment. BTW, Hurley I did REP++ you for the tip.

Chris,
You could add a personal opinions section or review section for apartments you list. Maybe some sort of feedback system not unlike eBay's which can provide a better picture of the apartments that are being listed.

I've bolded and underlined the tip below for clarity.

IMHO: There hasn't been good signs for dot mobi lately... like:

-Full internet browsing capable phones (the new iPhones)
-No "quick" option for dot mobi on the iphones
-A few other things

I think you paid too much for this long keyword unless you have some development plans. If someone is looking for apartments they would probably want to sit down and look through their opinions instead of trying to look on their phone.

'Appreciate your kind thoughts, DBADT2007, noonoo1 & texasgamer...

..Not a lot of .mobi buyers around just at the moment - so, its good that a few .mobi deals are being seen to be done, too...
