.mobi Best auction for Mobi?

TechSupport.mobi at Bido on April 20

Update: TechSupport.mobi is now listed as the April 20 aution at Bido.

I've been invited to auction a good mobi domain (TechSupport) at Bido, but I'm wondering if that's the best auction venue for it. Is there an auction where mobi domains seem to do better than in others? Should I stick with Bido (no reserve).

Your thoughts?

I think its taking chance, at present circumtances Auctions are not good for .mobi's. Better find a buyer yourself. Anyways Good Luck.

Too late, I'm afraid. I've turned down offers I should have taken, so it's my own fault if it goes for a low price. I'm sure opposing sides will have their own wishes about it...lol. I'm just curious, as it's like the ultimate appraisal, isn't it?

Yes, it's a good idea to get the word out. It will be easier once I know the exact date, but a little advance promo doesn't hurt.

TechSupport.mobi at Bido auction on April 20, 2009

TechSupport.mobi will be auctioned at Bido on April 20, 2009. 1 p.m. EST, 10 a.m. PST

The live auction is only for an hour, but I think pre-bids are allowed.

It's the first mobi at their auction. I don't know what to expect, but I'm hoping mobi supporters will show up and make a statement.

Here's my positive hype of the day: TechSupport.mobi has received some pretty good reviews at bido.com for it's upcoming auction this Monday 4/20/09.

Unfortunately, the winning bidder won't pay; nothing will happen to him, and now I'm stuck with the terrible Moniker contract I had to sign to list techsupport.mobi.

I'm very disappointed.

Who was the loser that didn't pay? What kind of terrible contract?

That's a shame, it's a nice name, over 10,000 searches per day. Put up a minisite with ads and away you go. It will pay for renewels I'm sure and get indexed.

neat.. so Bido is another service that allows non-paying buyers to roam free eh?

makes sense for them.. why suspend non-paying buyers when they have the potential to run the price up.

"Who was the loser that didn't pay? What kind of terrible contract?"

The user name was victornumber. I don't know more than that.

Moniker's contracts (which you must accept to sell at Bido) are notorious for their lop-sided terms giving them control and selling rights to your domain for months. To be fair, Jarred (Bido) has been very upfront and courteous about the non-paying bidder. I'll be talking to him about getting my domain back (it had to be transfered to them before the auction).

nowadays, more and more people have mobile, so .mobi has a bright future.
good luck
