It's been my experience that there is a huge diversity of sale prices for .mobi names if you look on places like namebio.com. Some sell for the high x,xxx range, some for xx,xxx and some for $60 USD. Obviously this has to do with how much the seller thinks they're worth.
Initialy their cost was 30$/ 2 years . The fact that some guys sell good domain names with way lower prices than the respective domains may worth it is only their stupidity and incapacity to corectly evaluate it + in almost all those cases the fact that the respective sellers are very poor peoples wich think to few hundreds or thousands $ (sum wich they never had it in their life ) like to a very great amount of money. In those particular cases it is the luck of the buyer to meet such naive sellers and this fact does not represent at all that the respective domains do not worth more than the sellers demanded price . Eventualy all good domains will change ownership until it will be in hand of apropiate owners wich understand their true value and the Landrush phase will end then for real .
I will stress it again that there are some real good and proven opportunities wich are destined to be money makers and wich does not worth to loose the opportunity to have it if you are an investor looking for a great investment opportunity .
For example in my case : think to the huge potential wich let's say a domain like : -filmeporno.mobi (pornomovies) might have - near all men saw them or want to see it and what can be more easy than become a member on such a site pay it's symbolic low fee monthly membership and access a large colection of movies - let's say that if you set monthly membership fee to 1 euro/month you could of gain easily 100.000 members wich will make 100k euro monthly - pure gold mine ;
- cadouri.mobi (gifts) - might have also a tremendous ecommerce potential even more than normal internet site as it will be allways easy to buy a gift from your mobile phone for the one you loves in any situations wich require it .
- cumparaturi.mobi (shoppings) - what can be more easy and modern than browse from your mobile phone and do all shoppings you want from anywhere you are at the moment - tremendous again ecommerce potential and proffits for the investors willing to develop it ;
- credite.mobi (credits) - domain wich might have a huge value for any bank and those guys really have big money and will buy it for a great money when they will eventually understand it's value and will need to have it in their portfolio .
- plati.mobi (payments) - again very huge opportunities to set up an mobile payment system with great proffit opportunity to either keep it or sell it to bigger players after some time .
- informatii.mobi (informations) - huge traffic generator site if it will be developed with varios sensitive public informations wich peoples frequently need it .
- imprumuturi.mobi (loans) - posible futuristic service of getting a loan in the very moment you need more money directly from your mobile phone - again a huge importance for any bank .
- licitatii.mobi (auctions) - huge & futuristic opportunity to servey and participate to auctions from your mobile phone - auctioneers will definitely love it .
- hoteluri.mobi (hotels) - what any tourist might look first when arive in a foreign country ? a place where to sleep - a hotel - huge opportunity for a travel agent to buy it and bring lots of new custommers to him .
By the way I setted my BIN for all listed package to amazingly low amount of 200k euro . This will not in any way mean that the package do not worth more as I am very positive that this package might easily worth over 1 mil $ , it only means that I will consider enough this amount as my gain from the business .
