What value do you think this has?

Value? - Potentially low $xx,xxx (up with aol.mobi & jol.mobi etc) but that's end-user value and I'm guessing that there will be no end-users bidding.

Price? - In this auction I'm guessing it'll stay in the $3xx range but if there's a fight at the end it may hit $500 - $600.
It is an excellent LLL domain with a good future ahead of it!

i'd actually say the value is low-mid $xx,xxx,xxx,xxx... give or take a few dollars.

im usually pretty realistic when it comes to .mobi values/prices.. however i dont see this staying in the $300 range...theres already 6 bidders so i think it'll hit x,xxx and from there i am not really sure. but then again, i know something you guys dont. :o

I didn't see the first post and realize this was yoir domain.
It's at 410 now.
I also doubt it will stay there, too.

With the launch of idn mobis this month, I am sure that someone involved with that will have the $ to grab it. Which is why it is for sale-which is why mjnels knows something I don't:bingo:

 

[mjnels]

just 1 day remaining guys and gals.....

auction price has nearly doubled to $430 USD... make sure to place a bid early or be around towards the end of the auction if you have interest.

[mjnels]

about 13 hours until auction ends...

current bid: Still only $430 with 7 different bidders involved.

 

[John Slaney]

You are up to 470 now.
BTW. When does IDN mobi start?

 

[mjnels]

BTW. When does IDN mobi start?

here is a FAQ from the dotMOBI Registry: http://mtld.mobi/system/files/IDN+mobi+FAQs.pdf

it just says Summer 2009... so i would think very very soon.. probably within a few weeks.

 

[John Slaney]

Thanks.

I will probably be asleep when this ends, but it will be interesting to see the outcome.

Regardless, Good luck with the sale.

 

[mjnels]

alright... very very LAST CALL!

this auction ENDS IN 3 HOURS...


Current Bid still pretty darn low for what this domain represents... its at $480 USD with 9 different bidders involved... make sure to bid early or be around to snipe when its ending.

Sold at $490 - not good news for .mobi and their IDN rollout. Particularly with IDN going full blown mainstream next year.

I can't understand why someone from HuaRui, the company in China who is looking after this idn mobi launch, didn't try to get it, or, if the did, why they wouldn't be willing to go to 500. Also, if I was a domain registrarthat was going to selling idn mobis, I would be willing to shell out $500.

A miss on their part but likely a complete lack of confidence in .mobi being able to support IDN. I would be quite surprised if this one is a success.

IDN is still the territory of a very few although you will find it difficult to get any decent keywords in any of the major languages in either .com ot cctld even now.

China IDN is, and will be, idn.cn/idn.com and full acceptance is still a year or two away.

I only see IDN.mobi as a publicity stunt which will do nothing for .mobi but will enhance the value and perception of IDN per se.

HuaRui only provide the Wireless Keywords & .mobi Binding API for registrar, and they will not run registrar themself.

Thanks, that makes sense.
