I'd like to say heard it here first, but credit where credit due.

That Sherlock Holmes 'Scandiman' (he also doubles up as a Viking BeerMonster) broke the story on <removed>

Insurance.com bought Insurance.mobi
Heres the link:

A quote:

"insurance.mobi was purchased by Insurance.com, an independent, online insurance agency which enables consumers to instantly compare and buy competitive auto insurance quotes directly from more than a dozen leading insurance companies. "We see the long-term value of the mobile internet," said Joe Singleton, Director of Information Technology, Insurance.com. "The .mobi domain will be a valuable tool in continuing to build our future consumer offerings."

Rep greedily snaffled :sold:

Forget prices, forget everything. This is about the best news since BofA.mobi. ENDUSERS buying .mobi domains - if that's where this is going none of us has anything to worry about.

That's pretty much how i read it.

Basically this is the best news possible for this domain & mobi so far.

I mean imagine if some rich kid bought this to sit on anfd throw up a basic site, it wouldnt help a deal.
It would be a live site yes, it would have been bought and gone down as a tidy sale, but i would rather it went to insurance.com for half what someone else may have paid.
Interestingly enough, who knows what it could have climbed to if another bigboy had been in the house? Theres literally hundreds of them in this field. More.

Also like i pointed out other day, domains like this this will probably never come back onto market.
Its like bofa getting hold of bank.com back in '87 or something, rather than getting passed round like a lot of the big coms still are.

I actually anticipate a few more news results like this for some of the other names.
I'm guessing the next auction could be even more hot, because of more investors and endusers getting involved and realising this maybe their only chance to nail the name. :imho:

Where's Scandi when I need a Hammer. Head. Nail pic :tu:

Can't do hammer and nail.
Can do this though:

Garrett (a.k.a Polarbear) makes great incisive posts, however heard from other mods he likes to sleep on the job :hehe:

If so, which mod is on the left with the handbag? lol

Yakshemash!

What's this "so happy" business, Mr B? Aren't you supposed to be limited to "Niiiiice!" (sorry can't do the voice).

Plus, IMHO 'happy' and all variations thereof (including but not limited to 'deliriously happy') should be reserved for Jeff :yell:

 

[Pred]

Sorry need you to look at pic again.

Jeff will be happy.

I've got my turd coloured spectacles on. :hehe:

Yeah, I thought he is switching his entire persona to Borat and thought hopefully he's not doing that to stop being politically incorrect ...
