Holy cow! Why couldn't I have found and grabbed a name like this?! Was this a pre-ordered .mobi?

I've been wondering the same thing -- when did you pick this one up, Think?

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, you should feel flattered: I couldn't help but try to find the closest thing to "laptops.mobi" (as I'm sure many are doing), so I've registered "lap-tops.mobi" and "pclaptops.mobi" -- not that I think for a second they'll do nearly as well as yours, though! :lol:

"Life-changing" indeed! :lala:

Congratulations Think! You do have great courage and great trust in the free market system. Think, would you be offended if I were to put a $100 reserve on LaptopMemory.mobi at Afternic? You have inspired my confidence. I am not expecting $30k plus, but I believe it has value.

I regret to inform NamePro members that the sale did not go through. The buyer did not come through with the funds.

Luckily I did not count on the sale in relation to my finances.

I will not be re-auctioning the domain.

Thank you for your interest and support.

Wow Think, that sucks bad :td:

This name should still sell very very well. I'd put it right back up myself starting at $10,000

Interesting. Though I wish you the best and had hoped the sale had gone thru so you could cash out... I think you're making a smart move by not re-auctioning it. You received far more than $30K in PR, links (current & future), mentions, etc... I can't wait to see what you have in store for it.

As always, good luck. Perhaps there are larger offers just around the corner.

Sorry to hear the funds didn't come through.

Very interesting and I wish you the best of luck with your future sale or development.

Of particular interest to me, as I have eLaptop.mobi, on SEDO.

 

[hawkeye]

Sorry to hear that think. Some 'rookie' bidder I'm sure. GL to you on the next go.

 

[yoyosean]

That is very lame. The buyer didnt happen to be from Belgium did he? If so same guy didnt pay me on a $x,xxx sell.

 

[BocaVision]

Sorry to hear that scum bag buyer didn't pay up.

Nevertheless, Laptops.mobi should command a higher value this year.

Did the Gamble.mobi transaction finally close?

Hope this buyer is banned and thrown off Afternic?! :td:

 

[mejcdj]

What a let-down.

But the positive side is.. LOOK at all the chit-chat that auction has caused. Maybe when you do decide to put it up for sale again, they will remember that bid-frenzy at the end and bid early.


We can hope.

 

[zehrila]

I bet you need nerves to see the last moments of auction and so bad it ended up as scam buyer

 

[GeoOwners]

well sorry to hear it Think...but we all agreed here it's a hellava name and you still have this gem in your account...if the second place bidder hangs here maybe they will contact you anyway...dont let it get you down...wish I owned it
