OK.
Just kidding.

But seriously, .mobi made a decent showing today.

Is this good news for .mobi or
is this just a bunch of idiots bidding on worthless names?

YES YES, I was a purchaser from today's auction
and I do own JOKES.mobi still from the first
"mega screw up auction"

Your thoughts?
Anyone pick anything good up?

Is .mobi making a comeback?

i have faith .mobi will make a full recovery and win the yellow jersey but currently it has testicular cancer imho

sorry, my warped sense of humour again.
im not sure it was a strong show, but once again a poorly worked out auction, mtld and sedo to blame. very little cash around and most of the investors & developers at this stage have more than enough names to be getting on with so there were never gonna be many/any big sales.

tbh i dont even know the results. i saw a few really low priced sales

be prepared to hold , develop and see what happens. tbh auctions aren't really what matters. things like mowser and sites adopting mobi every day are what get my juices going

.mobi has no where to go but up from here. The more sites we see the better.

I would realy like to see more applications using the .mobi name.

I do think this was a good showing considering the financial picture right now.

I bid on a few and ened up with racing . I am happy that i got it for what I did and look forward to getting it developed. :tu:

Wow, I didn't think it would go that cheap ($850). I wanted it just for the Racing keyword. There are a lot of tech-savvy racing fans -- there may be a market for a name like this. :)

great name
i bid 800 as the second bidder and it was still under reserve by a mile, then they changed the rules midway thru auction and decided i didnt want to be a part of the auction.
im sure sedo broke their own tos on this but prob my loss. congrats

Mobi is hurting, yes, however the losses are comparable to other speculative domaining segments such as LLLL.com. Many domainers who invested in brandables or multi-keyword trafficless domains in any extension are having a great deal of difficulty finding buyers at this time.. Thankfully there is some liquidity left in this market, as evidenced by this most recent auction.

I bought LLLL.mobi on Afternic last night for $300 -- thought it would go higher, maybe everyone was preoccupied with the Sedo auction. I'm through speculating and am developing everything I buy from here on out until there's a sign of recovery in the domain name market.

I think many of us are saying the same thing right now :)

I think so, values look to be down around 90% for the .mobi auction, disageee with the people calling this a decent showing.

Agree, look for genuine revenue from outside sources, domain flipping is an easy way to lose money in the current market.

I got Message.mobi for under $1000

Message and "mobile" really go together.

Compared to some that went for $1500-$3000
I think mine has a good mobile application.

My approach to .mobi right now is, hold for 5 years, see what happens.
