.mobi mTLD says: “Sedo Auction - Third and Final Round!” &"last online auction for a while"

[Mobi Cheap]

Not breaking news, the above headline is just in case anyone hasn’t seen mTLD’s official blog post.

Already posted the link and commentary in my other thread (the one that turned out surprisingly analytical) here:

http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/393711-sedo-3-100-more-mtld-premiums.html#post2354750

To keep the above thread focused on the issues being discussed, I’ll try to post here periodic updates as more and more domains exceed their reserve prices.

'Running commentary' posts are welcome here from anyone, preferably free of foul language

This is the '1k and above reserve-met' list (hence there are many more bids than shown here) two hours before the scheduled regular end time for all premium auctions - prices as at 2PM EST:

I think at least three of them will hit the 100000 mark. Games, music and then at least one of sports, videos, and movies...

Dear Santa, please bid on games dot mobi for me.

They're getting out of my league, but it makes a nice Christmas list.

Santa seems to have found some extra room in this year's budget.

It seems it's high time for a break now.

IMHO the first weekend in December is not the time to expect major domain auction developments, even when it's .mobi we're talking about

[Mobi Cheap]

games.mobi = $101k at the moment, matching hosting.mobi as the highest sale in the earlier Sedo auctions.

How about at least making an effort to manage expectations downward?

Thank you Gov!

Our interests diverge on the 'stay low' front (only because I'm utterly spent out but I totally agree regarding music.mobi.

Music.mobi should be at least as valuable as games.mobi, but the domain market of course keeps proving every week it's simply unpredictable.

music will deffiantly go 100k+ its a great name...

 

[MobiMaven]

Meh.

Just kidding, that's some pretty impressive bidding so many hours before the real action usually starts.

Yep, if the bidding patterns for the first two auctions repeat themselves here, we could be looking at $300K for games...

MM

 

[Mobi Cheap]

I must admit I don't quite understand the focus on games.mobi when music.mobi is much cheaper; could there be multiple end users trying to test each other's limits before the final stage?

And now we have a new bidder:

Bidder 16 142,500 USD

I guess the more the merrier.

 

[accent]

Bidding has all but stalled for the last two days.

Probably will stay pretty steady until near the end. It doesn't matter how many bids you make, only that you are the last.

Can you see the offices in the many world-wide timezones preparing for the final shoot-out? Nervous fingers on keyboards. Decisions of maximum bids carefully made, only to be thrown away as it becomes evident that the hated competetion is ready to pay more. Panic as bids seem to take forever to be posted.

The future direction of the company hangs in the balance, what matters a few more thousand?

But the other guys see the same opportuntity and are bidding even more. Critical decisions with only minutes to ponder -- and before an answer can be considered yet another bidder has pushed the price yet higher.......

Naw, I don't feel sorry for those guys, I could happily live the rest of my life on what they make in a year, if not a month.
