But it's not reported on Moniker

I can confirm, I have the contracts here.
Also 555.mobi and rooms.mobi for $11,770 each.

These domains were originally listed at Moniker for the Traffic conference in New York, where they did not sell. As per contract, Moniker gets the exclusive rights for 3 months, so they also listed them at this next auction.
A bit to my own surprise, this second auction did better than the big one in New York.
All three sold at my reserve price, looks like there were some smart buyers here!

Nice!

p.s. I had a sale at the Affiliate Summit as well
and the TRAFFIC NY...
I have actually been having about 1 sale every 72hours or so for the past few weeks... it's a NICE bonus....

congrats on the seller for pay.mobi - and i was told .mobi is a flop LOL who is the flop now!

Please could you explain the rationale behind buying "pay" for that ammount? What kind of site woul be there? What would end users type it in for? Wouldn't' most m-commerce transactions have a link to pay within its own pages? Wouldn't a name like this have to compete against Visa, Google Checkout, Paypal, integrated my-own-bank payment systems, etc..?
It may be good to re-sell to other domainers, and it is nice that is short, but what is exactly the long term development value of this name?

ad sales to several pay services to have their website or contact details listed...

pay services - any type of service that transfers money... or loans money...
like the check into cash places... etc... you could have dozens of those companies listed - charging them an ad fee to be on pay.mobi

selling ad space is extremely lucrative - when you have a GREAT domain name...

Paying by TXT, email, and other wireless methods are becoming very popular. This was a good price IMO.
PayPal mobile

an upcoming mobile service will be sending money from one mobile device to another. Lets say your daughter is on vacation and ran out of money...you could send money from your account to hers lets say for a 2% fee...then she pays for a plane ticket swiping the phone. Imagine 2% of just 10 million every year!

Congrats hanogl, especially regarding pay.mobi (for which I was a bit jealous when you registered it)

All three sold at my reserve price, looks like there were some smart buyers here!

; good to know

 

[PVFARKAS]

nice sale. I really thought visa was going to swoop in and take pay at t-r-a-f-f-i-c... I liked that one the best out of all of the .mobis there.

 

[Jeff]

Congrats!

:hi:

Did another Usual Suspect™ domainer purchase it ... or will there be - if you know - actual development with unique and compelling content for mobile users? :yell: :talk:

Also, who purchased ... 555.mobi and rooms.mobi? :gl:
Thanks for the assist and insight.
-Jeff

 

[godolphin]

That really is good news

 

[Silhouette]

Did another Usual Suspect™ domainer purchase it ...

who? any hint... me so ignorant

congrats hanogl, nice job

 

[hanogl]

I don't know the buyers yet, the domains are in escrow.

 

[mkylut]

Did another Usual Suspect™ domainer purchase it ...

Usual Suspect™ domainer? Who? Kevin Spacey?

Just joking Jeff. Just wait till the escrow goes thru and you can whois the name (one of the solution) IMHO. Just be un peu patience my friend

 

[Jeff]

No worries.

No worries, sometimes I can lack a little patience ... also, since I've been up in the boonies in Maine on vacation, do we yet know the buyer(s) of Mortgages.mobi and Laptops.mobi from the last Traffic Show? As I posted here prior to vacation on July 7th, I'm curious as to whether they were both purchased by the same individual (domainer), and/or if there are development plans in the immediate future IMHO. :gl:

Appreciates, as always!
