Forest.com - reported for $110,721 :sold: PARKED IMHO :hehe:

Not even worth reading.

**DISCLAIMER** THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A WORST CASE SCENARIO -- SHOULD MTLD INTENTIONALLY MAKE MOST OF THESE PREMIUMS "DOMAINER PROPERTY". BECAUSE WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF THIS AT THIS TIME, THIS IS TO BE TAKEN AS PURELY CONJECTURE. LET US ALL HOPE MTLD IS AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES (ELUCIDATED BELOW) OF A "WORST CASE SCENARIO" SITUATION.

Should these 500 or whatever amount of names be released simultaneously... This poses potential serious problems in the .mobi aftermarket should these names all (or mostly all) go to domainers. And before you argue with that point, I've brought it up in the past and it's been agreed with by even those wearing their pink glasses...

Let's elucidate this so that even those with pink glasses so thick they can't see through can see the point I'm trying to make here...

500 names sold ~ to domainers. Domainer A, B, C, ..., X,Y,Z,..., AA, AB, AC,..., SD, SE, SF. Let's pretend those abbreviations represent the domainers in question. This is assuming mtld has more sense than they perhaps do and imposes a limit on the amount of names a person can own to 1 auctioned domain.

So...

Domainer A tries to sell Sex.mobi for $1 mm. Domainer B is the proud owner of Porn.mobi. He decides to undercut the owner of Sex.mobi and list his for sale at $900k. This kind of behavior continues because nobody is interested in paying such high prices for .mobis.

So... They keep undercutting each other until they get to just above the prices paid at auction for these names -- say, around 400k. BUT and it's a BIG one... The market has taken a turn for the worst as of late. With a dozen premium adult names all up for sale simultaneously and mtld promising another 500 names being released shortly therafter, domainers are trying to sell these names to endusers... badly. Supply keeps on going up and up as mtld floods the market with more and more premiums, determined to milk as much money out of the extension before the Bubble bursts. Domainers begin undercutting each other and even themselves (the irony!) in an attempt to get these names sold, even accepting losses over what they paid for them. The mobile web is rapidly gaining steam... but with so many names to choose from, endusers just can't make up their mind and decide to settle for the cheaper ones, or wait until the market reaches a trough or at least some degree of stability.

Those wearing pink glasses decide to get a stronger (thicker) prescription, because clearly everything happening on the outside is not registering on the inside. In the end, people point the finger at mtld like Reece said all along :yell:

Those who hyped up the extension and invested during the landrush make huge profits... Intelligently selling just before the peak rapidly takes a turn for the worst. Those who plan to develop their names will do well. The .mobi extension indexes well in Google. But those who came here in March, April,... with the idea that .mobi would make them rich for doing no work but just regging a few names... These are the big losers here. These are the ones who're going to pay the price for mtld's actions.

jeff, you're so transparent and too funny ... oh the anticipation to see what your next gripe or sticking point will be.

i'm thinking someone needs to start giving odds out.

Isn't it obvious, the font on the bofa.mobi poster was not bold enough. :hehe:

We're discussing .MOBI recent sales, and, more imprtantly, the .MOBI "ecosystem" ... in fact, "ecosystem" was used by mTLD and its importance having never been related as closely with any other extension (and its future) UNTIL .MOBI, IMHO. :blink:

See you later :yell:

See you later.

You two fellas are content (if not, joyous) with undeveloped .MOBI domain names that have been reported as sold ... and in a larger sense, the present status of the critical "ecosystem"?!? :blink:

Thanks for the clarification.

[Jeff]

money is money.

So just as long as your resales of your undeveloped .MOBI's are good, you're both happy and Rosey?

-Jeff

YES!

of course it is best to look at the big picture, and the imho ecosystem etc.. but at the very base level of things, undeveloped mobi's have resale value too..

and i hate to break this too everyone but: im in this for the money.


again, that doesnt mean i dont see the big picture... i just am not overreacting.. im watching

resales are as much a part of the so called 'ecosystem' as anything else, ie. new regs, development, etc..

hardly.

.com isn't what it is because of resales. Traffic is what drives real value...

 

[garrett200]

Traffic is what drives real value...

True, and based on the traffic my domains have been getting, their value is going up. I don't know about anyone else, but my traffic has literally doubled or tripled every month.

 

[namewaiter]

hardly.

totally not true, acclaimed sales such as business.com, engineering.org & forsalebyowner.com exposed a whole new group of people to domains and changed the landscape of domaining

think resale isn't a part of the housing, auto or stock markets (ecosystems)?

You'll always be special :lol: :imho:

Agreed though... We really don't need two threads for the same thing and it just might cause people to not be aware of certain sales that did occur.
