.mobi Sold pokerlinks.mobi $80.00

[Broker]

No minimum fee (Normally $50.00) if the domain is parked with Sedo; only the flat 10% rate applies.

So sedo's policy says. Name sold for $80.00 and amount to be credited to me $30.00???????? Should be $70.00 right?

It is parked there, does this make sense?



Also, I've slashed my sale prices again in the marketplace, any name now $50.00. This is definitley the final price cut if anyone seen something they liked.


Thanks,
HasRob................

Yes, I have sold palestina(dot)mobi through SEDO, (not completed transfer as yet) It was hosted at my host with a redirect to sedoparking, SEDO are taking 10% commission.

Congratulations HasRob, and your reasoning is correct

Helluva "reality check" with .MOBI's, IMHO ... :yell:

$1,000 firm for sale today only. Get it while you can because I will hold out for $5,000 in a month or two. I need some funds

Payment via paypal reg'd at godaddy. Post sold to claim and sedo offer also accepted for anyone who needs a safer transaction even though I'm safe.

HasRob.......

Congratulations, however, on your Sedo sale ... and I agree that your reasoning is correct (proceeds to be $72.00, IMHO)! :gl:

Yes, confidence and funds both have dwindled.

$70, what was I thinking?

:?
How is this a "reality check" for .mobi? Did I miss something all these years? Is this the first domain that sold far less than the sellers original expectations? 95% of the .coms don't sell in TRAFFIC, is that a reality check for .com? No, it's a reality check for owners who have overvalued their own property for a given market at a given time.

Well considering PokerLink.mobi sold for over $4,000 and the first bid of $70.00 for my name was from the buyer of pokerlink.mobi (which is for sale again btw) it just may be a reality check in a way.

I believe I have some great brandable mobi's and I cant give them away. Say what you want, but I'm not seeing alot of love for mobi's "right now" here or elsewhere in sales reports. And meanwhile people are registering crappy hyphen domains and seeking advice on what to do with them development wise because they make no sense. I dont get it?

How is this a "reality check" for .mobi?

That's not what I said .. here is what I did say, "Helluva "reality check" with .MOBI's, IMHO." :yell:

However your, "it's a reality check for owners who have overvalued their own property for a given market at a given time" is correct, but owner's overvalued them here due mainly to all of the hype and irrational exuberance (in part, created by mTLD), IMHO.

And it is for these reasons that many here are not only continuing to question mTLD ... but also themselves for their earlier allegiance with these unrealistic and unsubstantiated .MOBI Hypers™, in my view.

mTLD has made a FORTUNE on hype here at Namepros ... and at other venues! :o
Meanwhile, many domainers will be left in the dust and .MOBI scrap heaps.

Thanks for listening. :imho:

Exactly Scandi ! Really, what reality check? Do the detractors mean the "reality" provided by themselves? The few trying to influence the many! And with faulty logical reasoning as well! Most of what I see lately is a few fear-mongerers attempting to instill doubt in mobi. Perhaps a round of colonics to remove mind-altering toxins should be in order for the negative and shallow thinking types who are demanding much, and lately, contributing not much more than a whole lot of thoughtless bitching!
:hehe:

Thoughtless bitching?

With a mere 141 posts, you may not have been present during the initial rounds of irrational and, at times, uncontrollable .MOBI Hype© ... but I see that you're destined - despite the obvious change of sentiment and facts with regard to aftermarket resales - not to learn from those earlier mistakes, IMHO.

Good Luck to you, friend ... you break my heart!

You sure have it out for .mobi and mtld, don't you.

I think the fine folks here at the .MOBI Forum™ deserve answers, IMHO. :gl: :talk:

Sorry to disagree with you on the point / quote above, I respect your thoughts and opinions ... and consider you to be a very knowledgeable proponent of the extension Scandi. Truly.

So tell me, why is HasRob only seeing a $30 return on this SEDO sale? What's the reason? Is the cut more then 10% on a .mobi.. or am I missing something..?

I'm getting old!

First off, Jeff, it is not everyone ALL the time. It just seems to me that lately there have been many such posts from more of an emotional and less of an educational thrust (like this one from me, haha). And please, do not make the mistake of assuming that lack of posts equal lack of observation or insight. I would expect more from you than that! Since mid- Nov., my team and I have been watching very closely the unveiling of mobi. Most need to be reminded that it is very early in the game and that it is way too early to write the epitaph. Am I pro-mobi? Absolutely! Are there things that concern me about the roll-out? Yes, of course, and I believe that they are being worked out. Is it too early to judge mobi with such seeming finality? YES !!! Am I not entitled to a rant or two from time to time as a counterbalance to such blatant, unfounded negativity? I DO feel better having said the things in my more recent posts! Jeff, I certainly did not wish to break your heart. As destiny can change, so also can hearts be healed.

It served only as a time / participation reference ... meaning that you likely missed much of the early, formulative HYPE here in the .MOBI Forum™, IMHO. I don't equate post count with levels of observation and/or insight. :gl:

As destiny can change, so also can hearts be healed.

Well done. God bless! :hearts:

See you soon.

Sounds like another SEDO screw up, one of the reasons I prefer not to do sales through them and expect problems when I do.

It just seems to me that lately there have been many such posts from more of an emotional and less of an educational thrust.

If you were referring to me, my reasoning for unloading my names is because I have certain thoughts on what may be (or not) successful in the future. Be it 2 months or 6 years, I see "currently" a better investment (just my opinion, and well some others also) coming to the front of the domaining world that "I believe" will have a much better and quicker payout and success rate then .mobi giving all the things I'm currently witnessing through technology, advertising, investments, sales, commercials promoting a certain ext on tv just about everyday here where I live, are certainly playing a huge roll in my decision.

Doesnt matter imho how many millions of people have cell phones, what matters to me is I believe in my observations of not only myself, but the everyday person out and about, how many of them are "browseing the internet" while out shopping, eating, driving around etc? Not a whole lot and I certainly dont either, I'm too busy doing other things. I browse at home on my pc. And in my God's honest opinion, here it comes peeps, I think by the time even 1/3 of your everyday person is browsing the web via cell phones or mini labtops or pocket pc's, whatever they will be, .mobi just may be useless as these devices will show .com's etc just fine.

I have'nt lost all faith in mobi nor am I selling all of them, just moving a few pawns out of the way (having a hard time even doing that as mentioned already) to better focus on my own game and only hoping to get as much as possible for my investments while I can. Nothing wrong with that and certainly not emotional ): as I have already made enough profit in my mobi sales to cover all my regs to date.

That all said, I just find it odd that my name only sold for $80.00 after recent similar keyword names sold for thousands. Certainly no premium, but W?T?F?

That imho is saying something about something. Your guess is as good as mine.

 

[cobo]

No, HasRob, I'm not referring to you, But I do like your post. I was actually shocked that you let this name go for that price! I think it is saying something like "Incredible Bad Luck!"
Don't forget, gambling is right around the corner! :lala:

 

[garrett200]

HasRob,

I think the sale was great for the buyer. Just curious, why did you let a name like that go for so cheap?
