You know, it's only the last sentence that we have a problem with. No one thought you wouldn't make money with keywords. But you telling us definitively that you will make more in the future...well that's a problem. You are relating the sales success of some keywords to the success of the tld in the future. I don't think the two are interlinked.
Things are developing daily & it's great fun if you are involved with it.
Frankly i couldn't give a monkey's uncle if anyone has a problem with our 'positivity' & optimism for the future.
This is the story we are discussing: :smilewinkgrin:
Stocks.mobi and Girls.mobi changed hands in a private deal for $ 119,000 - sales make .mobi market boom again

After the $ 300,000+ sales from last week at the TRAFFIC conference, dotmobiz.com has the honour to announce two very strong and interesting dotmobi sales: Stocks.mobi and Girls.mobi changed hands in a private deal for $ 119,000!
Dotmobiz.com spoke to the buyer, Paul Chmiel from Houston â Texas:
âI, as many, feel dotmobi has a very promising future. I see the mobile web changing our lives in the future and the way we do businessâ, Chmiel says. For that reason he acquired more dotmobi domains in the past few months. A few of them are DOC.mobi and Africa.mobi, which were acquired via private deals. He also did some business with Jeremy Padawer, by acquiring Cancun.mobi and Military.mobi. Via Sedo.com, Chmiel purchased
Invest.mobi,
Pink.mobi and
Dish.mobi.
The seller of Stocks.mobi and Girls.mobi, Hennie Groot Lipman from The Netherlands, has a profitable
domaining track record.
âAfter owing the best dotinfo portfolio of the world, I had the goal of putting together the most valuable dotmobi portfolio.â He said to dotmobiz.com.
âI am very happy with this deal, I covered my total .mobi investments and made a nice profit too.â
With .mobi domains like
Pay.mobi, PrePay.mobi, 555.mobi, 666.mobi, MMM.mobi and 350 other quality dotmobis the future is looking bright for this experienced domainer.
The Stocks.mobi and Girls.mobi deals were completed last week. Chmiel contacted Groot Lipman by e-mail.
Groot Lipman initially submitted Stocks.mobi to the TRAFFIC auction with a $ 60,000 reserved price. However, due to a reason unknown, it was not in Monikerâs final auction list. A pity for Moniker -
Escrow.com got the âhonourâ of completing the transaction.
Paul Chmiel about his purchases:
âI acquired Girls.mobi because of its extremely high overture of two million, moreover, this plural version is better than the mTLD reserved singular version.â The sale price was $ 49,000.
Having to put in words why he bought Stocks.mobi was âhardâ for Chmiel:
âI purchased it becauseâ¦, becauseâ¦, well because it's STOCKS.mobi!! In my view it is a top 10 name for mobile surfing. When people start surfing the web on their phone, they think weather, news, sports, and stocks.â Chmiel continues:
âIt too has a high overture, a high PPC and goes well with my first love, Invest.mobi, which is almost developed and will be a very nice site.â The agreed price for Stocks.mobi was $ 70,000.
The last thing Chmiel wanted to share with us was:
âI feel Stocks.mobi to be a $ XXX,XXX name and much higher in a few years.â Dotmobiz cannot agree moreâ¦
For those that maybe just finding this thread.
It is another part in the .mobi success story.
