How do you think about Invest.mobi's finial price?

[scandiman]

Thanks for clearing up that you have no idea who bought College.st off of you. Thank you for also clearing up that the name that you said sold in the quickest time was never sold (Flore.st). You never bothered to update the sales thread or even try to sell it again.

Now you are saying that you aren't involved in LoveTheName.com, when the DN Journal article said that is where you were from.

Congrats on being the best. Who is this third party broker of .st names that pulled off this wonderful sale of college.st? They must be pretty good.

Why did the buyer point the name to the .St sales registry for months? After all, that is where your Flore.st name is pointed to right now.

Did you have a straight face as you were typing this? If the College.st transaction was an arms-length transaction then I will never post again. Just tell us who owns the darn thing, because the initial Whois info listed a person who does not even offially exist as far as I know. She didn't even have an email address, but she was smart enough to pay $11,750 for College.st and then point it to the .St registry until I brought it up. Just show me that it was a legitimate sale and I will go away forever.

Like I said before, there is no amount of evidence that would be considered adequate for someone consumed with conspiracies.

The actual wording of the DNJournal is:

"The surprise of the week has to be the first appearance on the all extension chart of a country code domain from little known Sao Tome and Principe. #5 College.st earned seller Bill Roy $11,750 in a deal brokered by LoveTheName.com. "

Where does that say that I am from 'LoveTheName.com'?

You really, and I do mean really, need professional help.


All Mods, please end this now, it is not only my business that has and is suffering but it is also the good standing of this whole Forum. I have put up with more than I think many here would have from this banned member.

Please, please tell me you aren't serious about not being associated with LoveTheName.com. Are you saying that you have never had an affiliation? You are truly the best. Here's an article that you were pumping a while back.

here Billbo is touting the article on this forum.

And here is the article. What a shame.

http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2006/07/31/story9.html?page=2&b=1154318400^1321584


here is an exerpt from the article.

LoveTheName also holds the rights to "autopartsandservice.com," "bible-lovers.com" and "thebaddestdude.com."

Roy isn't sure who would want to buy the domain "colorado.st," but he said it makes sense for a media company to purchase the name and use it as a portal for all the state's news. A "pure entrepreneur" also might want to buy the name and hold it because "it undoubtedly will increase in value," he said.

Thabiti said name "colorado.st" and "ewall.st" won't necessarily go to the highest bidders, but someone who intends to use the names responsibly.

"This isn't just about who has the most to bid," he said. "We want to know who you are and what you intend to do with the name."

You have put up with enough Billbo. And the arguements are flimsy.

It is very possible that someone in Venice might use Los Angeles on their whois. Or it's possible that someone technically in Los Angeles might say they live in Venice. Iggy's not the only guy here who has lived 5 minutes from Venice. I have as well, when I made less money. It's very possible the buyer didn't have an immediate use for the domain and the broker was more than happy to keep it pointed where it was. That only leaves leg #3 of Iggy's arguement "You didn't prove it to me". Well, it was verified by DNJournal. Iggy doesn't need to verify it himself. He needs to back away from his claims and Acnowledge that he has very likely been hounding an innocent man. He is the only one who doesn't believe that at this point.

Iggy won't be satisfied with any amount of evidence, no matter what he says. Billbo provided an olive branch by suggesting Adam to act as intermediary for evidence review and Iggy ignored it. Even if Iggy saw the evidence he is asking for he would then demand full access to all of Billbo's financial records to "prove" that the transaction was a sham and the money was returned via another transaction. If he found another transaction anywhere close to $11,000 to a third party he would demand access to their financial records to "prove" that this third party was a go between with the original purchaser.

There is no way to satisfy Iggy's lust for proof. It just needs to end. There is a place where a hunch becomes slander and that line was crossed a very long time ago.

Today is the first time I have considered giving up my membership and moving my postings to NP or DS.

DNF has reached a new low with this thread.

Iggy perhaps in your next name change you will consider the name "BiPolar"

It is apparent that nobody cares that Billbo performed a hoax with the College.st transaction, using Ron Jackson and Escrow.com as his tools.

Shame on you for not giving a crap about it. You will suffer in the long run. He is on to dotmobi now, so keep your eyes out for him.

At any time, anyone is free to provide information that validates the College.st transaction. By simply raising the question last year I got banned.

Please flush the toilet and get rid of frauds like this. You are enabling this. Have you not read his threads?

Ha Ha....he might just pull a scam on you. If you say something about it then you might just get banned. It's best to be quiet so you can pull off the same scams with dotmobi sales.

If I am wrong about College.st I will disappear forever. Keep attacking me....it just makes you look bad because you are defending dishonest sales transactions that are designed to hype loser extentions.

 

[namestrands]

nobody cares about you Iggy, surely you can see that. Even if an issue did exist with that domain, you have no credibility whatsoever.

Take your own advice and shut up about it, no one cares. Get Over it.

The only thing that needs flushing is the bowl full of neural vomit you have contributed to this thread. From your first post you offer slanderous accusations and ridiculous comments regarding the original topic; the auction of the domain name Invest.mobi.

Namestrands, I have considered leaving the forum also. Not over this issue so much as the domination now by Newbies and the dotMobi fan club and their sometimes perverse logic ("you should be happy your name didn't sell", "dotmobi is rolling out slowly because big companies want to build it by keeping the announcements coming", etc). One guy in this thread wondered what planet I am from that I think invest.mobi will "only" sell for $10K. He sits on what is pretty much a pile of crap in any extension. I make far more from domaining as the average person makes from their full-time job. Pretty insulting for a noob to ask me what planet I'm from while he fondles his pile of domain trinkets.

But I have decided for now it's better to stand your ground than surrender it.

 

[Iggy]

Great news for dotmobi cheereladers. You can stop the pumping of marketdiva.mobi now.

It is far from a big deal when a member discovers fraud and then is subsequently banned for asking legitimate questions. One day it might happen to you...we'll see how you feel when it affects your livelihood.

The people who perpetrate the fraud should be banned; not the one's who discover it. As you can see today with the Marketiva.mobi scam, this type of thing is going on all of the time.

Pinky's Army is going down for the count.

66 posts, 11 days later hurricane iggy has blown himself out.
or should i say disappeared up his own arse :lol:
well done mods.
better late than never eh?

[namestrands]

I am sure he will be back soon as someone else, the good thing about iggy is that he is consistant, and his ego will give him away every time.

Now back to the topic at hand "invest.mobi" where were we on that?

 

[Bill Roy]

Invest.mobi, with just under 2 days to go I think it should end up between $30k and $40k, but who knows? Is the right people/businesses out there watching this. For those who can afford this and either develop it or sit on it the chances are the base line price (the price of the undeveloped domain name) will rise phenoominally above this in the next year or two.

(On a seperate note, thanks for the support from members, yesterday was really tough when it seemed nothing was being done about the 'Hurricane', colatoral damage obviously was incurred but that can be built up again. Many thanks to all.)

 

[Biggie]

Right.


2 minutes till closing auction is at $2,000.

20 minutes later its $32,900 a difference of 30k between only 2 people.


Would you pay $32,800 after the ONLY guy that outbid you backed out.
be careful with your answer..

just inquiring as a MEMBER.....

i think i read thru every post, trying to figure what's the deal here.

and the quoted post above, puzzled me as well.


i'm trying to understand from the post,why bid the name up to "30K" if you had no interest later?

why not stop at $10k? or did you get "caught up" in the frenzy

there are times, rare indeed, but at snapnames where a bidder did not pay for some reason, and I was offered the name, being the next high bidder.

in each case i accepted the domains!

however, they were not .mobi names.


for "invest.mobi" ...not worth 10K imo

i would rather buy "ten" nice LLL.org domains at $1K each !



someone said " .mobi only being re-sold to other resellers"
which i think is 99.9% accurate

so are we fueling the fire based on a big "IF"?

i don't see big companies spending money on the .mobi names from resellers, when they could take any tm related name in the extension or just get an unregistered name and brand it, especially when many .mobi names on the reseller market are highly overpriced.

the biggest hope, is the big "IF"!
If businesses BUILD on and USE the extension and thus EDUCATE the consumers about .mobi


if i owned "invest.mobi" i would have accepted the first bid at "$10K" without going to auction!

Good Luck!!

 

[Bill Roy]

Hi Bigg,

First, why not go to auction? On a Sedo auction an offer accepted and pushed through to auction is (still meant to be) binding on the buyer!

I do not know how this works when the top priced buyer doesn't pay, in the real world the price offered to the second highest bidder is normally argued by the second highest bidder as the highest price bid by the 2nd placed bidder before only the highest bidder and the 2nd highest bidder are the only two alternating bidders. I am not sure if this is how Sedo works on this particular issue. (It would be interesting to find this kind of information out though.)

We both know of auction fevor, many if not most people have suffered from it at some time. This may or may not be the case here. (As an aside, Sedo definately should ban the non-paying highest bidder.)

The reason I value the domain so highly is the end user potential in many countries. At a price tag of $30k -$40k this is well within many small to medium sized business' advertising and marketing budgets, and such a domain would give a 'niche advertising/marketing' stronghold to such companies in this particular marketplace.

Just my 2 cents worth.
