.MOBI crashes Sedo... WOW!

[Gerry]

I'm sitting back again

thanks.

Chicken.

You bring up some good points.

Stock market (I've been in...lost, in again...won).

Real Estate (Never lost...made tremendous ROI).

Education (Never lost).

Domains (On annual basis, never lost)

Fine Art (never lost)

Antiques (never lost)

If you risk all, then all is at risk.

So why risk all?

Aron, I know what you are capable of and doing and making. We've been communicating for a couple or three years now long before I ever joined a forum.

We've been passing back ideas and posing questions and what if scenarios.

It is all about education, monitoring markets, trends, and making informed decisions. We both know that.

Just like many on this forum and other places, we don't show our hand to everyone. But it is still education and researching and making informed decisions. It is a never ending process.

To approach something blindly, whether for or against, is very high risk.

I have all the confidence that you made a wise decision and purchase. Whether you are the end user or not.

Rock on!

SHHHH

I'm trying to be seen as an innocent bystander

Ah, I'm kidding.

I appreciate the kind words and it's been great
communicating ideas back and forth over the last few years.


It is true that we don't show our hand very often...

I just don't jump into many discussions.


I am happy to see so many smart people here though...

We have some "thinkers" here on both sides of this issue...

It just shows that this forum is definitely full of
entrepreneurial and forward thinking people!

Some are going beyond their life savings with credit cards thanks to domainer .mobi hype.

the SAME applies for DOMAIN hype in general.... and you know this.

why you single mobi out is beyond me..................

Tend to agree here no matter what side of the fence you are on.

Record setting domain registrations post Hurricane Katrina only to be shattered by new records post Virginia Tech shootings.

Everyone is in to make a quick buck.

Not me. Long term.

And look how many rss feeds on domains are being pumped onto this forum from countless sources. If it is in the news, if it is making money, then everyone wants in. And it is certainly in the news with record sales and stories in print or on the internet from sources like forbes, wsj. And each time it is subsequently picked up and put out there to the point of market penatration.

So it is not a mobi thing. I look at TDNAM, Snap, sedo sales all the time and say WTF?

.mobi fanatics seem to prey exclusively on the uninformed, uninitiated and gullible.

doesn't almost every ad on TV apply this rule???

Yes, look at me, look at what I am selling, I am hawking my mobi wares.

And Fearless bought what? no, not uniformed, not uninitiated, and certainly not gullible.

I'm doing a scientific study on .mobi. Hence my iphones.mobi purchase. My findings thus far don't look good for .mobi.

Develop it and help the community

Don't wait for others to help you

Go about your business and stop trying to make us .mobi investors look stupid.

Calling yourself a .mobi investor is enough to make yourself look stupid. I don't have to do anything.

I disagree.

uniformed, uninitiated.... that sounds like ME 15 months ago.

i was/am still a domain n00b and i did fine with mobi. if your point is that more people are going to lose then win with this mobi "thing", then i agree.. but that is stating the obvious for any speculative niche.

so i am both a self proclaimed domain n00b and mobi fanatic that did not lose money with mobi.

oh, and i did indeed go beyond my life savings with credit cards several times buying mobi... and came out ahead. credit cards are a tool if used properly..

i know, i know: good for me.

 

[jasdon11]

dude, from the looks of it, you're the follower - following the hype. And I wouldn't recommend that you get personal with your attacks. We don't want that here. Can leave ugly messes.

Attacks???? Personal???? WTF are you reading????

I must've hit a nerve 'cos if you're reading 'personal' into anything I've written....

I actually do a good line in personal, but not here; not in a joke thread like this sunshine.

if your point is that more people are going to lose then win with this mobi "thing", then i agree.. but that is stating the obvious for any speculative niche.

I agree that people will lose money on .mobi if they don't know what they are doing...

The same thing has happened when dealing with .coms and will continue to happen

 

[mjnels]

I agree that people will lose money on .mobi if they don't know what they are doing...but don't tell me the same thing hasn't or can't happen when dealing with .coms!
.com was a niche (although huge) market...just look how that turned out.

i wont tell you or anyone else that.

i agree with you.. in fact i made the same point just a few posts ago.

Sorry, mjnels...that was for Fearless :lol: (edited)

God I'd love the WSJ to pick up the recent .mobi story


Also, if I own just ONE .mobi, does that make me a fanatic ?


DEVELOPMENT is what will help take this extension forward...

Everyone that has good .mobis, can do everyone a favor and
make useful websites with them...

This will help show the true worth of the name.

I totally agree with sitting on names and waiting for "payday"
NO PROBLEM with that,

but you can help the extension along by development of the big names.

I'll certainly be developing mine shortly...

Aw Doc, I wrote a long reply to your post but then deleted it. I keep asking the same questions, you keep giving the same replies. Neither of us understand each other. I don't get your answers, and you don't get my questions. Whats the point?


Look. I personally wouldn't want anyone to lose money on any extension, whether its .mobi, .com, .us, .tv, blah blah blah. Seeing someone broke doesn't make me happy. Neither am I going to decide the fate of .mobi. And neither are you.


Infact, if I look at it very pragmatically, its actually better for the likes of me that people are investing in .com. It'll not only mean less competition for me, it'll also push .com prices further.

So good luck with your .mobi names. When you make a big sale, I'll be there to congratulate you.


And someone please don't post a nasty ass wisecrack to this post. I'll be forced to answer back :-#:

 

[Gerry]

No need to make a long reply.

My reply will be the same thing over and over to the same questions or type of questions over and over again.
