    .Mobi bubble burst? or at least had a correction?

    With the way .mobi sales are shaping up in the live auction is it fair to say values are far lower than anyone would have thought?

    realestate.mobi $85,000
    casinos.mobi $52,000
    pizza.mobi $21,000
    directions.mobi $19,000
    cam.mobi $10,500
    models.mobi $7,500
    eat.mobi $6,700

    Not even the King of domains could stop the leaky bubble...
    Somebody 's frank comments had "Schilling" effects in the .mobi auction...

    I thought realestate.mobi would do better but all the names fell in line with what i thought would happen considering everything. Not a bad showing at all.

    FreeCameras.com was a steal.

    It really is a top keyword, the price sounds about right to me.

    Doesnt even seem like there has been enough time for a bubble to form yet.
    Your domains are never completely worthless. They can always be used as a bad example.

    Based on the previous auction prices and the general attitude towards .mobi seen on the forums the prices all seem lower than I'd have expected if it were on an upward trajectory.

    Maybe people had higher expectations of promotion and penetration between the last auction and now and have cooled off a little to see how the end user market itself rather than just speculators run with it.

    prices to high

    in my opinion, buying a .mobi would be like buying a peice of realestate in the middle of the mid west hoping someday that google is going to building a data center out there and your house will go up in value with all the people coming to work there.

    it does happen (in fact it did), but who in thier right mind would buy when there are better investments available.

    i still dont get this. i got the landrush where people ponied up reg fees, but this early speculation, i just dont get.

    im in franks camp on this one.

    pizza.mobi $21,000
    If I'm a big pizza chain, like Dominos I would take that $21K and just pass it along to my franchisees, and/or charge them a fee for some sort of ordering system or promotion structured around it. To me it's a steal... but what do I know.

    We're a ruthless bunch.

    All the forum comments had to have had an impact.

    Although I still wonder about cause and effect "chicken and egg" issues sometimes ....... But the one cause and effect issue I'm sure of is this group has a nasty ratcheting mechanism on any negative news.
