by domisfera (.mobi, Auctions)

22 November 2008 Estimated reading time: 2,32 minutes.

The recent auction of .mobi premium domains conducted by Sedo had surprises again. The first was the change of reserve prices during the auction.

The second surprise (not for all) were the prices achieved by the 124 .mobi domains, sold by 206,379$ (a little more than what was paid by flowers.mobi) with an average 1,664$ per domain. The 10 most expensive domains were:

Domain Winner bid
games.mobi 44.000 $
bank.mobi 11.500 $
vip.mobi 10.099 $
internet.mobi 9.901 $
blackjack.mobi 9.700 $
sexe.mobi 9.253 $
quotes.mobi 5.333 $
media.mobi 5.099 $
funds.mobi 4.900 $
shoes.mobi 4.600 $

These results are very different from those obtained in the previous auction of .mobi premium domains where the  10 most expensive were:

Domain Price Reserve Bids
music.mobi 616.000 $ reached 88
games.mobi 401.500 $ reached 100
sports.mobi 101.000 $ reached 33
movies.mobi 82.000 $ reached 53
game.mobi 61.000 $ reached 76
juegos.mobi 61.000 $ reached 73
photos.mobi 51.000 $ reached 37
videos.mobi 51.000 $ reached 45
sport.mobi 51.000 $ reached 51
job.mobi 43.600 $ reached 38

The domain games.mobi which began its journey last year (in December), appears to have finished his odyssey, 11 months after it was awarded by a fraction (a 10.95%) of the price initially reached.

Below are two lists containing the full results of the auction conducted by Sedo, from 5 to November 12, 2008. They are ordered alphabetically. The first corresponds to the domains that reached the (dynamic) reserve price and the second contains those that not achieved it:

domisfera The last act of the disastrous .mobi premium domain auctions conducted by Sedo
by domisfera (.mobi, Auctions)

2 June 2008 Estimated reading time: 4,33 minutes.

On February 7, 2008 dotMobi reported that he had contacted all the winners of the disastrous auctions conducted by Sedo December last year. According to dotMobi of more than 70 involved less than 10 rejected the proposal for allocation of premium domains.

By having the majority support of the community affected, dotMobi went ahead with this proposal which was basically to be paid the highest price reached by domains (in the original auction or extensions thereof) or nothing (domains would stay in dotMobi).

On February 13, 2008, Caroline Greer of dotMobi has clarified in relation to the question made by Domisfera that "As regards publishing a list of domains and final prices arising from the December auction / settlement, this is not something that dotMobi has done in the past and there are no plans to do so."

It has been more than 5 months after the conclusion of the auction and 3 after dotMobi began the allocation process. It is time to know what happened to these premium domains.
