Unless that same bidder wants to speculate on other .mobi's, roses.mobi shouldn't go for more than a few hundred bucks. If you had roses.com/net/org/.co.uk.. you can certainly sell it for more.

Rock- Um flowers.mobi went for 200k so that should answer your question. We relly won't know if .mobi pans out for at least 3 or so years, until then we get to have fun and speculate on the .mobi extensions.

Who the heck is gonna pay a nickel for such a stupid extension? They say it's backed by Google, yet I can't help but notice that Google now has autodetection on ots main .COM url and can sense if you are visiting from a cell phone. If it detects a cell visitor, it automatically gives the lite version of its page. Whoops. There goes the need for .mobi! Are they for real?

Why pay 6 figures when you still have to market the extension? Roses.com/.net/.org/.co.uk/ and almost any other extension you can think of is more popular. It seems to be some people late to the game are trying to buy some names in a useless extention and trying to market them as something amazing.. I am sure a few people will get caught. Roses.mobi should be worth about 700 bucks...maybe. LOL.. anyone paying for .mobi domain names a bit misguided. 100k for roses.mobi? Why pay 6 figures when you still have to market the extension?

Yes, there will still be some big sales but people will realize this domain won't realize its value for another 5 years or so. I suspect .mobi will cool down a bit.

Invest.mobi went for 22k on sedo.. Save.mobi 10k and some change. I have had numerous 5 figure offer for my names as of late. I believe the gambling/betting area on .mobi(s) will break some records later in the year. I am thinking roses.mobi will bloom to around 80k to 110k when the final bell rings.
