    Interesting .mobi Ebay Auction

    It finished at a pretty reasonable price I think.

    Gives a little info and the market outside this forum and TRAFFIC.

    $560 for 17 names works out to only $32.95 each. The ones I checked were Registered at GoDaddy, so they cost $30 each to register. I guess that still leaves $50 profit minus ebay fees. It is nice to see that there were several different bidders though.

    True... but good enough to draw interest from several bidders. Did you see the bid history? 3 or 4 different bidders in the higher range. Good news for sure.

    Unfortunately that was not exactly the case.

    Two bidders there, vivekp84 and danmanmktng, had feedback of zero what raises questions if they were legitimate bidders or someone else with shill bidding.

    We have to be suspicious about everything theses days...

    not the best sale! 570$/17 domains= 32.9 $each!

    assuming that the seller have registered them at GoDaddy at 30.48 $ each, he luckily made approx 2.50$ per name which is total $42

    minus- ebay and paypal fees = ZERO Profit

    what is it so reasonable here ?

    Look at it this way, with no reserve he could have lost quite a bit.

    No... I think .mobi is just starting to explode. But in an auction with no reserve, he could have had a winning bid that didn't cover registration costs.
