Shortly after I reg'd 123.mp the registry self reserved every single possible number since they correspond to alphanumeric words on a phone keypad, for those who don't know about .mp they are $300/yr (if you want to be able to forward it anywhere or use it for profit) Mostly fortune 500 companies planning on offering web content via a mobile phone platform reg'd all the good ones, the names give you a seamless hosting program which allow all formats to coexist to wireless phones for viewing/usage coding and decoding...needless to say you can't even get 285284194091874091740.mp now and I do not believe anyone else in the entire world has ANY ###.mp domain, they werent gonna even let me keep it....but I have it.
And considering it is the FIRST possible consecutive number and the shortest possible number of only 1000 possible (if you could get any) that I got 30 seconds before ALL others got taken forever by the registry...I was just wondering what you think it's worth...since its basically the only one of the net.

It was part of a deal with .mp, I can't talk about it beyond that due to a non disclosure agreement, but let's just say it worked out well.

Appraisal Values on any please?

$30,000 is a hell of an investment for 10 names in an extension that is currently practically unknown – I sure do hope it works out for you.

At $300 per year .mp is going to attract very little attention from resellers.

wow...someone is smoking crack here. 30k would have been much smarter if it was invested in a high risk tech stock, at least it would have a fighting chance of making money.

I guess some companys would think .mp(mobile phones) Sound like a good idea or just want to protect the copyright like google and microsoft.

my total investment was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY less, I got a special deal, I can't discuss the details...let me just say there are big plans for .mp and the future of this content form on cellphones and their proprietary platform that works across all phones and with all types of sites is going to be used by all the big boys, I would never spend 30k on anything! lol, but thanks for the valuation on forums.mp so far...anyone else?

Im pretty sure that REALTOR is a trademark, and therefore the company whose mark it is can WIPO you any time of the day or night.

Other than that, .mp is a load of crap that will never amount to anything. If you get more xxx offers, i recommend you take them immediately. Five figure offers are a wet pipe dream.

wow, thanks for the postivity....if you could please limit your responses to actual appraisals that would be great, is this how we act here?

Realtor is a generic term last time I checked! maybe a company has thier BRAND trademarked but they don't own the dictionary! lol....otherwise millions of "realtors" worldwide are facing a big bad lawsuit...lmao so funny, everyone is a lawyer nowadays since they get a few domains taken away.

check out www.dot.mp if you need info

any more appraisals? If you dont have the $ for a .mp it's ok, you dont have to register any! I just want to know what values you attach to these based on the market, name, etc..thanks and peace and love DNF!

.mp is possibly the worst CCTLD I have ever come across

That is why these names are worthless to resellers, if you got offers of $xxx you should have taken them.

I know am being harsh, but that's how I feel and I'm not going to sugarcoat it

I'll restate what someone else said. Unless the .mp extension somehow gains popularity, I doubt these domains will have much of a resale value. Unless someone just wants to collect them because they like them, I dont see these being worth much.

for the package, now, reseller low $XX (for the package) because it is practically unknown, and the renewal rates outrageous.
in the future, possible value $0 when .MOBI comes out, which is what 'mp' companies will be using...
.mp is a country code, NOT mobile phones. .mobi is for that
