Hello all looking for an appraisal for this one, ain't got an idea of what i could use it for but it's short and snappy and seems to be getting a few enquiries.
cheers for any view or comments in advance! Chris

Wow... That is pretty good! Basketball.mobi is boring. Imagine if some magazine advertised hoop.mobi for basketball! I think that basketball.mobi would be for the stiffs, but hoop.mobi would be really cool! If not a magazine or an informative basketball site, I bet a basketball team would love to have that name! Heck! If they can pay players $20million for a player, they could pay for that one.
I recommend you contact the association and teams. BUT before that, develop it.

Undeveloped = mid $x,xxx - mid $xx,xxx
Developed = high $xx,xxx

This is one of the best names that i have seen so far!

Hotdog please! :popcorn:

hoop and hoops are already good underground terms and ezines.... so hold on till the .Mobi gets know in the public.... develop a nice little fan site and cash in!

$xxx > x,xxx

enduser with content + x!

try tempting Hula Hoops with it as they love odd ball advertising in the UK!

undeveloped $xx.xxx ? seriously..this is a mid $xxx domain..hoops would be better..sounds all like inflation to me, ..this making people believe they can create millions out of nothing with no work ..this doesnt help anyone..if a pro appraises a .mobi domain here for 30K..it means reseller price is at least 10K..unless those people that suggest those figures are at least willing to pay the reseller price and put their money where their mouth is I think you shouldnt be spending that money just yet...

Cheers for your comments people, i am slowly getting round to development, just got a bit on at the moment, i did think about basketball but as i'm not american it wasn't at the forefront of my mind since we dont really have a massive basketball following in the UK. Well not to the degree of the States anyway! But thanks for the positive comments anyway! Chris

:eek: WOW ! NICE APPRAISELS THERE...

I remember overlooking this one many weeks ago & I never even thought about Basketball for this name.

Looks like you have a winner here :fish2:

Nice and short! approx. mid x,xxx min , but then again I might be way too low :loco:

Good luck 'aggieuk'

Cheers 3dGeek your comments are very much appreciated! Hopefully I could make enough money to pay for all the computer equipment I just bought, and recover some of the ££££'s spent on .mobi reg fee's! Cheers everyone Chris.

Looking at your collection, I think you'll more than recover all that christmas spending. looks like you're already spoiling yourself :tea:

...and don't forget the golden rule....Don't sell just yet. :greensleepw: coz that time is yet to come upon us :dance: ... Patiences my friend, Patiences.

Cheers 3dGeek your comments are very much appreciated! Hopefully I could make enough money to pay for all the computer equipment I just bought, and recover some of the ££££'s spent on .mobi reg fee's! Cheers everyone Chris.

I hope so anyway! I'm not going to do any promotion until at least after xmas, so i don't expect to get any ££'s til after then! I'm gonna try the traffic auctions anyway but have emailled them twice but no replies so i take it they are either busy as badgers or just don't like the domains, oh well there's lots of other avenues to go down yet!

Like someone else said, this is a mid $xxx name, reseller - tops. And yes, hoops would be better. However, good luck with it. Brand it well

Lets be realistic - Par.mobi sold for $650 (Sedo auction) a LLL word related to golf - regged in a few seconds. Hoop.mobi a LLLL word related to basketball, registered days after opening. Currently its a low/maybe mid $xxx. I can't give appraisals for the future, I am not a psychic. How do you come up with $xx,xxx? Its not helping the cause for .mobi so don't bother!
Develop if you can.

domainah good points! BUT that is what everyone said about the early .Orgs .Coms .Nets etc in the late 80's, early 90's now where are they! you are spot on about the development, but by the time the "BIG PLAYERS" get into .Mobi's there will be lots of developed sites etc........

as for the "apprasials" they are just that.... nobody knows exactly at the mo but just have a look at how many peeps in europe have signed up to iMode services.... the same service that they knocked a couple of years back when it was so big in J & C.....

.Mobis have got to be worked on but having a "KeyMobi" (our own term for a ovt/typo/popular) is half the battle and hoops.mobi is DEF a keymobi! :bounce:

What's your point? Are you saying .mobi, .info, .name, .whatever will become as popular as .orgs, nets and coms?

'hoops' would be the preferred slang for basketball as a whole .. hoop refers to the basket itself.

still short and sweet, but hoops is justified as premium, while this one is not.

Thanks for everyones input seems like quite a controversial subject! However everyones got their ideas and opinions and all are free to air them. Hopefully in the new year i will get some of my .mobi's including hoop.mobi in the auctions etc, and see who was right! But only time will tell i suppose!
