the buyer contacted the seller, the seller through out a very high number mid XXX,XXX, the buyer countered with 100,000 the seller denied, buyer came back and there you have it. Assuming they knew who the buyer was ie if it was sportsbook.com or a major vegas casino, they can probably assume that they have very deep pockets and therefore you can ask big dough

If these companies have big pockets to pay BIG money for dot mobies, then they certainley have the money to promote their dot mobi Sites too :yes:
Mobile Internet here we go :approve: and it looks like the dot Mobies are right behind it

I hadn't seen the DNJournal article until it was posted here...yup, its good enough for me.
Remember, a few large sales do not make a valuable extension, but its certainly positive news. I'm glad I picked up a couple good .mobi's but wish I registered a pile more.

It's not rocket science to set up an Escrow.com transaction to pump up a crappy extention. In fact, the practice is often put to use for "head-scratcher" sales (what's a few hundred or a few thousand when you can draw in suckers for more sales).
It's not important on whether you can prove it or not. There are lots of things that cannot be proven, but experienced people know are false.
It's not a coincidence that most, if not all of these questionable sales have Whois information that is impossible to verify (Private ,or people who don't exist).
Just go over the top 100 sales and write down a few that seem absurd. Then do a little research. You will avoid those people as well as the extention. Most of the sales originate from someone who has a vested interest in the extention or in similar names.
Let them embarass themselves. They aren't fooling anybody. Maybe one or two of the absurd prices are legit, but it doesn't really matter in the long run. If you were really sitting on the goods you would be quiet as a mouse.
Another common tactic is to take a crappy extention to a Sedo auction. Everyone knows Sedo won't go after fake bidders, so the person with the crap name sets up the first bid and waits for the suckers. Usually, about two weeks later someone asks him about his sale in one of his threads on a forum. The response generally goes something like this: "I regret to inform you that the sale of name.crapextention fell through. The buyer disappeared". Of course, many of these fake auctions have multiple bidders, so why not just sell it to the next in line? There is no next in line...if you catch my drift. The final comments go something like this: "I am pulling the name off the market", or "Back to the vault", followed by the cheerleaders of the extention saying: "Don't worry, you'll get more for it later". It's fun to watch.
Pump, Pump, Pump, Dump, Dump, Dump. New extention...Pump, Pump...Dump, Dump. That's the program to reel in new suckers.

These 5-6 figure sales encouraged me to invest in dot mobi. Good news is, I have made money from my investment, but not enough!

The trick with any fad is to get out on the rise because the crash is fast.

I wish I knew better Fear, unfortunately I rejected several $$$-$$$$ offers - since 2007 - offers have passed away. Got luck several months back and sold a dot mobi through sedo for $500.
You could say the same about .com, not long ago LLLL's were in demand and then died off. Now we have LLLL's dropping.
