Letter .Mobi Domain Names Listed on eBay — 100 Three

A portfolio of three LLL.mobi domains is listed on eBay with no reserve.

A portfolio of 100 three letter .mobi domain names is for sale on eBay with no reserve. The current price is $2,550 with 11 bids. It’s unclear who is selling the portfolio as all of the domains have whois privacy. The seller’s username is auction_hand.

Is someone dumping a portfolio to get out of the .mobi market? I was tipped off to the sale on eBay by a reader Jason who wrote “It looks like the .mobi fire sales have begun.”

Maybe so, but this is just one seller. And his portfolio of three letter domains is nothing to write home regarding. Three letter domains have value when firms have acronyms of the three letters. I doubt many firms have a need for these:

dqy.mobi
oyw.mobi
xzt.mobi
qze.mobi
xvm.mobi

With little-to-no pay-per-click revenue and the only set of buyers other investors hoping to flip up the chain for another couple bucks, I don’t see much value in this portfolio.

What do you think? Do sales like these show that people are trying to unload their .mobis?
