For $171,250, .Mobi Domains Continue to Sell — HotelDeals.com Sells

An auction at SnapNames for HotelDeals.com closed for $171,250.

The sale was one of the largest domain name sales of the year, as stated by the latest domain sales note from DNJournal.

BuyDomains sold GatherRound.com for $40,000. I purchased a couple domain names from BuyDomains this past week as well. BuyDomains has a great portfolio of domains and is well worth checking out. There prices for most domains are reasonable and they have powerful search functionality on their site. Other notable BuyDomain sales this stretch, as stated by DNJournal, are GreenTrade.com for $9,000 and DomainManagement.com at $7,000. A couple of the best deals from BuyDomains on the chart are PrivacyManagement.com at $2,500 and GenericPrescriptions.com at $2,142.

.Mobi domains continue to sell well. Sedo sold Attorney.mobi for £11,966, which is regarding $24,000 USD. The firm also sold BBB.mobi for $6,500, Lenders.mobi for $5,200, Campus.mobi for €2,481, and Dealer.mobi for $3,050. Sedo has another big one coming up – loto.mobi is at auction with a $10,000 bid and the reserve is met. Afternic has a number of .mobi domain sales closing in the coming week and recently sold OrlandoRealEstate.mobi for $1,500. Afternic’s other .mobi sales for $1,000 or less include Fare.mobi, DogPictures.mobi, ComputerStore.mobi, and GroceryStore.mobi. An auction for Laptops.mobi closes this stretch. .Mobi is one of the most successful domain launches ever, as I predicted, especially with regards to quick action in the aftermarket. .Mobi has the TRAFFIC/Moniker auction to thank in part. The $200,000 sale of Flowers.mobi set the bar and gained a lot of press.
