That one has a chance, even at that price. Most other .mobi domains are worthless, unless they meet similar characteristics of last minute mobile phone use.

Taking a look at the example above, what urgency is there to get an invoice on your mobile phone? The answer is "not much", making invoice.mobi relatively worthless. Sorry.

Now let the .mobi buzzards circle.
sportsbook.mobi sold for 129k. not at this auction, mobis didn't do well but virgin.mobi got up to 17k but didn't hit reserve.
