Dot mobi has become legendary….but not for a good reason. Dot mobi even took the legendary Rick Schwartz, king of domains, for a spill. Evidently there is one keyword that can overcome ANY tld, 888. Those three numbers could possibly be the most valuable “keywords” in the world. Valuable because they need no translation. Valuable because 2 billion people cherish them. But is it valuable enough to make even a dot mobi hit a high price? Evidently. 4.cn is auctioning off 888.mobi and with 5 days left its already at $3,000. According to Namebio, 888 has fetched some pretty good prices on other alternative tlds
888.at $3,633
888.be $10,000
888.mx $10,000
888.sk $925
Contrary to popular belief there are still solid prices being fetched in the .mobi sales. Again, according to Namebio a few of the latest price

Earlier in 2011 bargains.mobi sold at $6900 and Eol.mobi at $10,000 marking the modern day high in the tld. I think 888 breaks those highs, making it (in my mind only) the most or at least one of the most valuable term in the world. We’ll find out in 5 days
What do you think RentCars .mobi is worth?
Alex,
-4 dollars
Not a fan of .mobi, although it sure is better than .tel! However, 888 is the definitive number for the Chinese market buyers.
Not that I think Mobi merits any real value, but I hoping Keyboards.mobi is worth a bit more than the 12 bucks I paid for it as GoDaddy auction a few months ago.
One more sale from me last month.
247.mobi for $1300
