I am guess that some one offered him more on the side if he backed out as it did hit above reserve. It will be put up again and the reserve put higher or it will be sold on the side.

Given that the average EPC rate in the mobile sector is £0.50 at best, and a good click through rate for visitors is about 50% at best you would be looking at getting around 91,500 visitors to your site before you got a return on your investment for the domain name alone. This negates the fact that you would need to impliment a hefty marketing, SEO and PPC campaign to bring those visitors to the site which I would estimate to be at least £150,000. So for a cool qtr mill, you need deep pockets to make the money back. I would suggest that picking an unregistered short domain name and spending £91,000 promoting it would be a much better use of capital and would provide a quicker more lucrative ROI. Good luck to whoever got this one though, it's a little like having your own personlised number plate, looks good but doesn't really do much!

I also think the owner might have held onto this one a little too long. It may offer a small boost from the domain name, but anybody paying 100k based on SEO benefit is IMO optimising based on an old algorithm. The domain has only ever existed as a parked page, having no history (link or content wise) worth speaking of. It's not going to rank anytime soon for that phrase. Still, there's some massive players in that field, and as long as one of them belives it's the magic bullet it might still fetch an (unworthy) 6 figures.

£100k would be a fair price.
