Today is the last day for the NameJet auction of Hobby.info; the current bid is $411 and the auction ends at 12:38pm PST.

Obviously the hobby vertical is a HUGE market and with 246,000 exact searches a month for hobby and 135,000 for hobbies, this domain has lots of potential ‘depending on how you value the .info’  I feel that .info if properly developed and the content appropriate, can be a killer play.  Here in NY, the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) uses MTA.info for train/bus/bridge info and schedules….

The CPC traffic is nothing to brag about; however this could be a great domain to setup as an affiliate site either thru MiniSites or WannaDevelop - below is a screen shot of the keyword search volume and approx. average Cost Per Click (CPC)

Please keep in mind this does not include searches for models, model plans/cars/train, remote control planes/cars, dollhouses, etc., etc.

You could also explore direct ad sales, a Hobby Store Directory (online and offline) and even a social platform where all hobbyist come to communicate; ask questions, share ideas and sell their work….

So bottom line – how much do you think this domain is worth?  I think it’s worth what you are willing to put into it!!  A true hobbyst and/or passionate hobby person can make a living off this domain in my humble opinion.  It will be interesting to see how much it sells for….
