This advice is only for newbies, not for seasoned domainers. Seasoned domainers know what they are doing when they buy few .tv domains.

If you want to test my theory, start the same poll in regular "domain discussion forum" section, and then see the poll results......you will be surprised.

Just my 2 cents......trying to help newbies from losing money.

I would agree that these results will come out biased as the majority of answers come from .tv owners.

Regarding your other points i think you are being a bit harsh on .tv. I own developed .tv's and find that not too much traffic is lost to tv.com, i regged the tv.com's as a back up but the traffic going there is a tiny % (In my experience)

Regards Aftermarket Sales i think .tv sales are selling OK, the Premium pricing does put off some buyers but many are not put off paying $xxx per year for a domain that may cost you $xxx,xxx to buy in .com
Aftermarket sales in .tv are growing all the time with prices rising continually even with MANY really large sales not being mentioned at buyers request.
