Us.tv - Is it worth to purchase ?

I regged it yesterday , and the renewal fee is $5000/Yr.
And eNom only accept payment via Wire transfer but not eNom point.

How do you think about US.tv ?

Please post your opinion,

Thanks,

Kam

Amazing reg. If you have a plan for development, then the renewal fee is a small price to pay. Congrads and keep us posted!

Malaysia · May 11, 2008

great regg but if u have the money n afford the renewals i believe its a worth it..

mckennaronnie · May 11, 2008

Kam are you going to develop this??

If so then the $5k should not be a major concern though developing something like this to a high standard will cost big money.

I'd love to hear what your plans are for this domain.

I think i am right in saying that the general NP .tv forum view is that it is a good buy IF you have the funds, resources to develop this to a high standard BUT if you have bought purely to flip then it is risky.

Let us know what your thinking if you can, i'm very interested to hear your plans.

Good Luck,
ROnnie

I guess this is your answer! It was well worth the reg if you can make $1000 on a few day hold!

Curious on this some. I am surly not an enom price list expert nor do I hold a yearly fee name.

Why did the previous owner let this drop? Why didn't previous owner at least attempt in selling this while he had it, recoup some money, send it to auction, post it here, or other forums?

So he or she drops the name, enom grabs name and ups the yearly fee.

Then since I am touching base on this. Why didn't new owner of name approach this to owner and work out a deal. Sure it would run money in buying name but yearly expense would be down. If you care to respond to this I am just curious. I am still learning how all this enom stuff works. Oh one last question, did you renew this a couple years out, or just one year?

I am sure enom will be giving discounts soon again. I don't see many people paying reg fee but that's just me. Or maybe they won't. I surly missed the boat on this. But life goes on.

Jeff

There are Premium names being dropped all the time.

Some of them are either spectacular for their extremely low yearly renewal (a few members here picked up some gems late last year) or they are just great names that have not been priced in line with the quality of similar Premium names. Then of course there are crap Premiums that are dropped.

Sometimes they have been sitting on Sedo or Afternic, or they just come out of the blue as a drop - who knows the reason behind each drop, and what efforts (if any) the prevous owner went too to sell the name.

.... how do you know that eNom has up the yearly fee? I have not been able to find anything to support that.

jeffoverman · May 11, 2008

Hi heroes

Thanks in explanation. Think I got it.

I believe it was .tv that said they upped the fee from 4k to 5k.

I am on my blackberry and mobi so I am not sure who mentioned it in thread but I believe its .tv and it is in thread on page 1.

Thanks again heroes

I just received the domain

It's seem eNom is lower their US.tv price.

In 2006, It's $10000/ years.

No, it was $4,000/yr prior to the drop. I checked the renewal at Ahead(.)TV during last week of April, at that time the domain name was in REDEMPTION PERIOD.

domainacrobat · May 12, 2008

Out of curiosity, I was wondering how much everyone thinks USTV.com would be worth in comparison?

I don't think the website you mention is Work,

when I check porn.tv. it's 50USD /Yrs... :p

And $25 USD for xxx.tv

Anyway, thanks for the information.

Yes, Porn.tv is $50/Yr premium.

Check the renewal fee for us.tv. :hehe:

It still shows the previous renewal fee of $4000, as the status of the domain has not been updated yet.

The site works, its just that those people got super deals way back when. Those are accurate prices for the most part.

equity78 · May 12, 2008

Exactly those domains belong to MrsJello and Elequa all of their renewals are $25 and $50 It is wrong to use ahead.tv and see a low renewal and think it is wrong many people got many great deals and for some those deals are for however long they register .tv on the renewal side.

heroes · May 12, 2008

Ahead.tv is a good resource but it is not always accurate in the price of yearly Premium renewals and therefore can not be relied on.

I have previously reported that I have a number of Premiums where my yearly renewal price is not what is reported on Ahead.tv.

Last week, Ron Jackson also reported that he has a Premium and the renewal is different from what it is listed as in Ahead.tv.

With regard to the post by Antonis back in March 2006, it was reported that us.tv was regged at $10,000. I'm not sure whether there was transperancy as to pricing back then (Eq - could you look up prices then?), but in the meantime it could have been dropped and any sort of deal could have been done with Verisign/Enom prior to this recent drop.

When I buy a Premium in the aftermarket, I always ask for a screen shot of the renewal price in the owners account. That way you cant go wrong.

dgridley · May 12, 2008

I agree... otherwise the renewal fee is apt to eat a large chunk of any potential profit.

developing this domain would be right way to go.

snoop · May 13, 2008

It is a fairly good risk at that price (in terms of reselling it), I definately wouldn't be holding it longer than the year though.

frankiethepet · May 13, 2008

us.tv

Damn good. If you develope it... if you dont do anything with it the renewal could hurt a little... BUT... in 10 years... US.TV will be worth endless amount of money.

As many already said, if you have a develop plan, then congrats.
If you just hope to hold it for few years and sell it with a higher price.
You probably need to take a look of following table.

Good luck

(sold price) (renewal fee paid) (profit)
it.tv $12,000 $10,000 $2,000
de.tv $20,000 $10,000 $10,000
tx.tv $7,500 $10,000 -$2,500

Just to correct you...TX.tv was my name....

tx.tv Sold Price : $7500 Renewal Fee : $300 Profit : $7200

US.TV is a great name for development. but, maybe not for reselling.
