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.
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.
With regard to:
.... how do you know that eNom has up the yearly fee? I have not been able to find anything to support that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the correction.
Agreed, US.tv will be good with a nice development plan. For resell .....
Still, Congras to you. It's a very good return for tx.tv
I think it is expensive if you don't develop it.. Each year you pay 5k.. If you don't sell or do anything in 3 yrs, you end with 15k price to break even, not to mention lost opportunities to buy something else with same money or Interest earned..
You should look at it as paying 100k for this name.. Because, you can put 100k in bank, use the interest money to pay for renewal the rest of the time you own this domain...
Would you pay 100k for outright purchase of this name?
tx.tv renewal fee is only 300, so the buyer got a good deal as he won't bleed to death renewing the name.. He will pay like 10.5k roughly for having it for 10 yrs.. Whereas, here you end up with 50k bill..
I monitor this domain for a while but didn't bother to register because of no development in mind. They are so many 2 letter domains in .TV
Right now, they are some few investors and resellers in .TV. Especially, recession is around you.
Good luck to your investment.

I think something to point out here is that USA.TV is a $100,000 per year premium.
You could run a site about the USA with US.TV for 10% off the price and still have money left over to reg more premiums LMAO
But seriously, as stated by many, if you do acquire one of these expensive premiums, have a development plan of some kind. Parking it is not a good idea...
