Additionally, I'm pretty sure that "FR.TV" started even higher (upwards of $8,500+/+) ... and is now down to $7k+ as a one-time greed "Premium" Reg. fee from Name.com; that the commonly referred-to country code of France (Fr) is not being promptly scooped up at this price (and with only having a nominal recurring annual fees) seems a BLOW to the LL ".TV" aftermarket (thus taking down such similar domains as BE.TV, DE.TV, UK.TV, and US.TV, as examples). This is a clear indication of very limited breadth & scope of actual demand in the ".TV" aftermarket at the present time, IMHO.

Goodnight for now,

rt.tv is the only 2 letter .tv I have heard of being bought in the aftermarket at a premium by an enduser, maybe there is others, but rt.tv is another of those "once in 10 years" sales in my view.

Even then if you type in rt.tv into google it is not until page 2 that the domain is even seen, they are using the .com.

My gut feeling is it might be worth 4k or so, I do agree that the market has cooled since the premium auctions.

FR.tv was bought this week at $7766

Personally, I don't think this means values of LL.tv have gone up or down as a result of this. But is does bode well for LL.tv that the interest is ALWAYS there.

To be very clear, there was ZERO interest in "FR.TV" ... until an Usual Suspect™ .TV domainer stepped in and paid the up-front Premium registration fee of $7,000+ (if, in fact, that is what he/she really paid and did not negotiate a better price with the Registry); this hardly means that interest is always there, it certainly is not and it hasn't been for some time!

Correct, as in yet another domainer vanity / collectible ... and to help "boost" the perceived demand & marketability of ".TV's"; afterall, the ccTLD .TV has already proven itself the ultimate, non serious, vanity / niche extension (and has been languishing as such for well over 10+/+ years), in my humble opinion.

Interesting insight.

I would have thought that a thread with 400+ views and 20 replies about this subject would not really constitute ZERO interest.

But what do i know.

And, if you have a clarification on the $7000+ price or understand more about the pricing structure I'm sure everyone would be 'all ears'.

I think the main point is SOMEONE (trademarked domainer/enduser or not) put several thousand dollars up to buy a .Tv name a couple of weeks before Christmas.

That's only a ".TV" Usual Suspect™ thread ... which once again reaffirms the EXTREMELY LIMITED breadth and scope of actual, bonafide End user demand for even the best of .TV's (even of the more rare LL variety); bottom line is that it's nothing more than a domainer vanity extension!

I would have severely negotiated on its $7,000+ "Premium price" ... my hope is that the current domainer purchaser/owner did just that as it's not nearly worth Low - Mid $X,xxx+/-, IMHO.

Temporary and perceived "bump" amongst a handful of followers ... nothing to get excited about after its jaded 10+/+ year history, in my view.

Merry Christmas,
Jeff

Personally I think the only thing to really say about it is the price was probably too high in relation to other ll.tv sales including sales like in.tv, lots of people knew about it and said no (despite all these people saying "if only I had the money, "you beat me to it, I had it in my cart for a month" etc and it took a thread about it here for it to go.
