| Golf.tv is the highest sale that comes to mind. There have been a number of very high sales with NDA's though so we are unsure if anything ever went higher than Golf.tv to my knowledge. Here is a few other large sales: Vegas tv $350,009 Jan 04 GreatDomains net.tv $100,000 2003-02-01Pvt Sale free.tv $100,000 2003-02-01 Pvt Sale china.tv$100,000 2003-02-01 |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-tv-appraisals-industry-news/523500-highest-price-has-been-paid-tv.html Surely you would only pay top $$ for a .TV at that stage IF you had some great plans for it as $600K would of bought a whole lot of great .tv's at the purchase date. | ||||

Now I know for sure of one sale over 100k, well as sure as I can be without seeing the paperwork. Equity mentioned a few weeks ago that he knows of a sale over 500k, but doesnt know the name Have any of you seen a great british film called "Secrets and Lies" - amazing -the moral of the story is that keeping secrets is corrosive in the short run and benefits no one in the long run, least of all the .tv extension and so we must go with 65k as the highest sale as Snoop correctly points out as the highest official sale for a .TV..... Even yours truly has been gagged by an NDA for a SUBSTANTIAL sale of two .TVs........ | ||||

   | I have never believed the GOLF.tv sale, Millers is correct someone on this FORUM, beyond Highly respected in 2007 $500,000. JohnTV Me.tv sale was most likely higher than the travel.tv sale too but that is just speculation. |

whereas .net, .com and even .mobi are still reporting high end sales due to the large volume overall of high ticket sales in the respective extensions....so everyone gets to see that where as .tv - shuuuushhh Whilst i am not disheartened at all as to the extension as a whole, I have stopped investing in .tv and unless I own really good .tvs I will let them drop..... Like Felony.TV, like Barrister.Tv which I bought for $100 in aftermarket and then thought about it and said actually, I cant develop itand I cant be arsed to put it on the marketplace..... I have what I have now, and unless I see real value or a name I just love - thats it for me......I have one huge development project and one blog that I am starting to get attached to..... | ||||

| Golf.TV: $600,000 (Private?)-2003 Vegas.TV: $350,0009 (*) -Jan 2004, Sold at GreatDomains, I spoke with the owner of this domain to confirm. Free.TV: $100,000 (Ric Johnson)-2003 Net.TV: $100,000 (Hui Qun Zhao)-2003 China.TV: $100,000 (Hui Qun Zhao)-2003 Property.TV: $100,000 (BVD)-2007 I agree, I'm sure we are missing dozens of NDA sales in 5 and 6 figures. I know of 4 myself... ...and many more to come. |

| I sold all my names to my shadow company held through 3 LLC's for tax reasons. Sadly, I was ripped off.

| Thanks Guy's for all your replies please feel free to keep them comming. Just about the yearly reg fee - You used to be able to buy out of these also, I dont know if you still can but you used to be able to do a deal with the registrar on certain names I know of a few. Regards, Robbie
