I bid on photo.tv - best one up there for me.
I also bid on:
coupon.tv
financing.tv
did not win anything though

Domain Jedi · Apr 8, 2010

Thanks for sharing. I was tempted to participate in the Loans.tv auction towards the end but decided to pass. Contrats to all of the buyers.

antonis12 · Apr 8, 2010

I think this is an extremely healthy and balanced outcome for the TLD.

There is definitely more depth and attractiveness to non-premium renewals than some of the biggest detractors have claimed.

But this is also much more realistic pricing than Enom/VSGN have admitted to over the last 3 years.

Also, I think this serves a VERY VERY VERY useful purpose for the aftermarket in now we have 115 data points showing the approximate spread of values in an ideal situation (publicized auction with as much PR as a secondary market event will ever have).

There are some things that are a little goofy but if you look at the values in total, you have a decent sense of where things fall out.

That helps liquidity and activity in the secondary market because instead of pointing to 10 transactions over a year where people are arguing if the same domain is worth 50,000 or reg fee, there is a fairly objective place to go look and benchmark.

Were there any that did not reach their reserve? I was too busy to notice when the initial time was up.

domainacrobat · Apr 8, 2010

All reserves were removed!

IMO the best deals were:

photo.tv $2,383
financing.tv $955
coupon.tv $2,049
golfing.tv $2,150
reservations.tv $510
auctions.tv $5,050

if they were singular version

auction.tv may be a good fit

golfing.tv has potential

the rest, good keywords, but not for .tv

imo...

golfing is the best one of the bunch but if you look the search volume is overwhelming for the term 'golf', not 'golfing'

Are they required to be developed?

They don't come with 'development requirements' ... but they are advised to be tracked for - at a minimum - informational purposes (ie., sold comp's), IMHO. :gl:

All the best,

GoneWalkabout · Apr 8, 2010

Thanks ThreeD for compiling the list.

Much appreciated.

snoop · Apr 8, 2010

The results generally look ok to me,

The main positive: Business.tv look like a breakout sale. The headline will be good for the ext. There is reasonable depth in the results also.

The main negative: I would sale this sale has "busted the myth" about geo .tv domains. With Japan.tv and Germany.tv worth 10k clearly some people have grossly overpaid for geos recently and the premiums people are paying on many city names clearly make no sense.

I have the same feelings also. Geo's are hard to develope and make serious money out of them, competition is huge.

GoneWalkabout · Apr 8, 2010

My God Snopp, you're cheerful. Have you just been to afuneral or something!

Anyway, it really sounds good to hear Snoop say these words. Normally he talks such crap!

Truly a wonderful day.

'Breakout Sale' - I really like that one. Nice!

It must be something when even the most negative man on the planet 'gets it'.

You're very welcome, but all honor goes to Mike. He made the original post over at thedomains.com/2010/04/08/sedo-tv-auction-ends-with-800k-in-sales-our-winners-losers/

I'm just spreading the .tv love to this wonderful forum

Now, don't you think these numbers speak for themselves?

.Tv Domain Not meeting reserve

These are the only domains that did not hit reserve and did not sell in the auction

british.tv
sluts.tv
specials.tv
chatroom.tv

IMHO, it makes more sense to buy/develop a geo (country or city) in the native language. For example: Deutschland.tv would have more value than Germany.tv. Japanese people would probably prefer Nippon.tv rather than Japan.tv...

Junk in, junk out ... let's all take a deep breath and verify these closings / buyers and take it from there; fair enough? :blink:

Nice of you to close the loop on the full list with this...

...and, of course, you should get all credit for compiling the original sales achieved list for the auction.

You may have recorded a little bit of history. Thank you.

I'm all for it! If the buyer in my bid-war chickens out I'm one happy dude because I'll get my favorite domain
