The problem with .tv domains is that it limits usage to a television/video-content end-user.
Where .com, .net, .info, .biz, .io, .co, .org (to an extent) are relatively generic in use, .tv is problematic. There are many good single-word .tv domains available while they are registered in the other extensions. For example bullion/tv once sold for $200, whereas bullion/com sold for $25,000. Bullion/tv is unregistered despite the keyword being extremely valuable.

Another problem with .tv domains is the renewal fees for what their registry defines as "premium" domains are extortionate. I saw a one-word .tv the other day with $200 annual renewal fees so few people will sit on these domains for long. This leaves an end-user, which is any brand called "glue", and there are many (2,062 according to https://www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/).

NameBio (https://namebio.com/) lists just 10 sales of domains containing the word glue in the past 3 years with an average sale price of $254, including a sale for glue/tv - $220 (2014, GoDaddy).

On the positive side it's extremely short, memorable, easy to say/spell/type, it's an excellent keyword (both as a brand and as a range of products used extensively in every country in the world).

Today's value, in terms of what I would pay for it is the renewal fee of $200. With a website that valuation could sky rocket. I think you should look at WIPO for trademarks containing the word glue and try and sell to those companies. Perhaps a glue brand already has an active video presence and would be interested in a stand-alone domain. In this instance a buy-it-now asking price of $1,000-2,000 to an established brand is not unreasonable.

Just for info, all the .tv regged after March 18th 2010 are regular renewal fees (26$ to 35$ depending on the registrar)

So the renewal fees for glue/tv are maximum $35? Please can you provide a link to your source, thanks.

Thanks for the informative posting, I appreciate that. Maybe this short name deserves to be a blog/website with some monetization which might attract some search traffic over time.

Are you passionate and informed about glue? Do you have enough experience in developing websites? Do you know how to create a brand, and run social media channels, let alone create professional video content? If yes then great. If not (and it is possible for an un-experienced person to achieve) then, with respect and from experience, you won't be able to create something that generates enough traffic to generate enough affiliate marketing revenue to pay even the the renewal fees long enough for an end-user or domain investor to make an attractive enough inbound offer for you to sell. I don't think your inbox will be overflowing with offers, although it is a good DN and has value.

I would create a Buy It Now page and start an outbound email campaign, starting with the 2,000+ brands on WIPO who include the word "glue". Narrow that list down to companies who have a website (many don't), are active on YouTube or have an in-house video channel. Create a tailored approach to around 10-20 companies and sell it. Should create a bottom line (say $1,000), save yourself all the effort and move on.

I have seen some $X,XXX surprise sales in .tv

I could not figure out yet what kind of words sell high in .tv extention. But it feels like glue should be one of them.

I am not appraising it, but I would price it near $8000 and see the response.
