In this week's Top Topics, we look at a new .TV sale that makes the top twenty list for 2019, and investors discuss the .ORG extension after the recent news that could mean that .ORG prices are drastically increased. Elsewhere, we get an end-user's perspective on a domain name purchase and investors debate Tesla's latest brand, and their "cybrtrk.com" domain name.
I Sold ATM.tv for $7,500
Veteran .TV domain investor @Ammudamus seems to have a regular stream of .TV sales, with the latest deal announced by this domainer being the sale of ATM.tv for $7,500. Verified by DNJournal, the sale ranks comfortably in the top twenty .TV sales for 2019.
There are more details about the transaction in the discussion, but the buyer looks to be Daniel Aharonoff, a technology investor and entrepreneur. As of writing, the domain forwards to Daniel's own website.

How Many .ORG Names Do You Own?
It has been a defining week for the .ORG domain extension. The .ORG registry has been acquired by a private equity firm, Ethos Capital. Although a statement in a press release said that .ORG names will be "reasonably priced", some investors are worried about possible price hikes.
In this discussion, investors are asked to reveal how many .ORG domains they currently hold, and whether a price increase would influence their decisions to either maintain their ownership or let the names expire.

The End-User Buyer's Perspective for Acquiring a .COM
The end-user perspective for a domain purchase can be enlightening to both investors and other end-users. It's relatively rare for end-users to share their story of a domain purchase since many want to keep the whole process confidential. However, when a company gives their perspective on a domain deal, it's usually highly beneficial and educational.
Here, Page Howe has shared an old Medium article from a company founder about acquiring the WorkHound.com domain name. Page has listed some of his own takeaways from the founder's story. Read the Medium article and see if you agree.

Tesla Purchased "cybrtrk.com"
In light of Tesla's recent announcement about the addition of a truck to its line of automobiles, most of the discussion has centered round Tesla's branding, with the company apparently calling their new truck the "CyberTruck", a term harking back to the early days of the Internet.
There has also been branding around the term "cybrtrk", with Tesla filing trademarks for both "CyberTruck" and "cybrtrk". This being a domaining blog, we're interested in the domain name angle. In this discussion, an investor reveals that Tesla either acquired or registered the domain cybrtrk.com at the beginning of November. Interestingly, the company hasn't secured cybertruck.com.
