Haha, congrats to you, Michael!
Good to see someone made money with this one. A bit of history on the domain: This name sold numerous times in the past. I bought it for $650 in dec. 2010 on a chinese auction site and resold it within a few weeks for $468 - after enduser marketing turned up no buyers. I didn't want to pay the renewal on it - the renewal fee was somewhere $x,xxx per year at the time, as the .TV registry still did 'premium' renewals on 'premium' domains. Don't remember the exact amount. As I recall, some .tv's had $xxx,xxx yearly renewals or even higher!
The new owner dropped the domain, obviously for the same reason that I sold it at a loss - $xxxx renewals turn a cheap domain into an expensive one very quickly.
The .tv registry quit the premium renewal scheme a (very short) while later, I believe early 2011 or 2012. Michael caught it, the premium renewal worn off after the domain dropped which made the domain a lot more attractive.
Now before all of you kids run off to buy .TV domains:
