I sold Vans.tv for $5,000. It has a $500 premium. Not an "earth shattering" price but a good ROI.

In isolation yes, $2000 has been spent on reg fees in 4 years and you've got $5000 at the end of it (assuming no brokerage or escrow fees).
If you had a portfolio of names like this how would it have gone? Not very well in my view.
btw I've sold a name to that buyer before, it is very likely the shoe company, he represents some big corps, not saying you necessarily could have got more though I sold a typo barely making reg fee to them for the exact same price ($5000) a few years ago. They just accepted my first offer if I remember.
Congrats on a fine sale, discubre ahorita...
Yours, too, Snoop, we don't want you to feel left out or worse, neglected, just because the .tv extension is doing a good job. Life just ain't fair, is it, my bleak and forlorn crusader? We who are investing in the extension are enjoying the party even with a party pooper like you trying to spoil the fun.
The joke is on you, Snoop. Those investing in the extension are profiting and having a good time doing it. In fact, we like hearing your 20th century portents and omens as well, so stay the course, Senor Quixote!

Congrats on a nice sale! Just curious if they approached you first or if you contacted end users directly.
Snoop, no I paid $1,500 on reg fee's. Buyer is paying this year. What is $5,000-$1,500=$3,500 profit. Buyer paid Escrow Fee's through Escrow.com. Snoop since you are so smart, what is the ROI on that?
To suggest this is an example of .tv being profitable for people is a real stretch, he sold it for 2.5 times the reg fees paid, and to an enduser. Like I said I think doing this on a portfolio basis would not be profitable. For every sub par name with a $500 reg fee sold for a price like this there is 50 names that never sell or get dropped.
This thread kind of reminds of the shares.tv, investors.tv, hire.tv etc auction where where of the 3 names one was sold at a loss and another wasn't even paid for....yet it is held up as good news for .tv and the back patting was on tap.
Snoop do you know anything about investing? Let's say you buy 10 names and take a loss of $10,000K when you sell 7 of those names. However, when you sell the other 3 and you make a profit of $50,000 for the year? What is your profit? Hint: $40,000. ($50,000-$10,000) Do you understand this Snoop or are you just that stupid.
How does every thread turn into this nonsense. The thread was a reported sale by the thread starter. Nothing more, nothing less. Pretty sure Jim was not looking for validation.
Congrats on the sale.
The thing is though this is being made out as the "good sale". I really think it is a stretch to suggest owning a portfolio of names like this would be profitable. Even far better terms than this are being dropped like hot potatoes.

He held for 3 years 2007 til 2010 49 % annualized, 233 % overall percentage gain. Which is a good ROI by a logical persons opinion.
Unless the investor owns one name then that isn't the ROI.
