I'd give the ".TV" the same appraisal ... Reg. fee+ (wholesale), IMHO, due mainly to the lowly ".WS" extension. They are marketed as being abbreviated for "Web Site", but it's just hype!
PS. The ".TV" is available at this time according to Register.com, no wonder. :o
Best of Luck.

Its very hard to put a price on .ws Domains, not much value in the wholesale market it appears.

Not much on Overture but Google scores 2.1 million, notice the first site listed, its a .org

FYI:

It was one of the first country code domains to be offered on a worldwide basis for general registration (followed by .ws [Western Samoa] and .tv [Tuvalu])

They work just like any other domain does, resale value is limited of course.

I believe you can find a buyer even though it's a .ws.
The Keyword prefix is strong.. and all primary extensions are taken..

Might have a look / or contact the developers here:

a .ws has equal opportunity of being listed in the engines as a .com !!

Goodluck!

$40. This is a good gaming domain with all the new handhelds coming out including the Sony PSP, Nokia Ngage and a few others. The market is strong for this at this moment.

i'd say 5.000.000 $ :D . i like .ws :D , specially their spam (or their affiliates') going around the Net this days.

But honestly, remove 6 zeros and theres the right value of your domain

Good Luck with this one

Reg-Fee+, who knows, you might find a buyer who's looking for a domain just like that, luck happens

I would say $regfee+. The domain name itself is good, but the extension kills the domain name. Good luck!

Well since I'm stuck with this domain name I decided to make it worth something so I signed up with link share. I am going to see if this works. www.handhelds.ws. Does anyone know a good cheap way of advertising a website?
