.tv $25,000.00 .TV Name Just Sold on SEDO ~ I didn't want to sell

[RPK]

So I get an offer on SEDO for one of my .tv names for $3000.00. I counter offer with $25,000.00 and a message saying I don't really want to sell this name since it is part of a niche that I have a nice hold of.

Today I got the standard emails from SEDO telling me the buyer has agreed to my price of $25,000.00 and we are locked into a binding agreement.

So first off, until SEDO gets the money I will not count this as a sale and won't reveal the name and it is possible that the buyer will flake out, which honestly I hope he does since I really like the name and feel it will be worth more in a few years. So no congratulations yet please.
But the one good thing we can look forward to if the sale goes through is that it will look mighty nice on DNJournal and hopefuly bring some press or more awareness to our wonderful extension.

Yes it was a premium. Yes it was only a $250/renewal. Yes my investment was only $150.00/year for the first 2 years in that Golden Age of 70% discounts.

I think it will be the highest .tv sale of 2008 and hope someone will beat it the week after.

Go .tv!

Don't want to congratulate you Richard because you said you do not want it to sell. So good luck on whatever outcome you truly want to have.

I take it it was Education.tv Millers congrats on finally selling.

This post almost made me hyperventilate! I so hope it goes through for you! How long will it take to know?

I was looking through your portfolio and I think I know which name it is.

Very very good name IMO. If I were to appraise it prior to your post I would have said $XX,XXX range. I cant believe it is only $250 premium in comparison to most $500 it is leaps and bounds ahead. I noticed you actually did a great job picking off many $250 renewal fee domains, great job Richard and I hope for the best.

Thanks, but does that mean you think I only have one name that is worth $25k today?

When/If the payment goes through I will set up a poll with 10 names and see which one everyone thinks sold for that amount. It will make a very interesting thread to see what people think and to see how many guessed correctly.

Not at all Richard. I believe you have many great .TV that will garner $XX,XXX paydays.

Its not hard to run down your portfolio against $250 renewals and your domians on sedo with offers.
