.tv $30.5K in Premium Regs Last Two Weeks

[antonis12]

These figures are for two weeks, ending March 13 (I was traveling last week):

As with with the prior figures...tracking premium words only (no n/nn/nnn or l/ll/lll .tv, unless they are also a word)

New Premium Regs (20 regs, $30,500)
us.tv $10,000
control.tv $3,000
all.tv $2,000
innovation.tv $2,000
move.tv $2,000
unitedstates.tv $2,000
slam.tv $2,000
revolution.tv $1,000
uno.tv $1,000
believe.tv $500
biblestudy.tv $500
carat.tv $500
code.tv $500
fiction.tv $500
mother.tv $500
speak.tv $500
tier.tv $500
bulletin.tv $500
greek.tv $500
sumo.tv $500

Premium Drops (1 drop, $500)
crops.tv $500

Net Regs = $30,000

Notes:

1. us.tv and unitedstates.tv the big story this week. Same registrant on both. Looks like a private individual. Biblestudy.tv and believe.tv also went as a pair.

Generally, a lot of small ($500) registrations during this time period.

2. This list is not officially released by Verisign. It is derived from changes in what is available for sale.

3. Premium Names above $1K per year are negotiable in price. Nobody knows the extent of discounts given and how they might interact with multi-year reg "discounts." (the standard multiyear discounts are not really discounts; you are just getting credit for paying early; time value of money, etc).

Cheers

Excuse my ignorance, I don't know ANYTHING about dot.tv registering; are you just using the word 'register' interchangeably with 'sold' re the above names, or is there something I don't know about the cost of registering dot.tv names...?
I ask since I have a handful of dot.tv's I now want to reg, and am just starting to look into the possibilities of this extension.

Yes, there is something different about .tv names. "premium" names are reserved by the registrar and registered at higher rates than non-premium rates.

Great info, thanks.
I'm going to assume that if I see a certain dot.tv available at, say, Namecheap for $43, that there's no 'hidden' cost later and that is the actual reg fee total...

Yes, your assumption is correct.
