.tv APPRAISAL -- ChildSafe.tv and a couple others.

[TheBulldog]

ChildSafe.tv: I see this as a place with Kid friendly media...possibly to be developed by a company wanting to present their cartoons, toys, etc. Set up with some type of rating system.

KidSafety.tv. Perhaps a site for kids to learn not to take candy from strangers?


PetSafety.tv Generic safety site for pets.

I also found VetVideo.tv and VideoVet.tv which are pretty self explanatory and may be an option if the people who got the better names, like Veterinary.tv or Vets.tv never dev them and just hold on for resale.

Hi there dude.

I don't see any of the names listed as having any intrinsic 'worth'. I mean, I think you're gonna be struggling to sell them on for anything if that was the intention. These two word domains are difficult because they have to be really on the button I think and childsafe.tv has so many other permutations someone can reg if they really needed something along those lines. Childsafety.tv springs to mind for starters.

On the other hand, if you plan to develop these names would it really be worthwhile unless you were especially experienced in these fields? ChildSafe is ok but I think the development would be difficult and potentially fruitless so I can't see a bright future in these domains. IMHO

PetSafety did make me chuckle a bit though - our cat 'Fergie' refuses to act responsibly and could benefit from a site like that

As always, best of luck with your Dot TV-ing!

Thanks Riffs. I was actually thinking the petsafety could just as easily turn into "stupid pet tricks" central

Showbiz,

I am not a huge fan of these. None of them spot on describe a category so, as Riffs said, someone can always find some other combination of words that can "brand" a site on that topic.

These are development only or low resale value (XX) names, IMO.

Thanks,

Antonis

How does pet safety equate with stupid pet tricks

 

[TheBulldog]

I don't know, how about some video of a dog walking in horsepoop and then brings it in the house, and leaves it on the floor. Then a kid slips in it.

Whatever you are smoking it is green in color.......

 

[TheBulldog]

So, want to appraise the name as is?

Why smoke when I can just go to the mobi section and breath in. (Oh no he didn't just go there)

OK, as is 0.00.

Showbiz,

You have asked for alot of appraisals over the last two weeks. Many people are giving you ther opinions....a common theme between all of those who offer that opinion is that your names are poor to say the least....whether you are just tasting them or otherwise.....

Everyone is telling you secondary market, and you are entitled to ignore that opinion......but when you are constantly regging the same kind of poor regges, day in day out, it makes me think that you are not asking people for their appraisals, you are asking for their approval, and when that is not forthcoming, u ignore the good advice being offered.

Less sarky comments, more concentration on what good people are telling you, you may just find that peoples appraisals start to get better

 

[TheBulldog]

I am also buying from secondary market, I did listen to them.

To me, this is a business. I see .tv as having huge potential. That means that even names that aren't the best will eventually have a market. Since I can't afford to pay the very high prices for great names, I am trying to get somewhat good names that by name alone are fairly self explanatory and have a tie to visual media of some kind. I am not buying things like barnforsale.tv which, in my opinion doesnt' really have a tie to video. I am buying things that, if developed, could have potential market value to an end user.

Quite frankly, telling people to only buy after market in the way some of you do is a huge put off to people because they can't afford the aftermarket. So they don't even try anymore and you lose not only a potential buyer, but a potential development deal. If you want to tell them to go to the aftermarket, at least do it with an explanation of why their names suck or could not in any way fit into a media market.

I am looking for appraisals, and direction on what I should be looking for, bearing in mind that not all of us can pay the high prices of the aftermarket. We instead need to find a few more because we can't buy just one and then sit on it for months until a buyer comes along. In my experience, if you aren't moving product, then you aren't making money.

All that being said, what I am doing is trying to get a decent sized group of names for sale, so I ask for opinions on what mine could be worth. If they are worthless, I look for more. I don't take it personally, I just move on to the next one.

It feels much safer to buy in bulk and sell one at a time. I want to recoup some of my expenses before I feel confident enough to move to a bigger name which I have to hold on to for long to get the best ROI.

Finally, at least I am constantly searching for better names that fit in my budget. I am not giving up, just moving forward. Most others would have left long ago after hearing "go to the aftermarket dumbell" ten million times. I'm there, I am buying a few, just not anything over $100 because I still am not 100% sure of how soon I can expect to see a return.

And I like sarkey comments, so meh.

Ok, if you like sarkey comments, who am I to take that away from you!

But you stated,.....that means that even names that aren't the best will eventually have a market.......the problem is, that all the names so far (with the exception of FrightNight..was that yours?) are less than not the best....they are not resellable undeveloped......someone else has said that crap stays crap.....I am not going that far.....but do not be under the illussion that mass buying buys you a safety net.....it does not, it buys you alot of names that you will not be able to sell.....

If you cant afford the aftermarket fair enough........but that does not afford you the luxury of poor regges......

So you want to learn how to avoid the poor regging.....the key that I see to your poor regging is that you do not register names that people must have if they want to go after a particular genre.....as long as there remains so many alternatives of equal or better name, your names will not sell , not even for a dollar profit.....look at it the other way round with you looking to buy.....

Now, just as an example - this is not a plug of my names for sale...really, I dont care about the money, but lets say you spent $200 on PUNDITS.TV - that is a huge name, it would be a site that invites user generated content on anything and anything they want to talk about, be it books, films , politics, etc etc.....you have a site that you can develop, but you also have a site that if someone wanted to develop along a similar theme.......then PUNDITS is up there as on of a few MUST HAVE names........and that is the difference...MUST HAVE..........

So $200 = 8 regges.....do you have 8 regges you regret having....and are you going to reg another 8?????????????

Showbiz,

My intentions are to give you some constructive criticism...hopefully you will see it that way too

 

[TheBulldog]

I do see it that way, and thanks.

Regardless of what my typing looks like or sounds like in your head, I do this with a smile and an eye out for a bigger and better one liner. I never take comments personally, because, quite frankly, it's the internet. And I can't poke you with a stick from here. (Sarkey)

So fine, I will go sulk in the aftermarket for a couple days.

 

[poiuytrewq]

I would just say this. I think these two word domains are a bit limiting unless they are really top-notch.

But hey, the good news is there's hundereds of great one worders left!! I have about 200 identified but i'm not going to reg them at the mo because I've got more than enough .TVs to keep me going (40).

For instance, Navigates.TV is available. Now, that can certainly be developed into something tangible with not too much work! Particularly as there's a real frenzy about SatNav at the mo.

Best of luck dude!

 

[space101]

Showbiz the question you have to ask yourself, is if I don't sell any of these names am I willing to renew or drop because if you drop you will have lost money, and if you had taken that same amount of money and spent it on 1 or 2 good one worders then you would have had a healthy ROI. The reason being is you probably have a good chance of selling these names as oppossed to possibly not selling ANY of the names you have recently been regging.

 

[TheBulldog]

If the names don't make it past whatever I see for them to the visions of others, I might take advantage of tasting.

And why is it my appraisal threads always end in discussions about the aftermarket versus just monetary appraisals? (This is a rhetorical question, I know why)

Please, instead of just saying they stink, give a value and why. It makes it so much easier and people then don't have to type out long diatribes about why I should only use the aftermarket and buy one worders. And then I have to reply and then they reply, and then you reply, and then everyone gets irritated and we all get in trouble and have to sit in the corner.

I'm tired of sitting in the corner. I am never out of it long enough for my chair to cool off.

EDIT: Fine, here is a one worder. Bribed.tv---I will use it to find public videos of politicians being bribed. I believe that should be relatively easy.

 

[RogueWriter]

Aftermarket is safe, but there are still a lot of available .TVs for reg fee. Reg fee domains, though should follow 2 avenues. Either they are easily identifiable as a desired/must have domain, or you must be willing to develop the domain to the point that others 'get it'. There are too many available domains still to try to sell a hard-sell domain that is not developed.

In the last month, I've regged:
antivirusprotection.tv
antivirusprogram.tv
antivirusprograms.tv
conductor.tv
DataEntry.tv
MarketingBook.tv
PaleAle.tv
PublicLibrary.tv
Schnapps.tv
ValleyGirl.tv
WesternApparel.tv

Maybe not great names, but I have an idea on how I will build each one of those, over the next year. My point is, keep looking, you will find your groove, and don't settle for the secondary market as your sole 'channel' for acquiring domains.

One thing, in the available domains thread, there are still dozens upon dozens of good names that no one has bothered to reg........

Oh, and BTW, I kinda like KidSafety.tv

 

[TheBulldog]

Thanks RW. I went to the available section and picked up intellectuals.tv. We'll see what happens with it.

I also found NFLSunday.tv......
