.tv Current price values between a .com & a .tv

[htmlindex]

Just wondering what you all think about the current price values between a .com & a .tv in terms of percentage.

Just kind of pulling a figure out of the air, but would you say that a .tv is worth approximately 3% of the value of a .com or more or less than that? Say that xxxxx.com sold for $100k, would you say that xxxxx.tv is worth around $3k?

 

[Dr. Mindwrecker]

EQ wrote about this a while ago, he had the .tv around 2.5%- 3% of the .com
I myself was using 1/30 so about the same valuation.

But honestly, that should not be your only criteria, as it should be on a case by case basis...

 

[mckennaronnie]

It is near impossible to say as of course it should be judged in a case by case basis but to take a guess judging by prices i have noticed over the past few months then i would say .tv's are worth 3% - 5% of .com's.

RicK Schwartz sold Ireport.com for $750,000 to the ultimate end user
Lance sold the name I came up with during the coop way back when, Ireport.tv $1200
Sales happened within same month end of December

What MW referenced was Six.tv sold for $25,000 same week at TRAFFIC SIX.com turned down $1,000,000

.tv sales are nowhere in the same stratosphere with .com. If someone can get the .com IMO they will leave the .tv UFC branded UFC.tv for years and when they could get the .com they went for it. Current.tv went for the .com as soon as they could get it and left .tv Again IMO

I am guessing 2 to 4 percent roughly.

Ray brought up a valid point. We are surly no where .com value.

I believe and current trends it will slowly inch up. All the trends I am seeing are only but up. Year to date registration growth sales and etc.

Based on my thinking I am thinking this

09 will be 5 percent
10 will be 7 percent
11 will be 9 percent
12 will be 11 percent
13 will be 13 percent.

I feel these numbers are very realistic. In fact by year 13 I am thinking more like 15 percent to 20 percent.

Who knows. As more .tv awareness gets out we may surpass 20 percent. I still strongly believe that .tv will over take .net extension.

Good luck everyone.

Makes perfect business sense. Any business person would rather know his
future costs now. With .Tv who knows what premiums and renewal fees will
end up being. :td:

They will be the same as what they originally paid,unless they did a deal and have lower renewals

 

[equity78]

I think it just makes sense because .com is superior, If a major corp bought Ireport.tv they would know their cost $24.99 a year probably spend a whopping $250 and reg it for 10 years.

I think 20% is way off personally Jeff, Porn.tv would have to sell for 1.9 million to compare with Porn.com $9.5 million sales price.

I think if on the norm it is 5 -8 % .tv will be ok, its nowhere near there yet. Maybe you compare it to .net Porn.net just sold for $400,000 could the .tv sell for $100,000 or 25 %? I don't know maybe it is a keyword that goes with the extension. I think that matters too, adult names, entertainment names may get a higher % then say industrial names.

Lesbian.com vs Lesbian.tv the .tv maybe able to get a higher % of the .com price compared to fertilizer.com vs fertilizer.tv

please correct me if I'm wrong but they can do what they please come renewal time from the fine print I read.

Only if it dropped, they can do nothing if you maintain registration of the domain and have never changed a price while still regged.

If you drop Golftv.tv then it goes back to the registry and they can make it a premium but not until you dropped it and had no lease rights (TECHNICALLY NO ONE EVER OWNS A DOMAIN) to the domain.

Beat me to it,

 

[jeffoverman]

20 percent may seem high and it is a bit far fetched. That's why I am estimating 2 percent increases each year. I don't think that is far fetched.

Who knows. Only time will tell.

Not to start a debate here but if auctionnetwork.tv sold for 23,000 bucks I believe and how much is auctionnetwork.com being fetched for? If you ask me the .com is not worth 100,000 bucks. I also have not researched this but the .tv buyer could own the .com.

Point being is this again just my thoughts.

If a domainer is willing to pay for a name or an end user, the percentage could be higher. Or lower. Everyone has there thoughts. I feel .tv percent to .com will continue to rise and go up at least inflation.

If I am wrong. I am wrong. But I like what I am seeing in .tv sales. Richards 2 nice sales, people flipping things and etc.

Good luck everyone!

 

[equity78]

First off AuctionNetwork.tv sold for $25,000 and that is the exact name of the company that bought the domain.

Secondly it is not a debate you are entitled to your opinion like everyone else is entitled to theirs. And my opinion is that 20 % is high again IMO.

Thirdly there is no data supporting that .tv compared to .com is rising as a % of sales.
Actually the opposite $1200 vs $750,000 less than 2 tenths of 1 % .tv vs .com

Lastly one sale up or down does not make a trend, you need several sales to evaluate the data. With .com sales far outnumbering .tv sales it will be hard for any of this data to be proven for years to come. Again IMO

 

[DnEbook]

the gap is huge , only a few even get a sniff ......sex.tv , porn.tv news.tv and so-on

 

[freedom30]

I have opined in other threads that .tv is not AND WILL NEVER BE in competition with .com.

.tv is a media based extension and that is probably where the high $ will be for a domain name, which is why the same name(non media based) that .com has will only be 3 percent or less for .tv, as a rule.

That being said, there is a window for media-based and brandable .tv names that will fetch mucho mucho dinero, and this may be evidenced soon enough. Some(not many) may be worth far more than their .com counterparts, only because of its application to a visual medium.

My opinion, but hey, that what the forum is all about. I'm enjoying this extension and seeing it grow.

 

[jeffoverman]

The trend is up. My point is things looking up. Its across the board, not just one .tv sale. We are up and up on developments, sales and etc.

It all boiles down to what people are willing to pay and seeing what they want to pay. 20 precent far fetched. Maybe. Again only time will tell.

But I love what I am seeing.

And yes .com will always be king. So let's throw that out of discussion.

Again 3 percent is a good average to go by I believe and will follow the inflation index. Within 5 years I believe we will see 20 percent sales to .com sales. Again imo.

Discussion, debate, whatever the proper term I love what I am seeing.

 

[equity78]

I agree Freedom that is where I used the adult/entertainment .tv vs industrial names will do a lot better.

These names can close the price % gap vs.com. By how much will be the key. Again IMO

For this thread .com cannot be thrown out Jeff it is what the op asked, ".tv vs .com"

 

[jeffoverman]

Freedom good point. Glad someone mentioned this.

.tv is for media. The future is in media.

Let the .com boys pay there millions have there fun and how .com is king.

I don't have millions to buy a candy.com

Hey if I wasn't a huge believer in .tv I wouldn't have invested in the space. Again, I make hedges. .com, net, mobi, de cn and etc. Out of all the exciting stuff in domaining I am very upbeat on .tv.

Good luck everyone and good fortunes. Only time will tell and like everything there are risk factors.

J

Why throw this thread out ??

Its interesting. I been wondering this for quit some time and I am sure a lot of .tv investors as well.

Keep the thoughts and thinking coming inn.

Maybe I am the only wacky enough to go on record on 20 percent. That's fine. Just my thoughts. Just like ray has his.

[equity78]

Jeff I said we cannot throw .com out for this thread, not throw the thread out. You said lets throw .com out and I said we cannot for this thread the op asked .tv vs .com

And yes .com will always be king. So let's throw that out of discussion.

That is what I was referring too

 

[jeffoverman]

Oh lol. To clairfy that remark I meant that I know .com is king and pretty much everyone knows .com is king

I didn't mean to say throw this thread out.

Its a good thread and sure everyone wonders this time to time.

Names like porn.tv porno.tv sexo.tv, ass.tv, hard.tv will surly move in price.

Now question is how much. I don't know but porn is here to stay and its a booming business online.

.tv video and media.

To all the owners, hold onto them. Gem and top notch names.

Then geo owners like Sanchay, George, sneakers, discovernow, Richard, John tv, and etc. The players will benefit very well with there developments and diverse holdings. Oops. Throw in mr rhee into the picture since he owns Christmas.tv and god knows what else he owns in .tv.

Now the question how much will .tv back to the question and why this thread was formed. Inflation index for .tv and .com continues to do well. Bubble in .com. Probably not. Bubble in .tv. No way! To exciting and internet. Still 20 percent I will occure if it hasn't yet to one .com sale.
