.tv Enom premium letter

[kubativity]

ok. just thought id shed some light in case any of you didnt get your enom premium emails.

i responded to the orignal email asking about renewal price. the agent that responded to me told me that the renewal price will be 3000.00 (which was the reserve in the first email!)

so as far as investing in these premium names, you'll find better ROI at a casino!

Yeah that pretty much settles it.

Can anyone say "Price Gouging?"

 

[SKG]

Outside of last year's discount given for a short window, premium fees were always high for many years. This is not a new thing. I know it looks like price gouging but anyone can charge anyone for whatever they want for a domain in a free market. Pricing is relative to one's ability to pay. Even so called non premium .tv regs are three times the cost of a fresh .com reg.

I guess the moto, you have got to pay to play applies here. Hopefully, we will see them adjust their pricing strategy. I think there will be a lot of clarification when we release the interview we conducted with Demand Media on www.AllThings.tv.

What I would like to know is how Demand Media expects users to react positively to the video tools they are making available to the average user when some domain names can cost ridiculous amounts of money. Of course, the 'premiums' could be left on the market for corporations to buy, but it seems ridiculous to build in a high yearly amount for a renewal.

First off what would be ridiculous? Like SKG said these fees have always been this high nothing is changing, Secondly I doubt very much Qdaly will be shining much light or had any say in premium pricing. There is nothing new here, actually if someone does not pay the buy it now, the reserve on some domains is lower than what it was at Verisign. A guy I know who is a VC told me he read this forum and asked if people are really that naive? RosenBlatt is focused on an IPO for Demand Media that is his goal, not to be the champion of your little forum. Now he and I went back and forth and he is no friend of mine, but I said I think there should be a balance but I come from the financial world I know the IPO is first and foremost that's where he will either be a star or a goat, not whether or not $$$$ is a fair price for xxxxxxx.tv

kubativity,

Thanks for the clarification but better ROI at a casino? The game is just getting started.

Flowers.mobi sold for $200k. What's the reg fee on flowers.tv. I would suggest a lot less.

Some names are better than others.

Yeah I mean lets face it, there is a bigger goal here then to sell all the premium names to people on this forum.

Some of these names are priced just for big doggs and they will not go to anyone but a big dog.

This is actually better for .TV because it protects the integrity of .TV by keeping people from hoarding all the good premium names and leaving them undeveloped.

This IPO is most likely going to happen, and I would put money on it and I never bet...

Well this post might be more significant than people realize, this about sums up what is going on,

People better think twice about what they buy and sell (as in dont sell to soon),
Time to get ready for another ride, and right now we are all on the good side of a potential future bubble!!!
