.tv FoodTV.co.uk goes for $7698!

[GoneWalkabout]

With DNJournal reporting that FoodTV.co.uk has just sold for $7698 does anyone else carry a lot of TV.co.uk inventory?

Added to last weeks two bIG keywordTV.com sales (5k and 10K) is the TV.co.uk TV.com TV.de TV.net market going through a mini-upward-blip or is this a real indication of it pushing forward in a steady way?

I hope your pockets are deep as next year this time you will have a crapload of renewals!!!

I agree with Acrobat, renewal fees are the killer and unless you can monetise domains (while you're waiting for your big payout - LOL), then you are throwing money down the gurgler. For every .TV you own, you have to earn about $30 a year to cover renewals, hosting etc. Bit easier with dot coms ... you only need to make ten bucks a year to be in front. And of course it's a lot easier to make $10 a year from a dot com than $30 from a dot TV.

I actually bought my first names (all geo's) as a long term thing, believing that prices on .Com renewals would reduce!!!

I've had my first hit of renewals. They do focus the mind. During my last batch (over 200) I ended up offloading only five names - mostly defunct for my purposes or just plain bad names.

The other names i have purchased (including .TV ones) I did have every intention of 'monetising', but reality is, the bIG project shined its light in my face and the people who work with me just got on with that, and that alone.

My options now are to build mini-sites for my names using outside contractors, to sit on them, to park them, or to sell them. There is also the option of letting some go - but I doubt that will happen in any number above 4% of the total.

If we relate many of the TV.co.uk names I have to the origin of this thread, the fact that the TV.co.uk market is taking root, then, if you were from the UK would you really get rid of the likes of...

WalkTV.co.uk
WasteTV.co.uk
WaterTV.co.uk
WaterwaysTV.co.uk
WeddingdayTV.co.uk
WeekendTV.co.uk
WestendTV.co.uk
WestTV.co.uk
WhiskyTV.co.uk
WimbledonTV.co.uk
WindTV.co.uk
WinnerTV.co.uk
WinterTV.co.uk
WomanTV.co.uk
WritersTV.co.uk
WetTV.co.uk

(these are just a small selection from the 'w' section - most geo's and LLTV.co.uk removed)

Or would you hold on and try and do something useful with them?


My ultimate goal is to get down to 20 on each extension, but that will take many years as the market matures.
