.tv Has the .tv market peaked?

[snoop]

I think we are seeing numerous signs to suggest the .tv may have peaked. From what I can see of it, it is fairly common for relaunched/new tlds prices peak to at the time of the major auction, when speculator interest is at its highest, and you have a whole lot of people in the market who wouldn’t normally dabble in it. I’m not sure .tv will be an exception to this rule.

The only thing to change is there is now a large number of names in the market with genuine, real value, much like other extensions. In other words it is now on a level playfield in that respect but it is still only that, "level", not tilted upwards. The exuberance has carried over into a lot of unrealistic viewpoints recently in my view,

eg

-People claim this market is just starting to warm up and will be much stronger in a year. (we’ve heard that before)
-The idea that many of these premiums will be developed (of course that will never happen and is setting the scene for later disappointment).
-People talking about “trying to keep the momentum going” and trying to organize group auctions (as though this is an engine that constantly needs top ups of fuel to prevent breakdown).
-People talking about future .tv millionaires.
-World economies seeing another shock spreading out from Europe.


If you look back a month ago that really was a market with a lot of positive elements rolled into, many factors combining that may never be repeated.

So I put this question out there, do you think the .tv market has peaked?

actually i think we already established why some might be naysayers.

"poop and scoop" should be renamed "poop and snoop" in your honor.:imho:

I think some people would like to think that. It usualy revolves around people who can't see the other side of the fence in my view. They can't fathom how people could not be positive on .tv like they are to the point where they think everyone is actually positive on it. Reality is distorted so far that they think naysayers must be buying.

naw. i think its more they wonder why anyone would waste so much of their time telling others not to buy something unless they have an ulterior motive.

I don't pay much attention to .tv, but it seems as though there is some renewed enthusiasm around here. However I can't help but wonder if the release of the premium domains and the excitement of now owning them is the only reason for this.

.... or has there also been a surge in serious developer interest?

Unfortunately, no serious developer interest (and VERY limited scope & breadth of actual demand) in any of the recent HYPED "reported sales" of Premium .TV's, IMHO.

Thanks, as I mentioned I've been waiting for the Whois to update ... still need a link for the "sale" of Web.TV (that I believe that is in error), IMHO. :red:

Best regards,

Extensions like .COM, .NET, .ORG and .DE are a waste of money and a thing of the past.

Now is the best time to buy and secure those .TV names that interest you the most. Your investment will give you an exceptional return down the road. Where else are you putting your money? In a CD at 2.5% or savings account at 1.25%?

An investment in a CD or savings account is a totally different investment in terms of risk. I very much doubt people are saying , "Now should I buy some .tv domains [ultra high risk] or invest the money at 2% [ultra low risk]" so you are probably preaching to an audience that does not exist.

It doesn't matter the risk when you truly believe in something.

There are 85M .COM / 13M .NET / 8M .ORG / 13M .DE

They all have established markets, both reseller and end user.

There is a fine line between being pro .TV and just delusional.

Maybe .COM will replace the .XXX concept as more people get screwed.

It doesn't matter the risk when you truly believe in something.

I think that it does matter to your wallet.
Those who dabble in domains as a hobby may think like that, but the serious domainers would rather earn than lose money.
In my view you are emotionally involved with the extension so you are bound to make decisions that are not rational from a business POV.

 

[snoop]

It doesn't matter the risk when you truly believe in something.

The problem,especially with domains is that people often don't fully understand the risk. I think that is due to them "truly believing" as you suggest, rather than understanding the downside aswell. If someone is completely certain about an investment then in my view that is someone who is not being realistic.

It's interesting that in a VERY HEAVILY biased Pro (Enthusiast) .TV Forum, that between (over) One Quarter and nearly One Third of all poll respondents believe that the ".TV" market has peaked; one would have initially thought that the responses would have been 90% or higher in favor of "No" (not peaked), IMHO. To me, that even further supports that reality of the situation; that .TV's best market/valuation days are in all likelihood behind it due to the 10+/+ Year old ccTLD's continued lack of awareness and End user adoption / development ... and even very recent "hype sales" were proven to be with very little substance (including very little depth and scope of actual demand, as has since been uncovered)! :red: :imho:

Onward and upward,
Jeff

that small of a sample?...not a very scientific soul, are you?

but then again, I really didn't think you were considering your convoluted logic that you manifest...your forte is more in the line of misinformation and taunting so stick with it, it's all good with me. In the meantime, the extension moves upward and onward despite your weeping and gnashing.

Me? I'm having a good time with or without you.

.tv - I Like It!​

I just saw Fast.tv and Wifi.tv go for over Euro 3k and $3700

If .Tv has peaked - then it is obviously still doing so.

Apparently Apple peaked in 1988 as well!

Wow,

Those are some damn good numbers.
and I still think the buyers got a steal on both of those domains!

If neither of these get developed, We will see these 2 sell for $xx,xxx in the next year or so.

Hmmm, The "peaked" arguement seems to be losing steam.

Wow, great sales.

Congrats to the sellers !

 

[discovernow]

Fast.tv and Wifi.tv great sales. .TV is just getting started. The only think that has "peaked" is bad names in any extension.

Thanks, Jim

 

[Makis.TV]

Maybe I m the only one not satisfied with my sale :D
WiFi surprised me, maybe I m not so up to date when it comes selling tv's to resellers.

 

[discovernow]

Where is the results/link of the Sedo Auction, for both.tv and the other names?

 

[hullswingerscom]

what did day.tv fetch ?

I did expect a far higher amount to say they thought it hadn't peaked, 90%+ like you suggest. The result could probably be read in many different ways though. If 99% thought it hadn't peaked I'd be far more worried than if 30% thought that.

Now that sounds like a "peaky" argument.

Those are "good numbers" but the buy "got steals"? Either the names went cheaply or they didn't, you seem to have two opposite opinions.

Secondly the stuff about development and likely five figure sales sounds like fantasy to me. Development is high risk, to assume it is going to increase values 10 fold in folly.

fast is a great name considering all the car, bike stuff out there

.TV wont overtake .com but it May overtake .net an .org etc :tu:

In what way do you think .com would be more superior than .TV in the future?

I think we are seeing numerous signs to suggest the .tv may have peaked. From what I can see of it, it is fairly common for relaunched/new tlds prices peak to at the time of the major auction, when speculator interest is at its highest, and you have a whole lot of people in the market who wouldn’t normally dabble in it.

Why are you so interested in .TV?

 

[mjnels]

Why are you so interested in .TV?

probably because he is interested in the domain market in general and .TV happens to be part of that.

some of you guys need to learn the difference between a troll and someone simply being interested in the general topic and offering their genuine opinion.
