.tv Has .tv still potential value?

[Ricardo M]

Hi all,

I consider to buy a strong keyword .tv

The combination looks stunning and is regged with over 30 extensions but the reg fee is suddenly 530 dollar as it is recognized as a premium name by the registrar

In general i would like to know your .tv experience, sales or names that you hold with .tv extension so i can figure out if it is worth it to take the risk. I'm normally only with .com but i would like to take some risks.

Yes it makes a lot of sense thats why. .
530 isn't the renewal thats the reg fee! And most probabely renewal too..

You really like the domain so you should probably register it.

Also consider you might keep it in your portfolio for the next 5 years - will cost you $2650 and if you think you can still sell it for a good profit after 5 years, definitely go for it.

Its all about your budget and your approach to domain investment. If you like to keep your portfolio small and keep the quality high then I think it is safe to buy. But if you have hundreds of domains than it might give you a hard time when it is renewal time.

Wishing you the best hope you will figure out the best option for your investment.

Guys, again, .TV regged after March 18th 2010 doesn't have premium renewal but, in some cases, just renewal reg fee.
So if you reg it next year you'll pay something between 24 and 35$ depending on the registrar

Are you certain? Does this price list only apply to Dynadot? Earlier this year, I posted here about On.TV being bought by Pheenix themselves, never appeared in their website to bid on nor two other drop services. At the time, Someone posted this link for me to review.

The name that i want is indeed on that list. Althought most of them are incorrect. China.tv isn't 22.50 anymore

i have several 'premium'. tv domains but have standard renewal. It seems that even after the domains were dropped and re-registered, these domains are still called premium, premium renewal for the domain you are willing to buy is not necessary but i recommend contacting. tv registry and making sure

 

[donnied79]

Guys, I'm 100% sure. I've bought and sold many "premium" .tv and if they'd have a premium renewal I'd know.
Only thing you must check if you buy a .tv regged before March 18th 2010

I have enough faith in Online Tv to have registered OTV in my local states car number plates (not in use) but just sitting there for when I want to whack em on my car

While I still have a .TV portfolio I have dropped ~70^ of the .TV names I once held. .TV is not easy to sell and I would not really recommend .TV as a TLD to invest in.

We do not understand why people follow us around with their dislikes.

We consider .tv extension as unadopted. There is very limited demand for it and it does not appear as an investable space. You might as well ask if .mobi is investable.

Short question finds short answer.

"We think" ....Coming from someone who cherish's Donald Trump its a little hard to take you seriously

Have a look at the reported .tv sales on namebio: https://namebio.com/?s==kjMxIDO3QTM

There are plenty in 2017, some very surprising like charity.tv for $1500.00

You are being off point.

Comparing .tv to .mobi is like comparing .com to .biz

I haven't owned a dot tv since year after launch. unless i was buying digital.tv, web.tv, internet.tv i figured I missed out on premium dot tv.

We disagree. We consider both extensions noninvestable and unadopted, despite limited reported sales.

Those of who agree with that might want to use the ignore button to filter out any Borkers who help you end up broker - don't want to see another thread hijacked with wee contributions. .tv domains actually get used, .mobi do not.

Are you invested in .tv?

With any portfolio where parking earnings are insignificant, an investor is relying on X% of the portfolio to turn into sales at an average price of Y which will cover the renewals. Alt TLDs are more difficult to sell than .COM even when they are priced considerably lower than their .COM equivalents. The biggest challenge with .TV is the renewal cost. Yes, at least back in 2009 to 2010 it was much easier to acquire decent keywords than a .COM. However, $28-$30 renewals compared to $8.50 or so for a .COM make .TV investing like running on a treadmill. The occasional sale is consumed by renewals. I currently have a .TV sale in process if SEDO will get off their ^%$#! and process the escrow transaction. But the sale is not even worth reporting because it is only $XXX and is far less than what I have paid in renewals since the last time I sold a .TV domain (which was another $xxx sale not worth reporting).

We are of the same opinion.

 

[cooljub]

We are not aware of any popular website based on .tv extension, so we find no value in it.

Why so many dislikes? Just because someone's made some comments that others don't agree with, they shouldn't then become the victim of a witch hunt. Isn't namePros a place for varying opinions?
DNB makes a valid point.

I do not agree because he's mentioning a "fact" without knowing what he's talking about.
You can say "I'd never invest in .tv because I think price will go down". I don't agree but it's an opinion, respectable as mine.
This is not the case.
