.tv karachi.tv up to $9400 with 30 hours to go

[GoneWalkabout]

What I thought might be a routine auction at namejet for the name Karachi.tv seems to offer some light on the high value placed on geos these days.

The name is now, after 46 bids, at $9400 and there is still a day and a half to go.

Hold your hats people it looks like we've entered interesting times again.

With the wiki stats its easy to why.. I was surprised with the population size.

Wiki.
Area[4]
• Metropolitan City 3,527 km2 (1,362 sq mi)
Elevation 8 m (26 ft)
Population (2010)[5][6]
• Metropolitan City 13,050,000
• Density 3,700/km2 (9,600/sq mi)
• Metro 13,205,339

If Id only kept England.tv, America.tv, Latvia.tv, Seychelles.tv and a couple more I forget......... Im not sure if its from the 10 year coke habit in the 90's / 2000's but my memory is shot!

Good to see a great GEO getting some attention thats for sure.

That the geo.tv INVESTMENT market is driven by a few not a many.

A name like Karachi is not worth the money relative to other sales unless you can afford it and will use it.

Seen better marketable geos go for way less imho. would not be surprised to learn that someone is messing with Finster ....

 

[dereksdog]

thanks for that,now i understand a little more.

Can we submit our own names to Namejet with a reserve. If so, I can't find the link to do that?

[/COLOR]And with seconds left to go the winner (loser?) is...


ME! Looks like I'm the crazier one!

What was the end price?

Thanks Fin, good luck with the name.

Congrats on the acquisition but I would be interested in the logic. Developing original content for a geo where one does not live or even speak the language and trying to sell ad space to local advertisers in a foreign country would I believe be a challenge. I couldn't sell ad space to local advertisers in the city I've lived in for more than a decade even though I had original photo / video content which not even the Miami Herald or Sun Sentinel or local TV stations were producing (by the way several stores I visited were operated by Spanish-speaking individuals and my sales intro was done in Spanish instead). OK - my dentist agreed to place an ad for free in exchange for a referral fee on any new customers responding to the ad. True I'm not a developer and certainly not a salesperson and I've been out of town for much of the last year but we'll just say that geo development is not easy if you are not local. I own quite a few hyperlocal South Florida geo .TVs but the ones even a mere twenty miles away I find it hard to spend any time towards developing.

.tv domains are used by quite a few TV channels here in Pakistan. geo.tv for example is owned by a major news channel. So I guess that is why karachi.tv is seeing so much interest.

Karachi is the largest city and the commercial capital of my country.

Sounds like a challenge that you are more than up to.May you reach the success that you seek...

(I hate pitbull culture though .. these dogs are descended from some of the move loving breeds)

 

[twomoon]

It looks like that little dog is a lady, and almost every lady that use the same tactics as that small dog could beat a big dog (guy)
