that was a cool one too!

 

[StoneRoses]

Popcorn.tv is still available as a $500 premium

 

[RogueWriter]

I was broke and allowed one to expire several years ago, figuring I would pick it up later.... - sigh - that's when I learned about domaining the hard way. Can't get enough traffic, but that fellow has held onto the domain for years, just waiting for someone to nibble on it. Can't tell you the domain, of course, though.

But it is out there, and it bugs me thinking about it. The fellow didn't even bother hanging a for sale sign, just parked it.

 

[smashfactory]

go -me- go!

 

[RogueWriter]

Did they add the premium to it after it expired, or was it always a premium?

Did it actually drop and go to auction or did it just mysteriously disappear ?

I think it was reg fee the first go around.

Seems like it still maybe.

They want EXTORTION MONEY!

You are paying $500 (premium) but it's registered til 2018 according to the whois.

Unless - my - math is wrong, that comes to $50.00 a year.

10 years would actually be $5k

It looks like it was grabbed just after that 35 day update period.

Sorry, I guess I am still not over it.

 

[TheBulldog]

Yes, it was grabbed by enom, and they made it a premium. (OR verisign, whatever)

 

[mckennaronnie]

Even at $500 yr i think Popcorn.tv would be a decent buy (though i wont be buying it )
Popcorn.tv has excellent potential to be a Movie site or sold on to one of the major Popcorn makers to accompany a TV ad campaign. Personally if i had it then it would be a Movie site, Popcorn & Movies go hand in hand in my eyes. Look at Popcorn.co.uk or Popcorntv.com to see the potential (i guess the tv.com being developed may of been reason a few people wanted this name??)

Well, i was looking for a domain name with word "censored" in it or something similar to the topic. By some luck i stumbled to a censored.tv in one of the threads. I just grabbed it from domainacrobat (namepros member). I did overpay for it, but considering the rule "Once it's gone, it's gone" i bought it. NO PAYPAL!!! ))
