I bought this some time ago from the guy who regged it when the premium prices where lifted. I didn't buy it to sell but I'm kinda curious about what people think it's worth.

It is the same old story, person puts name up for appraisal then argues about values they don't like, extending to wishy washy claims of offers. Lets look for a real verified sale, personally I don't think we'll be seeing it at the level talked about.

Hey Elius,

You need to really take these appraisals with a grain of salt.

Every domain is valued to everyone differently.

I would have paid prob $3K-ish for owning my own name, others here wouldn't have paid $10 for it.

People will always question anything that is written when you say yu were offered this much or that much - Thats just the nature of the beast.

Don't take it personally.

To someone who teaches an online class all about Philosophy it could be worth $10K. To some who have absolutely no interest in philosophy it is worthless.

Be confident. It is a very good name, and thats it but remember if you state that I sold this for $x,xxx, or I was offered $x,xxx for this, people will queston you. Whether you answer or not, up to you.

But if you put a "this is what I was offered matter of fact" out there, just be ready for some to say - Bull$hit

The whole name of the game here is money, and most everything done day in, and day out affects our Market so most people want that confirmation for their own sales/valuations/arguements, etc.

I don't care if you think this domain is reg fee or if everybody thinks is regfee. I bought it for myself not for resell.

Since you bought the name for yourself (like I bought my first name) then it is priceless, and asking anyone for their opinion really doesn't matter anyways so don't even create a debate here, just be confident and happy you own it, and develop it one day. You will never see me add Vito.tv to an appraisal thread. I don't care what anyone thinks about it. I would have paid $10K for it if I had that amount of money lying around.

Good Luck with it,
Vito

Okay, I overlooked this post, my bad. I believe he paid $1000 because that was the premium fee.

I believe it was a unregged $1000/year premium that was bought for normal Regfee this year.

The so called "former premium".

I don't care if you think this domain is reg fee or if everybody thinks is regfee.

I said I thought it was worth around $100, that is a lot different to reg fee.

Maybe if you take the trouble to post an appraisal you could try to give arguments pro or con (whatever your position).

I did that in my first post,

"Would say around $100, ok term though not much commercial relevance, not sure who would really pay a significant premium for it."

I that is the case as well, was not on the premium list.

It wasn't meant to be taken literally. I probably should have said; "even if you etc think it's reg fee"

To me the definition of an appraisal is putting a (monetary) label on the commercial relevance of a domain. So when you say it is worth $100 because of little commercial relevance you are basically saying the same thing twice. Of course your definitions may differ.

I was under the impression these former premiums where released by paying the premium fee once and after that normal reg fee. Apparently this was not the case.
I wasn't really interested in dot tv anymore except for this domain. When a lot of domains lost their premium status I only noticed a few days later. Of course the domain had been immediately regged. So I offered what I thought was a good price to still get the domain.

Some names can be have little or no commercial relevance and still be worth something (usually because of the popularity of the term), this is that type of name in my view.

So I offered what I thought was a good price to still get the domain.

Many offer what they think is a fair price and get laughed at.

You have a domain that represents something that you want, means something to you, at a price you deemed fair. It's a very clear very definitive name. It is no doubt a good name that fits.

That's my definition of a great purchase. Nothing else here really matters. Its ultimate value will be what you make of it.

Good Luck.

You're right, no doubt.

Anyway, thanks everybody for the appraisals and discussion!
