.tv SHOCKING NEWS .tv rejected for live auction

[sundari]

Dear comrades,

As we are all aware that,

There will be a live auction conducted by snapnames.com in the month of January.

I tried to submit my .tv names for consideration.

The names that are considered are .coms, .infos, .nets, even .mobis but .tvs are rejected.
I feel it is a great loss for our .tv seller community.

I wish all the sellers should raise voice against this. Kindly follow this URL to contact them.

I tried submitting my .tv names using this URL

From your title, I thought it was News.tv that was rejected from the auction - that would have been a major discussion.

I agree, it is unfortunate. I tried to submit Debates.tv, Swords.tv, Daggers.tv. I would also have given Instructor.tv a shot.

Those are fairly nice standard reg fee domains, and I would be willing to bet they would beat out a lot of the dot coms that get submitted.

( email sent to snapnames, thanks for link )

I also sent an email to snap....Will let you know what the response is!

Thanks for sharing this information. Sent a mail to SN.

Would u mind disclosing what names were rejected?

I wonder if they rejected the names based on confusion with premium fees and buyers.

 

[TheBulldog]

Actually, I submitted ALL my domains to see what would happen. Everything that wasn't in their list of "preffered" domain extensions was rejected. So really, all ccTLD's are out from the looks of it.

From a business standpoint, it makes sense for them since ccTLD's have WIDELY varying prices and premium prices, it is better for them to not deal with the headache rather then have to deal with pissed off buyers.

We need another .tv auction, I have a feeling the next one run through here will go even better than last as traffic to this forum has increased.

I think this is an excellent idea Mindwrecker

Sundari,

My apologies,
Was asking as I was curious what .tv names were rejected by snapnames?
Were they premium renewal names?

Also had an inquiry on one of your names in your sig.

Thankyou.

I have been waiting MW for after the holidays I figure January hopefully. I figure with the recent stock market volatility, and Holidays people might not have too much extra money.

 

[Dr. Mindwrecker]

yea maybe that is a good idea, we dont want anyone unable to buy gifts due to domains

The snapnames live auction submission page just filters out all .tv, it does not get to any place where someone from SN actually reviews.

EQ, good suggestion, I've been having a hard time paying off just ONE purchase I made here some time ago. Finally getting that one done this week.

Oh ok, I wasnt sure if the names might have been rejected based on the quality of the names themselves. So they dont even bother to review .tv names...

Received this email response to my objection that .tv was not included in the Snap auction:

Hello Len,

Let me check on this and get back to you.

Many Thanks for your reply,

Michele Van Tilborg

Will update when they "get back" to me!

 

[sundari]

Thank you Mr. Len

Thank you Mr. Len. Our .tv members are all Awaiting your reply.

They have not accepted any .tv names for the auction.

At the first step they just go in through just the extension and not the quality of the names.

At the second stage they filter the names and their reserve prices.

It is painful to note that they have taken .mobis in to the auction.

I feel all our .tv comrades should insist on adding .tv extension in to this oncoming auction.

Our forum members can post their other domains extensions for this auction.

Sundari.

i mentioned this on the original snapnames auction thread some days ago,
tv domains are automatically rejected since dot tv si not recognised

 

[jeffoverman]

judging by things and past tellings our only solid chance is a moniker .tv auction and demand media is involved

Now with all this info and etc we can form our own .tv auction.

Richard has a nice platform and complex website for .tv names for us to use. That's good but we need to get word out on this loyal name pros member and bring in traffic

Back to live auction factor. We have a lot of brains here. 20 of us can form our own .tv auction. Its tiny bit early. I wrote all this up and told equity to delete thread. Come next year I need a new thing to do and I am tired of my main business and probably sell it and go into something internet related besides being a domainer or .tv co.

I don't know. So many positives in .tv and etc. We will get there folks. Next year will be indication for auctions I believe and we continue to develope things, register growth, sales growth and etc we will eventually have things going for us and people notice us.

Good luck on names.

Oh macau auction has 3 .tv names. I am considering in unloading my baby there lol. Maybe I will be the poster child for a day with a huge sale in .tv. Curious what the .tv names do in macau

i wrote them- they said this:

Hello Dottie,
Can I get back to you on this in the next week? The reason that we did not include .TV is that we have not had demand from our customers for the TLD.
Many Thanks,
Michele Van Tilborg | Sr. Product Manager




now, just a thought, but maybe everyone in here should be writing them, to show the "demand"
