Nice piece Ray.

I'd love to see a piece like this every week. It seems so much is happening these days with regard to sales and developments - and the vast majority of stuff is away from, or not reported on NP.

I think everyone here knows you or, at least, knows of the high-standing and good reputation you have in this industry. I think a concise piece like this would easily become required reading.

Looks like 70.tv and yo.tv went fairly cheap!

For how much?

And congrats to Manos and Jimbo!
Check the backorder prices at Name. They're just a bit more than the actual registration fee.

Every week there are some nice .TV acquisitions some which I'm sure aren't publicized.

i checked 5 or 6 of these and none of them appeared to be regd for 5 years. just a year each.


Korea was a nice catch for someone.

i checked 5 or 6 of these and none of them appeared to be regd for 5 years. just a year each. about half of them have been listed available for purchase at the following prices:

Buy 1 $199
Buy 2 $350
Buy 5 $600
Buy 10 for $1K

maybe some good deals, eh? i have noticed the .tv market picking up a bit lately.

Very Interesting.

A few weeks back we saw the GeoRealEstate.tv craze...now all of the GEOTravel.tv's have been picked up on the drop.

Will they sell for those prices???
The prices sure sound very fair.

Who knows what the next trend wil be?

Some great sales to start out the New Year also. Congrats Manos, and Jimbo.

2011 is the year of .TV!!!

:)

No Fin I meant they were regged for five years and then dropped.

lol.

the majority of 'this weeks activity' was my drops.

--

the xxxxxxtravel.tv were all dropped by me.

equity is right - i had them for 5 years - and then decided I did not particularly like them any more and deleted them.

I am not particularly interested in the small flips (due to time constraints mostly so that only happens if I have a free spell) and I realized i was never going to really spend any development energy on a domain with two negatives [two words plus .tv]

this is not to say that there is not some value there - they are OK domains and probably worth exactly what they are priced at -- about $100 / piece in bulk. but i would wonder exactly how much risk-adjusted upside there is from there for a domaineer purchaser.

i would not read too much into this in either direction - it is not opportunities galore and it is not 'omg, .tv sucks' and I am not sure it is a trend either since it is the sum total of 5 minutes of thinking by me, one night, a couple of months ago.

--

korea.tv was also my drop and that one is an easy one - the renewal was absurd given the current environment.

with the elimination of renewals, we have market-clearing prices on great domains and, for better or for worse, they are generally a lot lower than they would need to be to justify high renewals

Funny how news of a whole lot of drops and PuertoRico.tv selling for $7000 can somehow form the basis of "a good week".

First off can you read ? Who said good ? Do you know the difference between decent and good ?

Secondly PuertoRico.tv wasn't even the top sale for the week as Galleries.tv sold for $7500 along with snappy.tv at $4000.

What is really funny is how you have no life.

I was suggesting PuertoRico.tv was an unimpressive sale. Similarly a whole lot of drops by a .tv domainer isn't a sign of "a decent week".

I see the recycling continues. Guess this pattern will continue repeating again and again.

I think we all see the recycling continuing now you are back. Snoop says it, Giraffe-boy says it, you say it. Mantra-time!

But, no, you don't have to repeat and repeat again, you could just unfocus on some crappy two-worders that were dropped and picked up and instead deal with the facts.

And the facts are that, following a truly game changing year, in first few days of 2011 there have been some very healthy sales and no abatement in demand from the people who actually count as far as .Tv is concerned... the endusers.






It must be hard to be negative when genuine multi-thousand dollar sales are happening every day, but I wish you and your bedfellows all the best in your endeavours.

Enduser demand was never strong if the first place though, yes the regular two sales in dnjournal each week has not abated though. (..and don't forget the NDA's!)

"Genuine multi-thousand dollar sales", is that supposed to sound impressive?
