.TM domain names

[faisj]

Hi everyone,

I found a nice <domain>.TM domain name but the costs $125,- at moniker!
(for registration only)

What should I do?
and howmany .TM domains do you own?

IMO this TLD is too expensive to compete as 'alternative TLD'.
Also I believe new domains are registered for an initial term of 10 years (!). It means an investment of more than $10K.

What is the best place to buy a .TM (best price?)

I can't access domaindiscount24.com, but I'm sure they were about 600 EURO there as opposed to domainsite.com's $1000.
The ten year reg period makes this too restrictive, I haven't seen any prices I would describe as good either...

You could also try some of these:

Not worth it unless a really good keyword (sex/poker/casino/travel/www/etc) or Turkmenistan related.
