To renew or not to renew

[autopsy]

hello,
I have a few .tv's ready to expire in a few days to a month. I know most of them are complete garbage, but some may have some potential. I would like to know if any of them are worth renewing, or should I drop them all! Or if anyone is interested in a quick sale for them they can contact me.

travelchannels.tv - I realize the "channel" idea is basically dead, and this is the plural form, but it could be used as a directory sight, travel is a good key word.

swimmingchannel.tv

unreleased.tv

boundaries.tv

fullaccess.tv

zoos.tv (this one I have an interest in developing one day, so i may renew regardless)

barrow.tv (northern most city in US)

jazzercise.tv

teddies.tv

wifeswap.tv

ledlight.tv

collegeparty.tv

birdhunting.tv

eastwood.tv

Thanks!

You should let all of these go and be more selective with future registrations. A lesson that we all must learn at some point. IMO.

Hi,

First of all, you should be very selective when it comes down to who you take advice from. Some domainers have failed so badly at domaining that they believe that the domain extension is to blame... instead of putting the blame on themselves. It truly makes me sick since these people are usually the most vocal and most eager to share their "appraisals" with others.

back to your domains... (IMHO) in todays' market, if you're looking to flip to other domainers... .tv is not the right extension unless you're holding some highly coveted gems. If you're looking to flip to actual end-users, then you have a few strong possibilities from the list above but you've got to be proactive and hunt the end-users down, usually educating them about the extension in the process... but don't wait for them to find you. Or you can simply begin the development process yourself and see how quickly you'll attract potential end-users.

You have a few great domains that I would hold on to if I were you (for either resale or dev).

Zoos.TV is a keeper. If you don't want to renew it, I'll give you $40 for it today.

You have another in the list that could prove to be lucrative for you... if you play your cards right. It will take a little work... but it could be a diamond in the rough. PM me and I'll tell you which one.

either way, good luck.

Ain't that the truth! Seasons greetings. :santa:

collegeparty and birdhunting.

you might as well return "borrow" to its bored owner. even Google will be confused.

but how in heaven's name could you, did you come up with wifeswap? did you have some kind of a muse?

 

[autopsy]

I don't understand the joke about borrow, its barrow. As for wifeswap, it is a well known tv show so it isnt exactly off the wall, although there would be tm issues.

 

[Jessica_ph]

well then it's a typo, lol.

i stand corrected.

i liked jazzercise , sounded like a visual site members join to do live classes with ?

happy to agree about zoos and yes some people have strange agendas ??

regarding channels , i think they are great way to get good keywords onto a site , i know i am not the only one who likes channels , its further down the road when more are developed they will be noticed i think, i have an adult channel name that has had over 8,000 views in a 2 months , not making money yet though.

good luck

zoos, teddies and also eastwood.tv are interesting all the rest I would drop.
The only .tv I ever bought I did´t renew and will not invest money in this extension.

hello,

i drop them all but fullaccess.tv. sell zoos to mrrhee or the highest bidder. in fact it'd be cool to see a thread auction around here again.

yeah, i know. that was meant to be a lousy joke. thanks. i just mistook "a" for "o" in barrow. my bad.

as for wifeswap, i was not aware it's a show so apologies to autopsy. "little knowledge is dangerous." i guess you could say that also to those who mock this extension.:P

 

[MicroGuy]

sell zoos to mrrhee...

Agreed. Except, I think you should take the $40 and register a couple really good .TVs from the daily deleted lists and let these drop. IMO.

 

[HappyDay]

@finster I really don´t need a tv extension my domain LEDTV is enough But good luck with all your tv sales.

 

[autopsy]

Thank you guys for all of your replies. I would sell zoos, only I really would like to develop that one day more out of personal interest. I have visited many many zoos across the county and would like to one day build a site where people could submit their videos and have sort of a video tour of any zoo they would like.

Finster....I think fullaccess.tv has some potential..... to me it is somewhat marketable with the .tv extension because you would get full-access to tv online through some sort of subscription.... Finster is that the same reason you think to renew that?

no one seemed to like unrelased.tv.... I see it as not that bad as it could stream some things that were unreleased on tv or not yet released, or music not yet released.

I have had people in the past told me they like teddies.tv... i have no clue why... if someone could tell me how it is fitting whatsoever please enlighten me. I dont know why I picked it up other than it being a one word.

eastwood.tv.... some people have also told me they like. not sure why other than clint eastwood... it is brandable i guess.

Im getting some different answers from you guys, and understandably so. Its just that I want to make the right decision as far as renewing them for future investment. I have lost a lot of money in this extension. I want to try to earn it back as i believe this extension has a lot of potential as tvand internet continue to merge. THANKS

Also, I was interested in acquiring aquariums.tv so that i could point it to zoos.tv one day. I looked up the registrar information... it is registered through the year 2038... and the registar brand is tv corporation. its just that I never seen a .tv registered for so many years.... in fact there is speculation of course that Tuvalu wouldnt even be around. that long. Can someone tell me more about this?

 

[gwkg]

Wifeswap you might be able to sell on gfy.com

 

[benzdorf]

i dig

Take eastwod and build a mini clint eastwood documentary using you tube clips placed coheively via a time line..using mogulus/livestream ; kinda like what i did with kubrick.tv check it out.. its real simple and to the point.

You defintly have some decent stuff there and like that one guy said..seek out the end user..they are out there.

zoos << real cool.. " ill give yeah fiddy "

 

[leoZ]

who owns GFY.com ?

 

[autopsy]

I would love to develop eastwood or zoos like you have said... only I dont know how. I have attempted to develop other domains before with little to no success. Can anyone show me a decent template or guide and Im sure I can teach myself. I do know about the development thread. However, could someone recommend a particular script that would be great for a .tv site, preferable one where I could organize youtube clips. For instance if I wanted to create a timeline of eastwood films.... i would like to link a page to his movies made in the 70s and bring up a page of clips, 80s on a different page, and so on. This is just an example.

 

[benzdorf]

Like i said in that PM ill take zoos off your handz..for that price u quoted me..get back to me..
