domain tshirts.tv and t-shirts.tv

[idevelop.tv]

Until recently I had paid $500 a year for 3 years for tshirts.tv. I then decided on the gamble by letting it drop and picking it back up on backorder. I won the backorder with some help from a .tv mate and I ended up paying the one time premium price of $1198.80 which was higher than expected.

So all up tshirts.tv has cost me $2,698.80.

What do you think its worth?

Im not looking to sell it, just interested to see what you all think.

I also have t-shirts.tv at reg fee, so I think that strengthens the branding a little more.

cheers

How crazy we have to do what you did to get the price away from 500 a year .
Well done on that ....can't make my mind up if I like the name or not
Good luck with it

I don't like product names but Shoes.TV went for $19K

I would say that I think the $1200 was an "overpay" but it's hard to say no when you've already invested $1500.

Picking up the T-Shirts.TV was a great move because it doesn't strengthen branding but it removes the most competitive .TV from discussion.

I prefer the singular TShirt.TV which, to show how unfair everthing is, appears to be a Gold Rush name. The value of your name is highly dependent on the valuation of THAT name as I would, as an interested party, enquire into both.

The tv.com/.net/.org are taken but they are all one company so it's difficult to say whether people think tshirt tv is a decent concept.

In my mind you'll probably make a profit but it won't come quick. As far as product goes - it's an interesting one because it's not high price/specialized but it is visual can I can envision it working and I think the .com recently went for decent money.

It's a hard one to really know. It's not worth $500/year imho so getting the backorder was a good deal for you. I always think that that $1100 backorders are when Verisign doesn't have a clue.. it's like some kind of default.

ISP - that's internet related - bump it up to $3K. Tshirts? errr... $1100.

It's a better name than Cheeseburger. I'd expect you to make a profit but it WAS a risky investment imho which at this point has become much less of one. It's now an easy hold at regfee and I'd expect you to come out on top with a pretty decent offer. I'm always surprised by product .tv values.

No specific value from me because in .TV land no one has a clue anymore. Even with the Backorder taken it would have been taken BECAUSE you had the premium and there was instant resale value to you.. not because it was the best name available.

Left alone? It would have been taken by someone, imho. And that says it was worth it to me, if you have the $ to spare.

I like product names to a certain extent and seeing that t-shirts are easy to sell via the net and many people do, I think it has legs.
Im not sure if I would of paid $2500 if I saw it on auction, but I was up to my elbows in it when we nabbed it on backorder, so it seemed the right decision for me.
I like the plural much better on all product names, it just makes more sense to me. I doubt shoe.tv would even get a $500 offer.
I see that tshirt.info sold for $1900 in May this year, so I think that is a pretty good comparison.
The hoops we have to jump through to own our premium names is nonsense, but hey thats life I guess.
cheers

Think it depends on the product. I think, with second consideration, the plural in this case is probably better. I don't see a "TShirt.TV" brand as much as "TShirts.TV" store.

I hope the investment works out for you in the end I definitely believe it's better than the .info by a way when it comes to development/store potential.
