US.tv HAS BEEN SOLD!!!


Just thought I would let everyone know that after a good round of negotiations the name US.tv has been sold (and monies received) this week.

The buyer does not want to disclose their name or the amount it was purchased for. But I am very happy and I wish them well.

The only information I can supply is that the buyer is NOT Simon Cowell and the funds for the name came from Asia.

I would like to give a big thank you to Donnied79 for his incredible help in acting as a neutral middle man during the sale. His efforts enabled the negotiations, sale, and transfer of name and funds to go so incredibly smoothly.


In further developments I would like to mention that a second deal has also been made - this time to Donnied79 himself for LIVERPOOL.tv - I knew this was a name he always wanted and his help in the US.tv deal made it a reality.


I would also like to convey my great thanks to TheDotStop for his recent purchase of ELECTRICIAN.tv from me
- the price is not important for this sale other than to say it was the price the buyer wanted to spend and the seller wanted to sell - and it helped put the name in the hands of a great guy.



A final sale worth noting is that of ED.tv which I recently sold to a very nice Canadian buyer.


I know there was a lot of talk about US.tv over the years, and the name did have two fairly significant offers in the past (plus dozens of small offers) but I was eventually persuaded to sell after a recent personal incident which made me realise that I was at ‘that’ point. That far off day in the future when you think you would like to start using your digital assets to acquire the money for some of the nicer things in life - like a bit of travel, your family or hobbies.

(or knowing most of the people here the day when you want to swap names for wine, women, fast cars, church and charity - although not necessarily in that order!)


For those who are interested, the sale of US.tv now signifies that I am very much in the SELL mode and will aim to reduce my portfolio from the 825 names it presently stands at to less than 25 over the next couple of years. I told everyone all along I was a developer over domainer - and now I have the names I want for the new phase of life.

And yes, this does mean that I will be happy to listen to offers for some of my better .tv names such as MUSIC and SCHOOL, even DEUTSCHLAND and STUDENT

I will put names up for sale as and when I feel the time is right, but among those I am happy to discuss right now will be:

microphones (tv), selfbuild (tv), script (tv), estateagency (tv), narrowboat (tv), association (tv), celebs (tv), breathe (tv), charities (tv), nuclear (tv), cruising (tv), mums (tv), walk (tv), poems (tv), clock (tv), gymnasium (tv), incentive (tv), bowl (tv), funding (tv), translation (tv), interesting (tv), competition (tv), puzzles (tv), julia (tv), stefan (tv), communications (tv), saints (tv), highstreet (tv), kultur (tv), wirtschaft (tv), zahnarzt (tv), khan (tv), bookclub (tv), weekend (tv), writers (tv), pilots (tv), recruitment (tv), fruit (tv), superstars (tv), telecoms (tv), oap (tv), heritage (tv), stunt (tv), joking (tv), jeweller (tv), confidential (tv), pensioner (tv), sheds (tv), menopause (tv), migraine (tv), days (tv), list (tv), conservatory (tv), canals (tv), stationery (tv), gardener (tv), experts (tv), motorist (tv), louisville (tv), edinburgh (tv), cambridge (tv), salisbury (tv), yorkshire (tv), warwick (tv), somerset (tv), dorset (tv), hastings (tv), iow (tv), norwich (tv), york (tv), newcastle (tv), cumbria (tv), derbyshire (tv), lakedistrict (tv), iom (tv), portsmouth (tv), bolton (tv), windsor (tv), southampton (tv), plymouth (tv), stoke (tv), hairdressing (tv), weddingday (tv), kualalumpur (tv), milk (tv), motorists (tv), heizung (tv), ukn (tv), volunteers (tv), factual (tv), update (tv), kennel (tv), brussels (tv), features (tv), surveyor (tv), start-up (tv), konferenz (tv), rivercruise (tv), surveyors (tv), pensioners (tv), estateagent (tv), buytolet (tv), parking (tv), co-op (tv), belong (tv), quotation (tv), climbers (tv), companion (tv), scarlet (tv), supermarkets (tv), bidder (tv), sweatshirt (tv), display (tv), electronics (tv), hairdresser (tv), optician (tv), lads (tv), dementia (tv), expat (tv), recycling (tv), fostering (tv), ukv (tv), hottub (tv), pubguide (tv), holidayhome (tv), houseplans (tv), hayfever (tv), pubquiz (tv), forecourt (tv), bing (tv), classiccar (tv), fireservice (tv), filmclip (tv), filmclips (tv), onthisday (tv), americanfootball (tv), filmcrew (tv), rounders (tv), tiles (tv), locksmiths (tv), visitor (tv), choir (tv), funeraldirector (tv), cvs (tv), croquet (tv), wnr (tv), dailybusiness (tv), planthire (tv), toolhire (tv), midwife (tv), council (tv), publicrelations (tv), diabetes (tv), natural (tv), caravan (tv), telephone (tv), advert (tv), patient (tv), gardeners (tv), bowls (tv), survey (tv), ticket (tv), journalist (tv), accountant (tv), chemist (tv), jewellery (tv), building (tv), parkinsons (tv), resume (tv), encyclopedia (tv), waterways (tv), classiccars (tv), confectionery (tv), cushion (tv), publishers (tv), journalists (tv), graphic (tv), three (tv), expert (tv).


The sale of US.tv, of course, now means that I no longer have plans to use the name as the channel name for my proposed travel across the US filming all the quirky things I see along the way in a reverse (and televisual) version of Bill Bryson’s ‘Note From A Small Island’. How lucky the world has just been made!

Good domains are winning lottery tickets with the dates missing!

Thank you and good luck to all.

Congratulations on the selling of US.tv
Wish me luck on my sale for a very very similiar hyphenated domain: U-S.tv
Thank you

Note: error above, it's for a future sale of U-S.tv... since it has not sold yet

In further developments I would like to mention that a second deal has also been made - this time to Donnied79 himself for LIVERPOOL.tv - I knew this was a name he always wanted and his help in the US.tv deal made it a reality.

Liverpool.TV is one of the greatest domain names in all of creation.

James, it has been a real pleasure (as always) making business with you.
I'm happy we've found a deal that is satisfactory for you and for the buyer.. And I also love Liverpool.tv
There are a lot of amazing domains in your portfolio and I think you'll be able to sell a lot of them in a quick amount of time

It figures that Rafa Benitez wound up as the new owner of Liverpool.TV.

 

[RBCDNs]

Awesome and inspiring. Love the .tv names.
Donnied79: Was there a cut for making the deal happen?

Yes, Liverpool is a city and a football team in my heart.. I was there to see Liverpool - Inter in 2009 Champions League and it was by far the best crowd I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). I also remember we went to drink a beer in a pub after the match and people were simply amazing. They took us in a lot of pubs in the city, gave us scarfs etc... Unforgettable.

It's that kind of name that just needs to find the right buyer, negotiation has been quite easy with no need for cuts!

I can appreciate the sentiment. The hair on the back of my neck rose when I heard the fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone the first and only time I was at Anfield. Even listening to the video of the game you are probably referring to gave me goosebumps. Anfield is the most hallowed ground in football, a fact that even Arsene Wenger acknowledge (over Arsenal's own Emirates).

Awesome! Can you share some pointers for finding the right buyer please? That's a task that I'm having a hard time getting a grasp of. Thanks in advance!

You might want to start your own thread on that topic.
Also, you could search the forum and I'm sure you will find many threads related to finding end users.
Good luck and Happy Domaining.

James - nice one! Good luck with it all. Hope to muster up an audacious offer or 2 for your fantastic names if only to get one of the polite 'thanks but no thanks newbie' messages for nostalgia's sake : )

 

[GoneWalkabout]

First things first. Thank you to the almost 1700 people who read this post over the past few days. Looks like .tv is still of great interest!

Also, a very special thank you to the people who posted with congrats or simply like the news that the name US.tv sold. Yes that’s you:

Cyberian, johname, Avtar629, usernamex, HotKey, Rinkuji, RJ, Julio, domainacrobat, michal, mwzd, Cate.tv, pchip, noonoo1, donnied79, Rich, Media Branding, mitch007, carob, venturefile.com, DU, aspecht, jideofor, barcher, deez007, sofiapartner, kandyan, ison, GravityEleven, elevator, Jim Holleran, Skyvisum, Manusakos, Grilled, LucidDomains, Messiah, Aaron Allison, Silentptnr, Casey L., Insha010, fuzzy, Haris100, 168, BullDomains, skyz21, slader23, Jman92, Rammbo, PAINC, Mark White, tldboss, Nikhil Jain, youaintme, garptrader, shuttlepro, hugegrowth, omelet, JCR, Kazi, RBCDNs, and TJ1897

As the Donald would say: "you're all beautiful people"

So, a few days later and, of course, most of the money is already spent or is earmarked for new plans and fun things I want to do. There is a also new trip being planned. (so watch out fellow NPers I could be in your area soon demanding we have coffee)

There has also been the purchase of a new camera for filming so GoneWalkabout is now very happy that his ugly face will be in great focus when it finds itself inadvertently in shot.

Since I first posted I have also had a number of discussions with people here on Namepros and I can advise that I have gone on to sell:

THREE.tv
CELEBS.tv
EDINBURGH.tv
BRUSSELS.tv
ELECTRONICS.tv

These were sold at prices the buyers were happy (genuinely) to pay and I was happy (also genuinely) to sell. The full Yin Yang circle of complementary buying and selling is now complete on an extra five names.

I have also had a good look at some my names and put together a big list of 108 .tv names for immediate sale. These include a few that are at the quality end of the market and some slightly more in the bargain corner - so hopefully everyone will have something to choose to their own taste/budget. The list, which includes RECRUITMENT WEEKEND MILK and PARKING is her at NP for anyone with an itch for a great name or two:

The two best days of owning a domain:

The day you buy it...


...And the day you sell it!


After the sale of US.tv I'm quite enjoying selling a lot of other .tv stock and have already managed to find happy homes for a few of my other names in my big sale:

https://www.namepros.com/threads/an...tv-milk-tv-and-parking-tv-prices-from.999691/

(BTW: Prices have been reduced again to ensure I reduce my portfolio)

As for US.tv - I'm missing it a little bit but I've already had some new interest in MUSIC.tv so, who knows, maybe there may be some even more interesting news down the way.

The goal to get from 825 names to 25 continues....
