I sold Vans.tv for $5,000. It has a $500 premium. Not an "earth shattering" price but a good ROI.
How does every thread turn into this nonsense. The thread was a reported sale by the thread starter. Nothing more, nothing less. Pretty sure Jim was not looking for validation.
Congrats on the sale.
Unless the investor owns one name then that isn't the ROI. Taking the good and forgetting the bad isn't how a return is calculated. Note again I'm not saying the OP has lost money overall, but I do not think there is money to be made hanging on to names of this quality with $500 renewals, do you think that is a profitable strategy?
I'm not interested in nit picking arguments with you, just real debate, do you think names like this was $500 renewals are genuinely profitable for .tv investors? Should this be held up as good example or is it just that 1 in 50 sale where the other 49 lose?
I don't know his personal finances, and I am discussing the topic and the roi on the topic Vans.tv. That was Vans.tv ROI. Unless Jim posts every name, every sale and all ppc revenue I have no idea is overall ROI.
There was no nitpicking just pure fact.
Snoop,
You have to be F-ing kidding - right???
Does DN Journal report how much each owner of each and every top 100 domain Sales of the year actually have invested in their entire portfolios...
or do they report the sales price?
Come on!
Usually you have a debatable topic, and sometimes even make sense...but WTF are you crashing this thread for today?
You got a hard-on for Jim? Pm him, but otherwise please STFU!
The bottom line is 5K for Vans.tv is a great F-ing sale!
The question isn't specific to Jim, again the question was,
"Do you think names like this with $500 renewals are genuinely profitable for .tv investors? Should this be held up as good example or is it just that 1 in 50 sale where the other 49 lose?"
If you aren't willing to give any opinion on that question then we'll just keep going around in circles.

If a post is laced with profanities, odd sexual comments and exclamation/question marks after every third word that is not something the most people would take seriously.

To suggest this is an example of .tv being profitable for people is a real stretch, he sold it for 2.5 times the reg fees paid, and to an enduser...
Sometimes holding generic Trademarks pays off! WooHoo.
But then according to Snoops... typo .com are even better!
Excellent thread...
In all seriousness. Good ROI on this LONE domain.. which, incidentally, is all that we're supposed to be talking about.
WTF?! Tell myself to STFU! Stop F-ing crashing!
Okay.. okay....
Congrats!
Vans since it's a automobile as well, there is no trademark on it. I am happy though on ROI.

congrats on the sale, did they mention anything about why they wanted it?
I have to commend the Vans people for not simply trying to "steal" the name via UDRP. Perhaps if the price had been much more that would have been their next move. Unless they have in-house counsel 5k is probably right around the threshold of total cost to file. But they did the right thing and bought the name fair and square.
