That is an awesome .tv domain.

I hope it sells for a lot higher then that.
We shall see in 6-1/2 days.

If someone here owns it, Good Luck.

i doubt it will go higher. its a cute name, sort of a hack, but wont make a strong brand imo.

i refuse to sell at sedo anymore on account of all the lame offers and unfulfilled sales. not just on .tv but across the board.

It will take many more players, Fin, to move away from Sedo before they bother to get off their asses and actually provide a service for the cut they get of the sales that actually go through.

Until that happens, I cant see them changing....

Watching.Tv to me is a very average name- it fits the ext obviously, but it is an awful brand IMHO

Sounds like an enduser, doubt anyone is going to bid.

Need to set a minimum bid, low offers are just a fact of life, happens at all venues.

^ Agreed.
Sedo is also home to manipulation in the guise of subsequent reported / published "sales", IMHO ... with only one bid, I would very much like to know who the ONE bidder / "buyer" is here and what their specific development plans are - time-after-time, notably with .TV's and some of the new and newer extensions, a reported "sale" results with ZERO follow-up development or promotion! :imho:

This is a (normal) Reg. fee+ domain name, in my view.
Best regards,

I would say this is less than reg fee - I wouldnt reg it if it was available.

Thats because Fin has stated that he is in no rush to develop and one other huge domain owner with thousands of sites in stealth mode...since 2003 apparently

Great TV domain, hope you get top dollar for it...

It would just be an offer that has been sent to auction. I don't find the sale/bid unusual at all. Lightening has to strike somewhere (ie enduser sales happen). I think the name is well above average for a .tv though, $3000 is highly infalted though I would say it is worth the registration fee.

It is worth what the enduser agrees to pay for it. I would have regged it at normal rate because I love the hack, and in marketing simple is better. watching.tv is simple, memorable and an answer many of us at one time or another answered.

What are you doing? "watching TV."

I can visualize an enduser making hay with that phrase, depending what profession that company is in, of course.

I you went by that logic then nobody would ever overpay for anything.

 

[freedom30]

I(f) you went by that logic then nobody would ever overpay for anything.

That may be only determined by the strength of the program the enduser plans to initiate, I would guess, and should have no bearing on whether you think the price is too high at the onset. You seem to automatically think that the venture will fail. That's a poor mindset to have for any business operator, you included.

I guess its just personal taste, i dont like hack type of names,

Not all hacks are the same...some are marketable and some are not. For the extension, it seems to be the only two word hack that's really used on a daily basis. The extreme few I do have I'm comfortable with.

Regardless of their plans the price paid might be market value, way too high or way too low. It is a bit like starting a restaurant, the owner might need to buy a block of land, and have a building constructed, buy equipment, fridges etc. The restaurant might do well but that doesn't automatically means they paid the right price for everything they bought.

Like I said if we follow your logic that whatever an enduser pays is market market then that would mean no enduser ever overpays or underpays for anything. People overpay/underpay for things all the time.

At times an enduser desires a certain name that fits his business model, even when there exist other similar names.

Not unlike that restaurant example you give, which may want to be in a specific location. I would assume that they fit that amount in the budget of their business plan that they had already laid out before purchasing the necessary material to build the establishment.

over/under paying for a piece of property is subjective, which can contribute to the reason that there exist speculators who purchase real estate, yet the one that is of most importance, I would venture to say, is the enduser who determines that the establishment is to be built here and nowhere else, whether it be a physical piece of property or a stake(or, if a restaurant, steak) in cyberspace. That may indicate if the price is too high for the enduser, the name is not bought as a prohibitive price was not in their budget.

I won't say you're right just as I cannot confirm that you are wrong. This is just my opinion. All I am maintaining is that, for a serious business enduser, the price settled on is in general the price that counts and was already added in the equation, as it should have been in their respective business plan.

This does relate to your other posts regarding endusers and domainers, however. What you or I may view as overpaying for a domainer very well may be the price that the enduser can cope with easily as it was already determined before its purchase. That makes the price justifiable, not to you or me, but to the business to be built.
