.tv Why?? Mydir.tv $1000 bid on Sedo

[mckennaronnie]

Hey,

I noticed Mydir.tv on Sedo Auction with a bid of $1000 already, can anyone work out WHY this domain is getting a bid of $1,000?

I am puzzled why it would be worth so much but maybe i am missing something??

Cheers,
Ronnie

Yes, you are not in on the shill bidding.....!

 

[Rogor]

still time to scoop the tv.com

 

[poiuytrewq]

What is it anyway? The name of a character from Lord Of The Rings?

 

[mckennaronnie]

Now im ever more confused than before :hehe:

Millers what does Shill bidding mean???

 

[equity78]

Shill bidding means RONNIE that someone close to the owner bidding for him with no intentions of buying the domain. Being used to get the domain into auction and hoping someone else will bid higher for the domain.

A common abbreviation for My Directory taken in com/net/org/biz/info/us/co.uk/cn

and .mobi

 

[equity78]

Right and .mobi too has the domain registered. Dir.mobi is a big developed site by someone on the .mobi forum right ?

DIR.TV is a $10k premium ,

LLL.TV for $10k is ridiculous imo

If you desired a dir tv name then $1k for Mydir.tv would be a viable cheaper alternative.

 

[discovernow]

I would not buy that name even if it was a $9.99 Godaddy special.
Sounds like a "shill bid"

 

[TheBulldog]

My first thought was something like my direct tv for the sat dish company. But even directv wouldn't use that mess.

 

[mckennaronnie]

Cheers all, i get this Shill bidding now.

I knew something wasnt right about this one so thought i better ask.

Cheers,
Ronnie

 

[dcmike77]

Yea. But doesn't the shill bidder then have to pay the commission? Or does he simply become a deadbeat?

 

[WeBuyThe.Com]

Let's not assume anything until 2 weeks from now.
Who's to say someone is not bullish on .tv's?

 

[mckennaronnie]

Yeah i agree with the last post that we should not assume anything but you gotta admit it is a stangely high bid for that domain.

Though that doesnt mean the bid is in any way false, it may be worth that and more to somebody for reasons i cant see.

I hope it sells for a nice figure and the buyer goes through with it as Any decent .tv sale is good for the extension in my view.

Cheers,
Ronnie

i guess the buyers of six.tv and hot.tv overspent, eh? :D

Were they 10k premiums?, big difference paying $10k per year than paying $20k one off payment then a much lower premium.

Hot.TV was showing as $62,500 per annum on the day before the premium checking system down
