.tv Winners, losers and those that you will be dropping

[MillersCrossing]

Hi,

I think this might just be an interesting thread for PREMIUM regges only. Could provide a snapshot of the past present and future of the premium .tv bandwagon.

Please list your premiums that you sold at a profit and those that you either sold at a loss or going to drop and how much that drop costed you, or will cost you if you do not get an offer by the time renewal comes around

I understand that many deals done were under DNA, I have a few myself. If you cannot divulge the amount, give your particular premium a rating of *, **, or *** rating, the more stars , the bigger the profits,

The same with your losses, if you do not wish to divulge how much you lost, if you can use the star rating system - one star is lost a little , two stars - last a fair amount, and three, you took a good old fashioned horse whipping.

I will start things off - in no particular order.

WINNERS

PI.TV - Cost me $500, held for one year and sold on Sedo for around $2500 mark of I remember rightly

DE.TV - Cost me and ATL.TV $6000 (two year reg upfront)- sold for $21k - split profits

THAILAND.TV - Cost me 2 x 1k - held for two years. Sold at a profit with a one star rating

SANJOSE - Cost me 2 x $500 - held for two years. at a profit with a one star rating

EDUCATION.TV Bought for $3000 - Sold at a profit with a three star rating

REPORT.TV - Bought for $500. Sold a week later for $750. (This name has interesting history . If I remember rightly this name was then flipped for $1500 +. However, just checked Ahead.Tv - this name is now available at $1500. So someone lost a small chunk of change on that one.

CAMBRIDGE.TV - $500 held for less than a year. Sold at a one star rating.

I am sure there were maybe a few more - cant really remember - so couldnt have been that great. - UPDATE - I just remembered to add Cambridge.Tv.

LOSERS

QUEENS .TV - $500 premium dropped after one year.
SOMERSET.TV - $500 premium dropped after one yer
SUSHI.TV - $500 premium dropped after one year (really wished i would have kept that one!!)
OMAN.TV - $1000 premium co-owned - sold at a loss of one star rating
WAIKIKI.TV - $1000 premium - dropped after one year
SAX.TV - $375 premium - held for two years and sold for around $120 dollars
GUNS.TV - $500 premium - held one year - sold at a very similar price to SAX.TV
MIC.TV - $375 premium - held for two years - sold for $25 (to a friend)
IPO.TV - joint partnership with ATL.TV $500 premium held for two years. Sold for around $800??
FIX.TV - joint partnership with ATL.TV. $1k premium x2 years. Name dropped
There may have been a couple more . Again, my memory is pretty poor.

STILL HOLDING

VID.TV - $375 premium x 3 years - and now renewal coming up in September time
TRADING.TV - $500 premium - holding for less than a year. Still undecided whether to renew.
CARE.TV $250 premium Paid times three years. (Will renew as this is a blog of mine)
DIY.TV - 1k premium joint partnership with Jimbo. My part ws $2500. We have it paid 4 until 2013

All of the ones that I have dropped have of course been raised to crazy prices now.

Overall, my profits from premiums was way more than my losses from pemiums.

Winners:

Domain*tv - $500 premium sold for £4,100
True*tv - $250 premium sold for $4000

Currently holding:

Yaa*tv - One of the few $50 premium LLL's
Encyclopedia*tv - $250 premium


Have no losers to report as I have been really frugal with premiums and only purchased those listed.

No winners or losers in the premium market yet, I pretty muich stayed out of it.


Holding:
Baccarat.tv $500 premium

Making a play for the future, I think that the U.S. government, in a bid to squeeze every ounce of money out of it's citizens will legalize online gambling down the road, on condition that every dime is tracked and taxed. While waiting for that to happen, I am fleshing it out with amazon links to books on baccarat and gambling.

Len - I remember both those sales - I think Domain.Tv was flipped extremely fast if memory serves me right.

Rogue - no pain no gain!!. Only joking - each to their own comfort level. Fingers crossed for bacarrat.tv.
