I have some .tv domains. Just wondered if they go for any kind of good money?

Is it better to be brandable?

Lets take as an example
watch.tv
stufffrom.tv
buyoff.tv

(these are not my domains, I am just listing them for examples)

What would they be worth? Are .tv good to get into?

Cheers
David

.tv is very good to get into imo. But like .mobi and other cctlds that brands themselves as something other then a country code, you need to buy names that works with the extension like watch.tv which you mentioned. I've sold tons of .tv names so far this year but right now I am on 'HOLD' as the extension grows in usage and popularity.

Great information! Thank you. Are you able to give some examples of domains and their sale prices? Or at least some rough sale prices without details of what names? Just so I get a ball park :)

Try doing a search at NameBio.com and limit the criteria to the .tv TLD.

The average price, according to NameBio, is $5,109 among 233 known sales. However, that average is skewed by the top selling domains (see below). The median price looks to be somewhere around $350.

Here are the top ten all time sales of dot-tv according to NameBio:

Golf.tv - $600,000
Free.tv - $100,000
China.tv - $100,000
Net.tv - $100,000
Six.tv - $25,000
DE.tv - $21,500
MoneyTalks.tv - $15,000
Med.tv - $13,167
BusinessChannel.tv - $10,000
Films.tv - $8,600

Well I have decided to be more specific. I have the domain iwatched.tv ... what are your thoughts on that one?

I have just put a post in the appraisals section but felt I should wrap up this thread with it too as you folks have been very helpful and the appraisals area always seems a little quiet :)

Just waiting for the nameservers to point over to SEDO but would love thoughts on the iwatched.tv domain name :)

Fingers crossed I made the right choice in aquiring it :)
