This one would be strictly adult. :evil:

Pick or Pan. While you at it, please give an appraisal value too.

Thanks!

It's .TV so I can't seen any more than reg fee. No resale market in that extension that I have ever heard of (partly because of the initial high premium reg fees). Sorry.

$0.00

I've bought at least 10 .TV domains on the secondary market for $1,000-$5,000 each, so I beg to differ about their resale value. If the reg fee is below $500 per year, I'd say coeds.tv is worth anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. Hang on to it, Mindful, I think it is an excellent name for an adult site. IMHO, Tuvalu has absolutely nothing to do with the value of .TV.

Any more opinions out there???

"IMHO, Tuvalu has absolutely nothing to do with the value of .TV."

I appreciate your two cents ... but I disagree! .TV IS Tuvalu.

NetTuner - WHICH ".TV" domains did you purchase for between $1,000-$5,000/each? Just extremely curious. Thanks.
As a .TV, it's my opinion that this domain name has very limited upside, now AND in the future. Sorry.
Good Luck.

Mindful, this responds to your request for more opinions on Coeds.TV.

I think Coeds.TV can be the definitive information site on 1). coeds in Tuvalu, 2). coeds in television shows, and 3.) coed TV instructions.

1). I have frequently written the Ministry of Finance and Tourism in Funafuti, Tuvalu telling him about my interest in taking classes in Tuvalu. My only concern was what the coeds looked like. I suggested that he put up a site with some pictures of coeds to entice me and others to take classes in Tuvalu. He has never responded. Coeds.TV could fill that need!

2). In addition, internet searches about the coeds in television shows will land on your site. Just the other day I had a bitter fight over who played which role in Fox's low-rated college comedy “Undeclared”. Coeds.TV could fill that need!

3). Coeds are frequently mystified on how to turn on a TV! Your site could explain that mystery.

I guess the site could also be used for the adult purposes indicated in you post. But then again almost any word has some sort of “adult” innuendo. You could even register Carrot.TV and turn it into the adult site you are suggesting.

As 1+2+3 above adds -0- value and there is little inherent “adult” value in coeds.tv (of course if you develop it – it will acquire value – but Carrot.TV would also gain value if developed), I have to agree with the Duke’s appraisal.

Good luck.

 

[NetTuner]

Since the "official" appraisal seems to be -0-, I'd like to offer you $200 for this domain right now. Please let me know if you are interested in selling it. I think there may one day be a lot of demand for non-adult info about coeds in Tuvalu

do ebert&roeper do their show from that movie meca Tuvalu ?

Great name!
.TV has nothing to do with Tuvalu, unless you want it to. The most obvious meaning is still television. This week alone I've seen three equally memorable .TV domains make their way into the mainstream media - all part of the inevitable explosion of .TV. Well done for having the commercial savvy to capitalise on the trend!

It doesn't? Does that mean .us has nothing to do with the United States, .co.uk has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, .de has nothing to do with Germany? Did someone make up this story I have been hearing about those extensions being country codes?

Over the weekend I talked with one of the world's largest buyers of PREMIUM .tv names. He told me they were getting almost no traffic at all and he has now had to try to find .com names with a similar term and use those to redirect to his .tv sites.

If someone wants to build a site on one they work as well as anything as far as resolving in a browser, but thinking .tv is going to make money for you in the resale market for domain names is leaving a lot of people sorely disappointed. With their sky high reg fees, Verisign (everyone's favorite company) has already taken all of that potential profit for themselves.

Wow such a polarized discussion. I guess time will tell.

Remember... it's a fine line that seperates the visionary from the idiot.

Peace Out!

 

[NetTuner]

Duke,

The reason I said .TV has nothing to do with Tuvalu is that it's different than most other country codes because: a) Noone has ever heard of Tuvalu; b) TV means Television in every language. When someone sees a .us extension, they associate it with US, .co.uk with UK, etc., when they see .TV, they don't think Tuvalu because they don't know it exists. Why do I like .TV? Because it means TV and that has a natural appeal. As for traffic, I own many high pofile adult .TV names, and they are holding their own with some getting up to 100 uniques per day. The traffic is very targeted, so it converts well. Since .com, there has never been a TLD that got so many high profile companies developing quality websites, not to mention promoting them. I'd still rather have a .com anyday, but .TV is a great gamble on the future. Just my 2 cents worth.

P.S. If you are referring to Elequa, he didn't get his .TV domain for traffic, but for promotion, and so did many other companies. They did not choose .net, .org, .info, .biz, .cc, .co.uk, etc. to invest their advertising dollars in. When you combine the advertising and exposure of those sites, you get brand awareness, and that should eventually lead to more type-in traffic for the generic .TV's. It's already happening with mine.

I wish you hadn't said that! I'd rather think of myself as a visionary, but what if I am just slightly wrong!

Anyhow, you are right - we are arguing about the future and only the passage of time will determine who was right or wrong. I wish all you guys good luck. I always think it is best to weigh the information and follow your own convictions, rather than what other people tell you to do.

I was not referring to Elequa. I do know him and I once posted that if .TV is a sucess he will deserve much of the credit for it due to the excellent sites he has developed. I also said .TV should give him his .TV regs for free because he is the best promotion they have.

I'll admit that a lot of my bias against it comes from Verisign's artifically high registration fees. I worked in TV for many years so I understand the universal power of the term. I think if you are going to use it your best chance for success lies in marrying it with a term that is directly related to television.

I would agree that .tv in public eye stands for TV and not for Tuvalu.. Why? TV is international word, while almost no one has ever heard of Tuvalu. So theres no fear anyone would even think of it as it could be something else than TV. Also, considering that about 80% of people surfing the web dont even know what a domain is, and that there are differences between them, (many of them can hardly even type ), I think that .TV will in most cases be interpreted as TeeVee So if name suits TV, then its a good name for appropriate use and very good for development. However, we cant speak here about a resale price, since demand for .tv is low and until domain resellers show more interest, you can only develop it or sell to some company that either has a show named this way, or just wants to have it, or to someone with a vision to develop.

.TV is marketed as Television as .WS is marketed as Website.

Yes, well siad, that's what I have said
.TV stands TeeVee for most of people, and very few know it is actually a ccLTD of Tuvalu. TV is TV!!!

Right, however, .tv is more intuitive than what .ws does. IMHO.:razz:

I did not view what you indicated above as a disagreement with the appraisal. The reason is the appraisal given was on the current value. As soon as I improve my future value appraising I am going back in the stock market.

I agree that you could be correct on the future value. However, based on past and current TV resale trends and current sales, I stand by my current value appraisal.

Good luck
