It’s hard not to notice Music.tv is in today’s drop list, I hate to pass judgement but who would drop Music.tv? I wish I had more time to research the history of this domain and why it is dropping today, if anybody knows anything I would love to hear about it. Also Rave.tv, Buzz.tv, Exotic.tv, XTC.tv, etc are in today’s list, they all have premium pricing but what is so strange is Music.tv is premium priced at about $50, Rave.tv is about $1100, Buzz.tv is about $1100, XTC.tv is about $600, etc. this makes no sense, Verisign’s premium .tv pricing model confuses the hell out of me.
For those of you that don’t follow .tv they used to have what were called legacy premiums and these cost annual premiums, sometimes multiple $1000’s per year, then in 2010 they changed the system so premium domains just had a first year premium fee and then regular renewal rates like $25 a year, but they didn’t offer the old legacy premium domain owners this deal, they had to still keep paying huge annual premiums, the only way they could get the new deal was to drop their names and hope to pick them back up with a Name.com backorder if they were lucky enough to get that, but now that is no guarantee as Hexonet.net and Pheenix.com and others pick up premium .tv names sometimes. It is not a good policy imo.
So legacy premium owners that have been paying $1000’s a year for their domains have been dropping them here and there, but I hear Music.tv was only a $40-$50 a year premium so I am confused why somebody would drop this if this is true.
Here are the domain picks dropping on June 3rd 2014:
0J8.com – I always list 3C .com’s but I don’t always have much to say about them
1J3.com – And some have more value than others, this is not very valuable imo
Bogati.com – It looks like a name and some other things, maybe check for TM’s
BoneCare.com – I immediately thought Viagra lol, but probably has other uses
Collington.com – It’s a town in Maryland?
InTheMode.com – I think I like the in the mood play on words
MarketingYour.com – Marketing your dot com? It’s kind of like a .com hack
MyMaca.com – I used to make and sell a Maca root liquid, it’s a great plant
PaperBagsWithHandles.com – How about PaperBagsWithHandlesThatDontBreak.com?
PlumbingBoston.com – Great name, there is so much shit in Boston lol
PowerMinder.com – I could think of something to do with this, I like the word power
Quax.com – Maybe not radio friendly with quacks but I still like it
RRegister.com – I am programmed to notice the word register
Sound-Mix.com – I am also programmed to notice the words sound and mix
SpaceDrone.com – Estibot sees “spaced rone” but I see “space drone” and they exist
Web-Factory.com – Not sure it’s so great but I still noticed it so I’ll list it
Wife-Porn.com – Lots of searches for this, they can’t all be jealous husbands
Willmington.com – Not to be confused with Wilmington with 1 L, $7.5k Estibot value
Anal-Porn.net
Antagonize.net
BigCasino.net
eMaintenance.net
FundUK.net
GolfingPro.net

Domain of the day: Tempo.tv – Make me an Offer!
Thanks for visiting…
The history is interesting. They are all domains owned by Elequa, aka FMA, the large domainer/investor from Saudi Arabia. He lapsed on a few of the domain names that he had $25-50/yr renewals on. That being said, Verisign reprices some at 90% of the original renewal or at times defaults it to $1200. All a guessing game as far as I am concerned. The other major names have been renewed by FMA.
Thanks,
A
Thanks Ammar, I have been following .tv for a few years now and they still confuse me even more than Donuts lol…
Don’t see music.tv on Pheenix or Name.com. Also, the whois says Enom is the registrar so doesn’t Namejet auction off all the Enom domains?
Namejet does not auction Legacy premiums that have no regular renewal fee
Name.com is first come first serve and backorder is taken years ago.
Pheenix does not accept premium backorders, their owner grabs for himself only
So then you can’t try to get music.tv is what you are saying?
obviously is too late for such names, at this level most are backordered from 2010, pheenix does not allow premium backorders for clients, can only order at hexonet with very slim chances and if they win it will go very high at auction
Besides legacy premiums, NameJet only has exclusive auctions to Enom names that are in pre-release, if they are in pending delete then anybody can get them if they are fast enough…
Hello Mark,
Are you saying Music.tv will be a pure drop with no auction, 1st come 1st served?
If name.com wins, lucky backorder owner will take it with about $50 without auction.
If pheenix wins, their owner will take it, of course he will not auction with himself.
If hexonet wins, it will go high at auction.
Cheers mate, I’ll buy my name.com lottery ticket then. If I win the drinks are on me!
backorder of music.tv at name.com is taken from 2010 and as it is first come first server backorder system there, only one can backorder it
So no drinks for us then.
Thanks for explaining this to me, appreciated.
Only registrars that can register “premium” .tv names can go for it, which is Hexonet.com, Enom.com, Name.com, Dynadot.com, Pheenix.com and some others, they all have different systems, if you have the Name.com exclusive backorder and they get the name you will get music.tv for about $50 (cha ching), if you have a Hexonet.net backorder and they get it you will go to auction, bring a big bag of money for that auction, Bob at Pheenix.com will probably keep it for himself if he gets it…
Mark,
MTV music television is trademarked
that could be the reason.
Yea I am aware of that, I would fight them and my argument would be “when was the last time you actually saw music on MTV?” lol, and I have talked with Tien and he has had no issues with m.tv?
need this guy from NP to comment that music.tv does not worth $50.
troll start
Is music big at Tuvalu?
troll end
LMFAO…
Here we are amigo
Maybe Verisign will keep it like they do all LL.tv’s now?
Name.com grabbed it
You learn something new everyday in this business.
Well, learning domain name stuffs is really very confusing…. some quality names are dropped, we don’t know the reason why they are dropped…. according to me, it may be that the owner of domain names were died, met with accident, may be facing legal issues, may be suffering from serious illness… and many other things as well.
