If there are buyers willing to pay $100,000+ how come it sold for half ?
Interesting statement and one that would make a valid point if this were the 'tale of a sale'. However, it didn't actually sell for half. It was
registered at $50k - and that's what makes this event one of those special moments.
And the first person to register it is seen by at least a dozen others, who were also in the line to buy it, as one very fortunate buyer. Forget the price, he GOT the name first. With a name like Sports.tv, any price below $250k is almost a 'steal'. Ask the man who owns D.tv - he supplied that same lesson this week.
Some people, including myself, may not understand the 'actual' .tv market, but the buyer of the name most certainly does and is to be congratulated for having the faith of his convictions. Convictions built through deal after deal with high-level .TV names
The good thing for .Tv is he is not alone. He has many other .TV investors and thousands of endusers to keep him company.
No vote from me either - what's the point? Let's examine the facts in a years time and deal with the 'reality' of what happened in TV land at this moment in time.
