Mike did report way back a sale of OnlineCasino.dk at $580,000 in July of 2010. I have emailed Ron Jackson to ask why this sale was not listed on DN Journal.

Live.tv follows closely on the heels of Fashion.tv, Play.tv, and Fun.tv — which you reported yesterday.
Any thoughts on why this burst of .TV purchases is so sudden and concentrated?
Let me preface this is only my opinion and I have not spoke to Efim or anyone else at Cyber Tavern. I used to discuss .tv with Igal all the time, we chatted on Skype everyday for about a year. He always believed in .tv and I think he wanted top dollar. They certainly got top dollar on Live and Fashion imo, Play and Fun were prices he might have held out for more, but others within the partnership may have had lower expectations and took a nice sale. They still own so many great domains, 1 letter, 2 letter names etc…
VeriSign is picking up all dropping LL.TV. They so see the value. This is another factor we cannot ignore. A good strategy for all new registries. Give away LL as well. But pick them on the drops
They’re quality .TV domains, to be sure. I guess I’m just wondering why so many took place so quickly. Were they a package deal? Ordinarily, I’d expect high .TV sales to be spaced apart chronologically.
I don’t think so Joseph as these were different buyers, Fashion Television Media is out of Mexico and is launching a set top box. Live.tv had been leased for years, Igal first told me about the lease back in 2011.
I think Ammar saw the changes and reached out, these names changed hands at different times, Fun.tv was back in January, Fashion.tv was April.
This is more Ammar doing research and reaching out, I don’t think anyone at Cyber Tavern would have been reaching out to Ron Jackson and reporting these sales.
Multiple separated sales coming to light at a single time — that makes some sense. Thanks.
Given .tv’s history of very dubious high priced sales sales I’m sceptical and will be waiting for dnjournal to actually report it.
What about Beauty.cc for $1,000,000
So true. The list is missing at least these five names:
* beauty.cc
* music.mobi
* golf.tv
* game.cn
* mobile.net
Golf.tv did not sell for $600,000 the interview with Igal proved that, I think everyone knows that beauty.cc was bogus.
Game.cn and Mobile.net added as they were this year and was just going off older years
As you probably know new gTLD registries cannot sell or allow two character domains to be registered without applying to ICANN first and getting permission to do so and in any case ICANN won’t approve a two letter domain that matches a ccTLD
