Ammar (Ammudamus over at Namepros) one of the top .tv investors in the business just sold Mexico.tv for $10,000. Ammar announced the sale of Trading.tv on August 7.
It was sold for $9,000 at Sedo back in 2015.
He posted how it went down on Namepros
I just sold Mexico.TV for $10,000 in a private transaction. I know Mexico.tv has sold in the past a few times with premium renewals, but I picked this name up in 2019 and there is no premium renewal. Could it have been flipped for more? Sure, but anything can. I picked it up off the drop for $1,725 and probably have a year or two in renewal fees, so the ROI was something I was totally happy with.
The other thing sometimes you need to think about is, if you sell less, do you have more cashflow from that buyer on other assets. Can I build a long term relationship and generate more over the long term versus one sale? I have done this in the past, so that went into consideration as well.
The lead came through Uniregistry, but here is another important tip I learned. I contacted them via Uniregistry and the communication went dark. I also sent an email to the owner outside of Uniregistry. I got a few responses, but then it went south again. The key was I took the phone number I got from Uniregistry and added the number via WhatsApp. I sent multiple messages and after a few days, BOOM! The buyer responded. We worked through the process and the deal completed today. Try all methods of communication before moving on.
Congrats to Ammar.

This is an extension that has not done well long term, .io/.co/.ai and to a lesser extent new tlds have taken most of that market.
The wholesale value of name like Mexico.tv used to 10k, now that is the retail pricing,

i guess you could build out PLUTO.TV and sell it for $34O,OOO,OOO or TWITCH.TV for $97O,OOO,OOO
do you own a single domain name all you do is troll 24/7
Snoopy says
No domainer is “building out” their .TV domains into anything successful.
Those endusers wouldn’t have paid much for those names, probably reg fee for twitch.tv.
Kelly says
.com is trash as well little man with that logic. name one Premium Domain Name you own just one. you dont own anything. i think you are just a fake person that someone in the industry is using to post BS on domaining . com and by the way Jeff Bezos bought a .TV FOR 1 BILLION DOLLARS and you are no Bezos. mic drop
Snoopy says
The trash logic is you attempting to link large site sales with .tv domaining, it is a BS comparison. Nobody is making anything substantial from .tv domaining.
