Check this out regarding .tv, RT.tv sells for $62,500. This happens all the time sales like this but almost always the are NDA. Outside of the United States .tv is very “hot”

Elliot,

It’s a typo. It’s crazy but ask 10 people have to spell
“foreclosures” and 50% will spell it without the “e”

Of all my “foreclosure” names which are all .com, I registered
many with the “typo” and many without the “typo” and the ones with the typo “without the e” get more type-in traffic on identical names.

I worked in Real Estate for many years in the 90′s for Remax and I realized most agents in my office spelled “foreclosures” without the “e” and therefore I say a buying opportunity on the typo. However, I have only bought typo names in the “foreclosure” area an it’s not what I am after.

Thanks, Jim

@Jim – Is it ForeclosedHomes.com or a typo? Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy talking about the industry and helping others. I’d like to see a discussion about how to get started with development.

Elliot,

There is a lot of money here and now and as you can see, I own ForclosedHomes.com along with 70 other “foreclosure” names so that is “here and now”

Buy the way, I enjoyed what you had to say at DomainFest
last week. It’s always my favorite domain conference to attend. Keep me posted on your Burbank.com site as well. I grew up in LA and I have relatives that live in Burbank.com and you have great potential with that name.

I live in San Diego and will be going to the Geo conference in April here and hope to meet you. Keep in touch.

Thanks, Jim Holleran

Well, i would have bought both but used and advertise only the .TV
I m from Europe and already know what .TV websites are before i enter them. i mean the use of .TV makes u trust the website you are about to visit, since u know its about media and video.
Webtv.com is good, but doesnt tell me so much as .TV

Cheers!
