First 7 Figure .TV Domain Name Sale To Be Reported “Within A Week To A Fortune 500 Company”??
According to a comment left on TheDomains.com on our post about Verisign’s renewal of the .TV contract, the first seven figure domain name is going to be reported to DnJournal.com “within a week”
The commentator goes on to say that the .TV domain name sale is in escrow and is being purchased by a Fortune 500 Company.
“”First 7-figure .tv sale to be reported to DnJournal within one week”
“”Just waiting for payment to escrow acct.”
“”Buyer is fortune 500 corp., domain is two word financial term”
“That’s all for now”
It would certainly be great news for .TV investors actually all domainers if this sale does in fact go through and if it gets reported.
Over the years we have heard about six figure .TV domain name sales but all have been under NDA’s.
If in fact a Fortune 500 company is the buyer of the domain name, its truly huge news.

Domain business is as good as comedy full of BS
let’s hope if this is true the board will at least fire the ceo.
Why risk the deal with talk? Some ppl are just clueless.
I just need to get out of the asylum and contact the Nigerians interested in the name. Can only say it contains letters.
I read your blog often…i found it on NameBee.com. You write very interesting articles. My favorites are the Sedo and Afternick saleslist.
Have a nice Sunday and greetings from Berlin
We’ll find out in a week if this is real or another BS.
A Fortune 500 company doing a 7 figure deal and just doing it through escrow.com ? hahaha you domainers funny
Any seven figure sale for any domain for any TLD is great news. On the other hand, if true, someone was convinced to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
David is that saying no .tv is worth 7 figures ?
Firstly let me say, i do like .tv, ok done, now let me say why on earth would anyone feel a domain blog comments section was the best place to let people know about a 7 figure deal that is not yet concluded??
a huge pile of stinking poo imo.
I call BS!!!
BS!!!
7 figures for a 2 word .TV?
lol
looooooooool

Time will tell, but I had 6 figure offers on .tv, and this would not surprise me and I been buying and selling .tv since 2000 right when they came out.
A “To be Announced” Fortune 500 company (TBA TV) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which TBA TV has acquired the domain “TBA”.tv (also to be announced) from privately held Don’t Believe You, a leading intellectual property holding company, for seven figures in cash and stock.

If true, any guesses? Mortgage Rates, Mutual Funds, Save Money, Auto Insurance, Insurance Rates, Life Insurance?
I don’t see the sale price being so far fetched if it’s a good call to action domain in the financial industry, and the company uses it to advertise on tv and everywhere else.
Many Fortune 500 companies are flush with cash right now, and again it may be a perfect fit for their marketing campaign. I guess we’ll see soon if it’s true.
That was laughable and I love the cash and “Stock” wow this industry is just one big joke.
Very possible IMHO. Thanks for the heads up Mike.
We will see what we will see.
I like how are you are putting that poster on the line. Hopefully he or she is not making it up.
For a fun guess I would say WallStreet.Tv
Don
@ First 8 figure .tv sale to be reported soon
Correct. I don’t believe any dotTV is going to sell for seven figures cash. Cash and stock, of course, but that could be any ratio.
I would like to see dotTV, or any TLD for that matter, sell for seven, eight or nine figures. Present reality is a different story.
Latest news–breaking news
“BullS” sold for 10 trillion USD
1$ Cash and 99%stock
IPO coming soon.
.tv 7 figure sale?
Indeed yes say I.
7 figures of Greek drachmas the truth be.
All of you are dumbasses if you don’t know what name it is.
PrivateJet.tv. Duh!!
WallStreet?
Imo a dot tv can be operated without a dot com
which means i could easily see a dot tv domain selling for 7 figures
eg why would wallst.tv HAVE TO HAVE wallst.com ?
If it turns out the .com owner wanted 8 or 9 figures ya never know
Drum roll…….
Apple.tv
At least we know Verisign has a deal through 2021, hopefully not based on the Mayan Calendar. The lack of commitment and offshore legal rules were always the most risky part of dotTV for me.
I just wonder when Microsoft will do something with WebTV.com or CBS with TV.com. IF those haven’t become the principal sources of video content distribution to the world by now, and Hollywood is making original programming for YouTube and Yahoo instead, what hope is there for .TV except maybe Apple.TV which will change TV which was always the second most risky part of dotTV investing for me.
Ray- no that url would be spoken “Hey Siri turn on shark tank and send the robot in with another cold one!”

If it turns out the .com owner wanted 8 or 9 figures ya never know

I think this is a very valid point/consideration if the buyer is going to develop an online video site.
Are people worried about the tv registrar?
Is this why Costello and others are skeptical about someone paying 7 figures for a .tv domain name?
Which brings me to my next question..
If a registrar failed in some shape or form, what would happen to the existing registrations?
Does Verisign have a contingency plan?
so, the question is, assuming this is for real, who has TBAtv.com?
the buyer?
if not, whomever has it may be in for a nice windfall as the buyer pursues an aggressive marketing campaign trying to recoup their investment.
vrsn is now paying 4-4.5MM/yr for .tv
according to their 10k
Who ever that is interested, i have pend.tv
Let me know.
the answer is privatejet.tv
I’ve bought dozens .TV because I believe that this TLD will have a bright future
Maybe some hope for my .tv names after all , blonde, bikinis, samples, rod, 3dtv, hd3d, dieters, if they dont sell i will develop them all over time, anything is possible in the world of domaining that’s why so many do it, i have streammoives because it suits the extension but i must admit there are some shockers in this extension, verisign have resigned for five more years , regards !
Whoops …….streammovies.tv (currently redirectling to an affiliate site)
“just waiting for payment to escrow acct.”
Aren’t we all!
Ditto the comment of Dr. Chris Hartnett. Simply wait to see. I do believe the domain industry will begin to pick up when the economy does.
First a $30m domain sale rocks the domains news, and now this!
Not bein funny but until escrow payment clears its more likely just some kid joking around, for the lulz.
Pretty odd that unsupported or anonymous posts/press releases become headlines these days simply because they contain a number higher than commonly expected.
If the sale turns out to be real then *awesome* congrats to both parties, if it turns out to be lulz then great one kid – you really got em lmaooo
One can always tell the following from these kinds of threads with PR stunts:
- idiots
- gullible
- fools
”Just waiting for payment to escrow acct.” LOL
Certain ‘old-timers’ commenting here should know better.
I’m guessing Hartnett has been holding a bunch of crap even tho’ he was earlier than most..
NEWBIES: don’t be the type of person who owns “gens” like these:
- ctivist.com
- forensic3d.com
- samedaymarketing.com
Don’t be that chump.
Oh – in before the idiots come in with their fantasy 6 figure offers for their .TV (they’re
waiting for 7 figure offers) & “similar” domains asking for appraisals
Mr Aggro
I assume you post your opinions on irrelevant names here rather than your own site to get your views across to a much wider and broader audience?
Much respect and <3 to you.
DayTrading.tv
LiveTrading.tv?
CreditCards.tv, MobileWallet.tv ?
Ok due to the enormous amount of pressure and doubt I will reveal the name
privatejet.tv!
Remember the .com fetched 30 MILION!
lol funny.no .tv is ever going to sell for that much…ever!
I’m a huge fan of .tv and yes, low six figures offers happens for the best names.
But I hardly doubt that any .tv can reach 7 figures in a near future.
With this economy is hard to even find someone to pay that money for a premium .com
@ First, ha ha. That was very funny!
It could be StockMarket.tv. That thing was listed for sale; now it doesn’t resolve.
That would be an excellent dot tv, ideal for real time charts and [financial] news streaming!
7 figures wouldn’t be too high for a sale like that!
Here is what the Google results USED to look like:
google.com/search?q=site:stockmarket.tv
I’m a genius. I know it. I know it. Sorry.
I like .tv, I ve invested in .tv’s and made money from it but I seriously doubt that a 7 figure .tv sale has happened.
Just got this update on a comment left on on the original post:
“”"at the 11th hour, they forced us to sign an NDA – sorry for the hype
“”money has cleared escrow, $1.35mm (we picked up this domain for less than $2000, four years ago)
good luck, all”"
