eNom, VeriSign and Rick Latona Auctions partner to auction off premium .TV names without steep renewal fees.

Big news for .TV fans -

June 4th 2009, in Amsterdam, during the Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C. domainer event in Europe, Rick Latona Auctions will be auctioning off .TV domain names that normally have well above average premium renewal fees.

These premium names have been available for years but haven’t moved due to high fixed annual costs associated with them. The deal offered now is much more attractive.

Let’s take a look at a an example:

Satellite.tv will be auctioned off with a $30,000 reserve and the renewal fee is now only $750 per year. That’s an exceptional deal considering the renewal fee was $10,000 per year before. Now someone could really make a business out of this premium name.

Some others:
Domain Reserve New Special Renewal Fee
Help.tv $37,500 $1000
Home.tv $90,000 $1500
Traffic.tv $25,000 $750
Lawyers.tv $25,000 $750
Sales.tv $14,000 $750
Racing.tv $14,000 $750
Classic.tv $15,000 $750
Classics.tv $15,000 $750
Germany.tv $75,000 $1000
Today.tv $9,000 $750

One question that I am anticipating is whether or not these can be transfered. The answer is yes. As long as the names are renewed, they can be transfered at this special renewal fee. They can never be transfered out of eNom, however.

This is the first time these names have been offered like this and the chance may not come again. Please let us know if you have any questions or if you would like to apply for financing on one of the names.
