I am absolutely baffled.  Why would someone relist a domain in an auction on eBay FOR MORE MONEY when the previous auction received zero bids.  Can you explain that to me?

The owner of IT.tv (dot tv) did just that…

On Wednesday, August 15, you can watch and participate in Domain Roundtable 2007 at the Sheraton Hotel in Seattle, WA. Until the auction starts.  It turns out, they setup a live feed at uStream.tv and are now broadcasting a preview of the names available and also part of their DomainRoundtable conference. The conference is August 12th-15th. If you would like to bid on a domain name in the auction, you can register at http://www.DomainTools.com and participate from anywhere in the World.

Thanks to the efforts of Ray and Dottie, the team behind Auctionsite.tv, Ron Jackson mentioned the upcoming online .tv auction to occur on AuctionSite.tv, August 6 - August 10, on the lowdown section of DNJournal.com. 

.TV fans will be interested in an online auction of .TV domains coming up August 6-10 at AuctionSite.tv. A group of .TV aficionados banded together to develop the concept and site so the video-centric extension could have its own dedicated space in the booming

secondary market. A different set of domains will be auctioned off during each of the five days the event will run (starting at 2pm U.S. Eastern time each day). The names scheduled to go on the block include Map.tv, HS.tv, Republican.tv and hundreds of others. You can see the complete auction list here.

The following domain names are up for auction at Sedo.com.  Each name is followed by the amount bid (converted to US dollars if the native currency is not USD), the number of bids, the time remaining in the auction, whether the reserve has been met, and any unique hits if specified by Sedo.  All auctions still have two or more days remaining before they close:

cash.tv--------$7,365--1--2d 45m------(reserve met)
british.tv------$1,378--11-2d 22h 42m-(reserve NOT met)--219 unique visitors per month
webb.tv-------$125----1--3d 5h 42m---(reserve met)--55 unique visitors per month
fantasias.tv---$1,378--1--4d 11h 1m---(reserve met)--515 unique visitors a month
erection.tv----$2,000--1--5d 5h 28m---(reserve met)
oral.tv---------$2,750--1--5d 5h 42m---(reserve met)

First and foremost, I would want to know whether any .tv names carry premium pricing under the Verisign pricing structure before I even considered bidding on them because renewal pricing influences a domain’s value more in the .tv extension than other extensions…
