You need to ask yourself why you are regging .tv names. There is no wrong answer its your money.
But it does make sense to look at the extension and look at what has worked and what's throwing money out the window.
First off, throw out .com principles. In .com NNN.com is worth a lot, some aftermarket sales have been absolutely great. In .tv you will not find one reported, verified NNN.tv sale for over x,xxx.
LLL.com another popular category, now anyone who has been in domaining knows the moves the LLL.com have made over the years. The beauty about LLL.com there is an active wholesale market. If you have an LLL.com you can always find buyers in the domainer to domainer market.
In .tv not so much. There are many not regged, and rightfully so.
The CVCV.com another active niche that has made many a .com owner a nice sale. In .tv many are unregged.
So throw out .com popular trends, if that is the only reason why you would reg one of these type of domains then you might want to rethink that domain regging strategy.
Try to understand what a good name is, because a lot of hand regged domains really are only worth reg fee. The value would come in you developing them. Asking for an appraisal on a random LLLL.tv is not worth your time.
I think there are one of three distinct reasons to be in .tv.
1)You are looking to flip domains. While the secondary market for .tv is nowhere near as big as the .com market, you can flip. Pricing is the key, you need to be really realistic here, actually offering bargains. I have hand regged names on the drop like steady.tv a nothing special name, held for a few hours flipped for $100. You cannot have unreasonable pricing. There are now big domainers like Berkens from WorldwideMedia and Nat Cohen from Telepathy Inc buying .tv from .tv domainers. These guys usually are not looking to spend more than high 3 figures for names people here will tell you are worth x,xxx to xx,xxx. If you are going to flip then flip. Price reasonably.
2) Is a long term investor, believing that .tv is an up and coming extension. A long term investor should be focused on quality. Not hold a lot of names because if you are going to be a long term investor it might take years to get the offer you want. The long term investor needs to be sure they are a long term investor, they may not get a good offer on a name for a long time.
3)The .tv developer. This person should own few domains, because they are kidding themself if they think they can develop 10 .tv at a time. If a site focused on text is hard, then one focused on video is harder.
Again IMO
So why are you regging .tv ?

I've stopped 'feeling bad' for people who waste their cash on crap, its their call. Though I still won't go over to the dark side and take advantage of their lack of knowledge, but then that's probably another thread.
