.TV Domains in Auction Have Bids — 72% of

.TV auction is going strong with two days remaining.

The .TV auction on SnapNames doesn’t end until Wednesday, but by now 72% of the domains have bids.

At the time of writing 121 of the 169 .tv domain names have bids. 108 of the domains have met their reserve and will definitely sell by Wednesday.

So far the top bid is for MR.tv at $3,600. HI.tv isn’t far behind at $3,200. HI.tv is good since ‘hi’ is a word, but it is also the abbreviation for Hawaii.

The auction is mostly two and three letter .tv domain names — but there are also some good keywords.

Stocks.tv and Streaming.tv are each at $2,500 but they haven’t met their reserves. Some of the keyword domains I like that have not received bids yet are GreenLiving.tv, Bargains.tv, Joe.tv, and Tabloid.tv.
