renew domain for $35 or register new for cheap?

I have a domain that is expiring in 4 days. It will be $35 to renew it or I can register a new one for cheap. I have not done much marketing on the old one. I like it but it's a .tv not exactly prime real estate. Is there a benefit of an older domain that would offset the higher price of renewing it? I am a webdesigner so the site rewrite is free.

If your niche is related to TV, then you can stick.

Otherwise drop it.

Can i ask what you paid for the domain when you 1st bought it, and who from?

are you receiving any quality traffic with the .tv domains, it never seemed like that tld went anywhere.

hawkster I paid 2.99 usd for it on special. (just looked it up) but the renewal is $35

neweaver I never tried to monetize it. Never put analytics on the site. It was a school project for a webdesign class.

but something has come up and it would be a perfect domain for an ecommerce site in a niche that I am interested in. I never put analytics on it because I was just doing it because it was cheap and it was for a school project. I am just wondering if an aged domain even if it has had very light traffic would be easier to rank than a new one. My thought is I could pay the $35 now and renew it. Or I can pay $2 for a new one (at godaddy with coupon dcus149r) and use the extra money for traffic. I see in the Marketplace that there are packages for seo for $25. Or I can get some links for cheap and still be out the same amount of money...So would it be worth it to renew or just dump and register a new one.

Any thoughts on that?
