I can see a number of these getting picked up - there a few others I'm surprised they accepted the high reserve and can't see selling because of it. What do you think?

 

[theinvestor]

No one makes money here. Everyone is like you. You have nothing good to say but bash those who purchase domains for more than $20. Not even sure why you participate in TBR and are so vocal about it.

 

[DomainRecap]

No one makes money here. Everyone is like you..

Yo Jethro, you seem to be in the wrong conversation - I make lots of money from domains (ask RLM or Esdiel for verification), but that's mainly because I keep a close eye on my expenditures versus the current market, and don't spend wildly on domains like some drunken sailor.

Some would call me cheap, but I prefer financially conservative.

That also doesn't mean you don't spend serious money when the right domain comes up (Aura, Matrix, Ranger, Pixel, etc.) because you should, I'm just seeing current prices on semi-premiums that exceed 2020 TBR wholesale prices on the above domains.

I also don't get caught up in bidding wars or worry about what I lost (anymore), I just get the top domains I can for the lowest price possible and move on to the next week. Maximize your profits and get the highest return possible. It's called utilizing the time value of money, and constantly rolling over profits into more profits.

And no, I don't think spending $3K on Sponsor.ca was a good decision if you bought it to resell, and I'll stand by that. The price is obviously inflated due to new Pandemic Petes joining the TBR game.

 

[theinvestor]

I wish you were around to mentor me when I started buying domains 25 years ago. I’d be a billionaire.

I wish you were around to mentor me when I started buying domains 25 years ago.

We're not talking about 25 years ago, we're talking about TODAY, which is something that many old timers forget. The market today is far different than it was 25 years ago, and you can't get away with spending wildly on pretty well anything resembling a premium domain, and expect to make money on it.

Me and RLM are very similar and his sentiments echo mine on most subjects of domain investing. Get domains cheap, always buy quality, and get a lot of them. And to get the price you want, keep saying no from a position of strength. He's a pretty smart guy when it comes to domains.

 

[Peak.Domains]

Was really hoping to pick up t/a/b/l/e/t/o/p (dot ca) in the previous drop, had a nice bid set in all ready to go, but it got grabbed by a different registrar. Is it generally a good idea to backorder from a few different places? Is there any data on which % of TBR names go to which catchers? Maybe if I try to use the top 3, I'll be able to increase my chances next time.

I've only tried to catch .ca for names that I actually want to develop, so I'd like to increase my chances as high as I can, and may have a minor benefit of being willing to pay a bit more since I'm using it vs. reselling.

 

[theinvestor]

If you backorder at myid and Sibername you will have a 90%+ chance to get the name. It will most likely go to auction though.

sibername.com and myid.ca are the top catchers with very few surprises and exceptions. Good luck

hey all, happy domaining.

what's the best .ca transfer deal currently ? seems 8 is hard to beat ?

thank you in adavnce.

 

[DomainRecap]

Wow, 184 domains selected this week, on a TBR list that incredibly bad?

It's pretty obvious that the Pandemic Petes are out in full force, hellbent on their latest digital gold rush, LOL

 

[sonatime]

More out of habit and less out of need, I always throw some orders in, but last TBR wasn't special, and everything still gets taken apart.
I did notice a considerable change in competition within last year, maybe those times are here to stay.

Wasn't a regular participant on Godaddy auctions, but it feels like there too, it is always end-user pricing and no bargains to be had anymore.

tld-list.com is your best resource for regular pricing.

Canspace is the lowest priced with no complaints, solid all around.

No specials that I am aware of atm, maybe Canada Day the next one ...

[DomainRecap]

No way anything stays the same once the vaccinations and immunity levels hit a certain amount and we get back to semi-normal, and just like in Crypto, NFTs, and other digital pursuits, the entire fad mania is being propped up by a boatload of bored people sitting at their computers with nothing to do.

It's just madhouse pandemic-based buying like spending millions of dollars on NFT art, Top Shots, or CryptoPunks, nothing more and nothing less. Everyone knows it's a bubble, but it's fun while it lasts.

The .CA resale/end user market cannot support anywhere near this level of rampant buying. It's just too small and too cheap, and things are not going to end well for a lot of these Pandemic Petes blowing their paychecks on the TBR. Just as a test I bid up some mediocre TBR domains at auction, and a lot of these guys just seem to "bid whatever it takes to win" and I literally gave up before one of them had a heart attack or their internet went out, and I got left holding the bag.

Crap stuff that wouldn't even be touched a year ago is suddenly selling for $300-$500 no problem, and absolute unsellable junk is an easy sale at $50-$100 a pop. It's true insanity, as there is nothing in the .CA sales data to back this up, and if anything, truly premium domains seem to be moving down in price (YM.ca, SX.ca, John.ca, etc.) as most businesses have been really hurt by the pandemic.

And some genius reported a 3-letter sale of XRC.ca to Namebio at only $250. Oh boy!

I was looking at an old TBR from 2020, with a 2-letter .CA, lots of premium 3-letters, and quite a few choice words and guess how many total picks there were? 54. Yes, fifty-four.

Do the math.

I totally agree, and my TBR buying is way down right now, as I cannot see the value at the current spike in .CA auction prices. I just don't understand the endgame here, is the first one to go bankrupt the winner?

 

[darb]

then formulate a strategy; perhaps ride it out and be ready to pick up the pieces after it implodes.

Crypto has its uses but don't invest in it but NFTs are simply nuts

How much was in the bag you were holding?

There are times I will bid up premium names even if I am not interested in them so they don't too cheap thinking it takes funds out of the future TBRs

Thought I was dropping names but the one I have is rcx/ca and that one was just a catch with no auction but probably a year ago.

Well, obviously from my statement I do have a plan, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to comment on the current fad-buying madness.

 

[DomainRecap]

How much was in the bag you were holding?

The most was just over $500. I had a few others in the $200-$400 range.

And I was prepared to pay if I won, but I just felt the need to test their TBR mettle to see how deep this madness ran.

Pretty deep I guess.

Just give up and move on. You’re the smartest one here. Everyone else is an idiot.

Please tell us what names that are in $200-400 range that are madness.

Probably whatever junk you just bought this week.

Probably whatever junk you bought.

I’m the one buying junk but you’re the one picking up $20 names every week. You are a sad little man.

 

[DomainRecap]

I’m the one buying junk

Yep, no question there.

And why aren't you spreading your special brand of low-IQ wisdom over at DN - they get tired of your BS and boot you out?

And are you now my personal troll? I whistle and you crawl out from under your rock?

 

[theinvestor]

Low IQ pandemic Pete is dominating you in TBR.

Now what’s your fixation with IQ scores? Do you think you’re Donald Trump?

I can’t wait for next few weeks when the CERB money starts coming in then you won’t be able to pick up any names. It’s pathetic when CERB money is outbidding you right?
