    Regarding sales, if anyone is ever selling a nice domain, and not thrilled with the price but are considering a sale anyways, feel free to message me or email me directly and run it by me. I'll always be happy to see if I can beat the price - even if you then get a better price from the buyer...

    NIce Sale. Thanks for pointing that out. As a 4-letter first name that is pretty popular, I think that was a reasonable but good price. It was definitely in TBR, I have it in my records, Dec 28, 2016. In my notes I have it as being one I was trying to go after too. I also have the TBR...

    Great question. Of the 6-fig .ca deals I've either bought or sold, I guess you could say that only one was to get the matching .ca, CreditCards.ca. In the 5-figure range, I don't know off the top of my head, there's a lot more of those, I'd have to go through my records to see. But my gut...

    Thanks, it is nice to see that acknowledgement for the secondary .CA market. BTW, George Kirikos uncovered CreditCards.ca in corporate filings, but obviously it hasn't been picked up by namebio. Although I'm under an NDA, there is this...

    I agreed to sales of 3 .ca's all late friday afternoon/evening (to 3 different buyers). All to Canadians. 2 were like, we'll pick this up next week to complete the sale, so I still haven't dealt with how they want to pay. But one kinda wanted to do it right away (a realtor), despite being...

    What the heck, take the year off, you're killing me by giving out free research! Let them earn it, or at least pay you for access to your research! :-)

    Yes, definitely a bit of those hits too. And I guess I should mention the hackers and bots too. Incredible amounts of hackers trying to exploit anything they can, ssh, ftp, mail services and of course the website itself. My main server gets hit with thousands of hits per minute of pure...

    I've had one very good sale, the buyer came to me. Another is in negotiations, again, buyer came to me, but I'm not confident it will culminate in a sale though. The buyer talks big but hasn't backed it up with anything concrete. He contacts me and then disappears for a month or more. This...

    FYI - in case no one noticed, CIRA appears to be posting results directly on the tbr.cira.ca page now. Its not super obvious if you're not looking for it, but it's there as a text link "View Results".

    offers Is this a good offer?

    Some thoughts: 1) If you sell a domain, you need to replace it into your inventory with something equal or better. Otherwise you really don't have a business, its just a garage sale. So if you were to buy a domain of similar or better quality to replace this one, what would it cost you? Pick...

    Last time I saw Eby (Ebenezer) was at Namescon a couple years ago, he was there with his son. He's notorious for not responding to inquiries. I'm pretty sure he won't respond unless you make a corporate-end-user type of offer he's willing to accept. It was Peter Maxymych (Emall) that sold...

    auctions The NamesCon 2019 Live Auction Results - Including OL.com for $900,000

    Having sat live at many of these auctions (NamesCon and TRAFFIC) this was not much different. I think this might have been only the second one I watched online (Cancun sounded better than Vegas right now!). Here are some of my random thoughts about it: Personally I kinda think the auction is...

    Sometimes lightning strikes and you get lucky. Triangle.ca was owned for 17 years before it sold - and it sold relatively cheaply in my mind. It could have easily went another 17 years without selling too. Westleaf.ca and oberlo.ca were definitely not just some random words or letters. Those...

    Who knows, time will tell. I've sold many names only to see them go unused for many months or even years. Sometimes buyers get all excited with the idea, then realize its a lot of work. I can think of one domain off the top of my head that I sold over 8 years ago - it still has my nameservers...

    The problem is, 5g is fleeting. Then it'll be 6g, etc... Was there ever a developed My3G.ca ? Was there a MyLTE.ca? I mean, there's not even a .com in use for anything in that vein that I can find. Sounds like one of those things where at 3am staring at a computer screen in a daze it...

    There is a current shortage again, so if you _have_ quality inventory, you can sell them for a good markup. Otherwise, I'd have to agree, they're ubiquitous and the big boys have a lock on incoming deliveries. I have facemask.ca myself, but despite the bump in traffic, there's no earnings...

    Un-effing-believable. My rat-detector was activated yesterday at 2:25PM PST. I had an inkling this would happen but then thought, there's no effing way CIRA would do this again, would they? Dynadot and Baremetal should be protesting and requesting compensation for losing a couple premium...

    I like it when one of the top .com sales sounds familiar and then realize its because I have the .ca.
