    .ca Dot CA Discussion, Sales, and Showcase

    6 figure sales for .CA are indeed rare, reported or not. Will they happen again? Probably. Will the public know about it? Probably not. In my experience, almost every sale from the lowish 5-figures and up range is to a corporation. It's then handled by a corporate lawyer, and thus under a...

    Speaking of seeing our domains get developed, this might be interesting. Anyone have any past domain sales that are now operated by a big company that they'd like to share? I always kinda like seeing my old domain names flash on the TV screen or in print or whatever. It's kinda like being...

    Just off the top of my head, I'd have said December was always good, up until when offices started closing for the holidays. January always felt above average, and July & August always felt the worst. That got me thinking, was my gut feeling correct? So I just checked my inquiries database and...

    I have had a bunch of inquiries so far this month, but that is typical for January. I just sent out 30 emails on Friday following up on inquiries in various stages of negotiations. I find that Decembers are better than average, probably as companies are using up remaining budget or to write...

    I think you have to consider the default currency of any .CA transaction as CAD. In theory every buyer and seller has to have a Canadian presence, and the majority of buyers are going to be Canadian and you certainly can't assume any buyer or seller is going to have a US Bank account or be used...

    DNJ quotes in USD, so basically that sale would have been the equivalent of $20K CAD + 5% GST. Activate is a nice domain, already having a bunch of established businesses using variations of activate{word}.ca and many other activate{word}.ca variations registered, but not in use. I think at...

    I remember when that dropped. I was bidding on it and then I got distracted by family or a phone call or something and missed placing a bid and it closed... ugh. Definitely was a nice domain. I guess the upside of these stupid mistakes by companies letting domains drop is that it's how we get...

    Thanks for the backstory - I didn't know that. Shocking that for $15/yr they let the domain go - horrible advice from whoever convinced them to drop it. If they're that worried about $15/yr I can't believe they're even in business... I picked it up in tbr - to go with Esprit that I've had for...

    No way around that one - unless the buyer is willing to take a push.

    question Monetization of premium .com domains

    Do not park high value domains unless you are damn sure what is going to be advertised. Brandable dictionary words are often highly trademarked - for example "Summit". Its not a product or service, but there are tons of company names and trademarks using the word Summit. In fact its a great...

    http://www.namejet.com/featuredauctions/liveauction Porn.ca is listed. The porn category is a pretty bad .CA investment - there's so much porn out there - and maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Canadian porn consumers are demanding their porn be purely Canadian, otherwise someone here would...

    I do like pure.ca. You're still in your portfolio building phase so I think it makes sense to spend in that range to assemble a really nice core portfolio. That'll buy you a some negotiating power as well when buyers see you're not just a one-off domain owner - that you have a nice stable of...

    He's a Calgary realtor, he's bought some domains from me in the past (homesforsale.ca and condosforsale.ca), and still occasionally bugs me about a few other domains I own that I don't want to sell. I've seen him sell another geo domain before too. I think as a realtor he's able to convince...

    Never had an inquiry like this, have any of you had this? I am in the process of purchasing a few hundred domains for future use. What is the price for this domain? It just seems weird that someone seems to be intent on building a portfolio of domains but just inquires about one single domain...

    First off, thanks to everyone that responded. I think the independent appraisal idea is a good starting point for the reasons mapledots mentioned. I originally fired off a reply and a price to their initial inquiry. They replied back with the we'll discuss it internally along with the "we...

    I've helped mom and pop shops by giving their domain back at cost. I've even helped them restore their website (by recovering as much as possible from archive.org) from a shitty ass developer who ghosted them with no way to access their website and domain (which is how it dropped). I've had...
