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?

Just came from the marijuana thread...seems there is somewhat of a "work-around" for non-Canadians..it is registering your domain in (dot)to

".to is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of the island kingdom of Tonga."

""T.O." is also a common nickname for Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is used as a city domain extension as exemplified by popular Toronto sites www.dine.to (Dining in Toronto) and www.jobs.to (Job Bank Toronto). This domain extension is also used for the city of Torino (Turin), Italy."

VrGirls.ca great for vr adult site
VrDate.ca you don't have to leave home to date
VrSexToys.ca

and not much interest in names unless your building it out on your own.

"home2go.ca 6/22/2018 2,000 USD".....makes me want to rethink my "never use numbers for words again" rule....420 is the exception...

WHOIS shows the following:

Registrant:
Name: Royal Bank of Canada

Nice sale, wow! Kudos to the seller; would love to know the whole story...

RBC and WestJet partner on new Ampli loyalty platform
Tara Deschamps
The Canadian Press
Published June 13, 2018
Updated June 13, 2018

WestJet Airlines Ltd. is teaming up with the Royal Bank of Canada to create a new loyalty program that aims to attract a “very substantial” group of “very unhappy” customers from the Aeroplan program, which its rival Air Canada is preparing to replace in 2020.

WestJet and RBC said Wednesday that they will launch the Ampli loyalty platform with offers and rewards for customers by the end of the year.

Wow, that's like hitting the .CA lottery.

sella.ca · Jun 26, 2018

Yes, it's proof that a so-so name registered almost 3 years after the registry opens to the public, can result in a killer sale (50K USD!). A domainer's dream come true

A brandable name no less!

Who do I contact at RBC to pick up saver (.) ca

No different than...

sella.ca · Jun 26, 2018

I wonder if they contacted the seller with an rbc.com email address

Or maybe the seller was asking 75k and rbc haggled it down to 50k. Oh to be a fly on the wall

Do you think they chose the name before looking for the domain? The mind reels...

Yep, and just like RBC, they probably budgeted an appropriate amount for the domain.

Contrast that with the losers at CIBC, who couldn't afford simpli.com, so they registered the idiotic simplii.com.

sella.ca · Jun 27, 2018

I think CIBC will regret that decision! Just out of curiosity

do you know what the asking price was for simpli.com?

I can't fathom even asking $50k for that domain - let alone actually receiving it.

Very interesting. Would love to know how the negotiations went.

No idea, I just heard they didn't want to pay up, and it really couldn't have been that bad compared to $$ billions $$ in illicit profits. I wouldn't say it would be over the $50K RBC paid for the .CA, and it's likely just a case of "penny smart-pound stupid", as in "They want how much? Screw it, just add another "i" and that'll teach 'em!"

MapleDots · Jun 27, 2018

Don't be to quick to judge CIBC

Personally I think it is brilliant marketing and a trademark easily protected.

Have a look at these...

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=139911850063039

Notice how nicely they can market the two dots.

Dr. Anthony · Jun 27, 2018

Who would be a good broker for .ca domains? I just don't have the time to find buyers and I have a few premium (in my opinion) domains that I want to try to get rid of.

a few LLL.ca that I get interest on domainnamesales but nothing ever comes of it when I ask for an offer. and some 1 word .ca (voicemail, ground, invoice etc)

Sorry, but the minute I got that first Simplii email I thought "OMG, I wouldn't even use that stupid name for a small web business" and no amount of subsequent logo manipulation is going to change that.

It just looks cheap, second-rate and low-end for such a big bank.

I own the .ca of this as well and the two dots represent two people.

In the case of simplii it represents different versions of financial symbols.

For .ca I think there is growth for similar domains and I don't mind investing in them.

DomainRecap · Jun 27, 2018

Sure, but Pride.com is already a LGBT website (and is a key dictionary word worth 6-figures), while Simpli.com is none of these, and is for sale. So I totally agree with your example, but I do not agree with CBIC's decision.

Simply > Simpli > Simplii > Simpliii > Simpliiii > Simpliiiii

Penny smart, pound stupid.
