Pixel.ca was sold at auction recently for $1750.00 and I was kind of annoyed I did not see it because I would have bid way higher than that.
I decided to punch it into the address bar today and this is what I saw....
www.pixel.ca
In my opinion there are some real issues with this because it gives the false sense to whoever buys an address that it's theirs to keep for as long as they pay. Personally I think someone will end up buying this domain and then the current owner will have to wait out the year terms with the email clients.
Or maybe he plans to really turn this into a service and I scratch my head at that because it limits any resale potential.
In the real world I don't think there are a ton of people scrambling to get a [email protected] email address so this whole thing puzzles me a bit.
Personally I would have outbid most everyone on this domain if I would have had the opportunity to do so. I paid 5k for protocol(dot)ca which is not as good but I actually developed it. The pixel domain has more potential than my domain but using it in the way he is doing is going to tie it up in limbo until contracts run out.
I guess I am ranting a bit here because I did not get the domain so jealousy does rear its ugly head a bit
. I'm a huge google pixel fan and this would have been a conquest domain for me.
Footnote...
Here is an actual picture of the Pixel devices I use when I travel....
Anyways.... all in good clean fun, wishing I was the lucky recipient but I do wish the new owner of this powerhouse domain all the best.
