As some of you might have noticed MapleDots is in an acquisition phase and we have significant funding set aside for new domain acquisitions.

Before we started the process we decided to try to acquire a top brandable .com.

www.Maple.com was purchased by a company from New York that delivered restaurant style meals.

At the time I predicted the company would have some challenges

Before we started our recent acquisitions we attempted to acquire Maple.com for 100k USD and we contacted every email address in the WHOIS listing.

We did not get a response and therefore decided to drop the attempt to acquire this domain and pursued our current strategy instead. MapleDots is highly focused on Canadian Domain Properties but will entertain the purchase of .com properties if they can be re-branded with a Canadian presence.

PLEASE KEEP THIS TOPIC PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS AND ON TOPIC.

Jan and Feb were really quiet for me, some inquiries but no sales. Still 10 months left in the year though.

Yesterday I registered Maple-leaf.org $3.99.

Don't know it well sell or not, but I always try to risk only little money in something.

MapleSyrup.ca is premium and will fetch a nice price at DomainBrothers

The MapleSyrup market is huge in Ontario and Quebec

PS @GoWebnames.com could I ask kindly you to reduce that picture to a thumbnail please, it is kind of overpowering the topic.

Some of the New England states and New Brunswick also produce a lot of maple syrup. New Brunswick actually produces more than Ontario. Quebec is, as you say, huge, producing 70% of the world maple syrup supply! Indeed maple and maple syrup are nice words in domain names!

If you're interested in learning more about the Quebec Maple Syrup industry and how messed up it is, watch episode 5 of Dirty Money on Netflix. It's really interesting.

No, I have what I need, I was looking for that domain specifically and unfortunately I missed it when a member had it for sale.

That said, I would not have been in a position to offer that much in 2014.
