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?

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
The owner of it literally owns thousands of domains. I have dealt with him before. Super nice guy.

I agree. I bought CraftBeer from him. Great portfolio and a pleasure to deal with.

Because people would just play games to be a "big man" and bid a dollar short on every auction, defeating the entire purpose of a hidden reserve.

Yes, that is the reason, but note that I've been to many of those live domain auctions over the years at the old TRAFFIC and NamesCon domain tradeshows. Bids are still binding and the seller has the option to accept a bid that is below the reserve price. So that in theory could backfire on anyone trying to play that game.

I'm glad you clarified that because in my opinion all bids should be binding if the seller decides to accept them regardless of what the reserve is.

IE: someone thinks their domain is worth 100k and they put a 100k reserve.

Largest offer is 75k and the owner of the domain sees there is not as much interest as he expected. He should then be able to go in and accept the 75k if he decides to sell cheaper.

I'm surprised they approved legalgrass.ca, and allowed for a reserve range between 10K-25K.

Name makes no sense since it’s legalized now.

Notice how all of them have ZERO bids?

Most likely same owner of the big ticket names, doing them a favor, one last hurrah to unload that name, should have done it a few years back if they had the chance. I don't see any .ca selling in these reserve ranges.

Definitely, but I'm just talking about the traditional "Reserve Auction" format where the bid only becomes legal it you meet or surpass the reserve amount. Like on Namejet or eBay.

V4.ca eh... I'm surprised godaddy only appraises it at 2.7K.

I also couldn't help but check the appraisal for V6.ca, which happens to be 8.5K.

I guess godaddy knows everyone rather have a V6 than a V4 lol.

From a traditional Chinese (chip) point of view this would be the worst letter, and worst number out of all combinations for a 2C for them.

2019 has been the worst .ca year for me yet, I really think .co, and gtld's have hurt the sector a bit.

It hasn't been better or worse for me sales-wise (more like flat), but my domain quality has gone up while sales are flat, so .CA is definitely not on an upswing.

I've dropped better words than that, and it's definitely a "which one doesn't belong" kind of deal.

Cash, Medicine, Prescriptions... Punters??

Will be interesting to see if punters reaches its reserve. I see it did sell in com.au in 2012 for about $500. I think football - but that market seems small. Dictionary says it also means someone who rides in a punt boat. I presume the value would have to be some sort of analogy to punting in football in some sort of business use.

Clearly medicine, cash, prescriptions all great, although reserves are not low.

Punter seems like UKish, can see it working overseas or in the UK, I believe it ties in with betting, to take a punt on something, meaning to take a chance on something. Don't really see it work in the .ca space, as gaming is so differently regulated over here.

One proper use in the local market could be for betting picks.

If any Canadian businesses are buying .co's, I'd call that a horrible mistake as its way too easy for people to confuse .co with both .ca AND .com.

The primary meaning that comes to mind for me on Punter (other than the football/rugby one) is that of a habitual gambler.

I'm not sure how much it's in use in 2019, but when I read books or watch movies with gambling subject matter, the term "punter" pops up all the time. I saw an Aussie gambling flick and it was "punter" this and "punter" that (in a very derogatory manner, like "here comes a loser") and I think it's still popular over there.

I think now, especially in the UK, it's expanded to a far wider customer base, along the lines of what wwwweb said, anyone who will "take a chance", like laying their money down on a brand new product.

The way I see it, Canadian companies have 2 choices, grab a lower-end .COM or upgrade to a better/more premium .CA. Multi-nationals are still going to stick with .COM, but I think there is a real opportunity for other firms (that have no chance in hell of getting their brand in .COM) of achieving a match in .CA.

Would you rather be:

koalachemicalsinc.com

or

koala.ca

I'd choose the latter, but that's just me.

And we have a new TBR challenger this week, well aged since at least 2000:

ANIMATION.CA

What do you think?

Great keyword, considering .com,.net,.org are all parked, or on a dead page doesn’t make me want to over pay on such a name.

Yep, it's almost a little too generic for use in 2019, but you still don't see top singular words on the TBR too often, especially extremely old ones.

Then again, it's certainly worth something, as you could slap pretty anything after a positive and active term like Animation (i.e. Studio, Agency, Media, Group, Financial, Recruiting, Investment, etc.) and have a highly recognizable business name and domain.

The word itself definitely has some inherent worth, but it would be that much more appealing if the .com and other extensions were already in use. Who knows what the future might hold though.

I know you can't take online appraisals too seriously but i thought i'd share, plus Godaddy gives some good insights:

Whoever first bought animation.com in 2004 seems to have taken a hit when they resold it for less a decade later (via auction apparently).

Well if Animation.info sold for almost $2K USD, then the .CA is worth more than that.

And yes, anyone buying a keyword domain for 6-figures in the early-2000's is going to take a hit, as that price included massive parking revenue that no longer exists.
