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?

I wonder what TBR domain is worth it this week to bid $360 on at NamesPro?

I'm betting someone is trying to bully others away from this 44-letter beauty...

LOL

There are a few that were registered before year 2000 so it could be one of those, although not the greatest names. BusinessCare.ca was registered in 1996, for example.

Thinking about LL's and TBR... There have been 12 LL.ca's to go through TBR since March 2006, that I'm aware of. 5 of them went into the MyID blackhole. Not a single one today is in use by an end user.

Namebio's average LL.ca selling price is $17K USD. Odds of ever selling any given LL.ca at end-user pricing are probably just a few % at best. You run the numbers and unless you own enough of them, they're probably not worth chasing. The most likely scenario is that you buy a couple, sit on them for a lifetime, then liquidate it for sub-par ROI.

Haha. I'll end the speculation. It was me. Jardine is my step-daughter's surname, so I bought it possibly for them and/or my grandson (he's not even 2 yet). Thanks to someone here that likes to give free TBR advice, and the bunch of people who were likely to be now pursuing it, I had to take every opportunity to get it. With it being a shitty week, it wasn't likely to fly under the radar this time...

I predicted it was Jardine.ca (ask esdiel) but I didn't know it was you. Congrats!

Sorry if it cost you more, but man it's a 2000 or earlier reg with a ton of company names sporting the Jardine brand. With such a bad week overall, I honestly think a lot of people would have been on it regardless.

Yes, I know. Just giving you a hard time. While I can certainly appreciate what you're doing, it obviously generates competition for me - so yeah, it is a little annoying since I put in the work to do my own research.

Regarding Jardine, yes, its has a few businesses using it, no major corporations, mostly smaller businesses - so I wouldn't say there's a _ton_ of companies. But I'm happy about the price, especially since it has personal value to me.

And on the topic of personal use, now that Gmail charges for email accounts utilizing private domain names, are there any really good IMAP based free or cheap options out there that anyone has found and like?

Personally, I think you should charge an annual fee for access to your research!

I agree... or a monthly fee. My schedule is so all over the place that I do appreciate the time you put in when I don’t have the time to scour the whole list. There was another member that used to do a list and we paid him $15 a month... or something like that

I agree. The research @DomainRecap puts in prior to and after the TBR runs is quite valuable. I'd pay a little something to make it a little more exclusive

To Be Released (TBR) .CA Results & Leftovers for February 26, 2020

The TBR list jumped to 8,999 expired domains, but the premium quality was not there, and we didn't even have a 2-character or high-end 3-letter to count on. Even so, the Top 10 Picks included some notable domain selections that included...

Lotsa Names to Hand-Reg!

Maybe send the Hotlist to people who subscribe the night before and post the leftovers for all after the drop.

I'd have no problem with that, assuming the subscription plan was viable and people actually wanted to pay a little bit for the privilege, just to make up for any potential losses in ads/readership/affiliate sales/etc.

If there is a way to make this a feasible path to go, I have no problem doing it. Let me know your ideas on what kind of semi-annual/annual fee would be doable? I don't see any use in any lower duration than that, otherwise it's a clerical nightmare.

Agreed, and maybe semi-annual at the lowest.

Just spit-balling here but free for me and say, $99/year for everyone else

I have a feeling that's going to be the most common answer.

"Let those other jerks pay for it!"

I would say $50 for 6 months

You may want to try it on a 3 month basis to see if it is feasible for you to make it a regular service.
It would be tough to stop if it wasn’t as viable as what you do now after people have already paid...just a thought

To even start something like that, I'd have to have a group of people already pre-signed up and then do at least 6 months. Probably 10-20 people signed up and then I'd go for 6 months and see how it works.

I should have started this as a separate comment so it didn't get overlooked.

Can anyone recommend decent Email services that works with your own domain? Preferably cheap/free for a basic account with the option to upgrade for a fee? Thx!

Picked a few up today... One of the bigger ones that didnt seem to get noticed was T4e.ca ... Although it doesnt look like much, but its a tax form in Canada (if you didnt already know that). Should have some merit.

Count me in, if it's about $50 for 6 months.
