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?

CT is not resolving and registered at MyId. Another “Bermuda Triangle” perhaps??

 

[esdiel]

At a bar drinking with friends and they came up with two more good ones:

CN.ca (CN rail)
HP.ca (Hewlett-Packard)

Yeppers.

 

[esdiel]

Dairy Queen kinda uses DQ.ca...they redirect it to DairyQueen.com

That’s a great one. A lot of these are only used as a redirect but most often advertised in the LL.ca format.

 

[DomainRecap]

All those LL.ca's are incredible time-savers when you just want to check something on the site, which is why I absolutely hate CanadianTire.ca as a site name for such a large company in 2020.

I use FB.com all the time and lot of the other shortcuts.

 

[DomainRecap]

When did two letter .CAs become available?

This question really makes me wish that CIRA left the original registration dates on there when it took over, rather than just whitewashing everything with a "2000", like .CA didn't exist before them.

To Be Released (TBR) Weekly .CA Picks for February 26, 2020

The .CA numbers may have jumped by over a thousand domains, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Over 1500 of those were mixed 3-character junkers that were unceremoniously dumped onto the TBR, thus falsely inflating both the quality and quantity of this week’s list. It is not a good recap for premium domains, to say the least, and although we’ve still compiled Top Picks list, keep in mind it’s all relative and these are simply the best .CAs we could find. The list includes...

Sure this Week Sucks but Read It Anyway!

 

[DomainRecap]

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

 

[esdiel]

Alfonso.ca? lol

 

[DomainRecap]

And we're off....

 

[wwwweb]

I saw this thread on namepros, I guess someone didn't get the memo:

https://www.namepros.com/threads/17...ins-w-prices-420bets-ca.1178798/#post-7651640

 

[DomainRecap]

Alfonso.ca? lol

Maybe - that one went near the top a few years ago, but apparently was dropped back in the pool.

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

[esdiel]

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.

 

[rlm]

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...

 

[DomainRecap]

Haha. I'll end the speculation.

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?

 

[rlm]

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

 

[jaydub]

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
