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?

 

[DomainRecap]

I wonder if these 3L buyers are actively purchasing mid/high quality LLLs on secondary markets as well, or if it's all concentrated on the TBR.

From what I'm seeing, it seems to be concentrated solely on the TBR as a speculative tactic.

I am not seeing any increase in LLL end user sales, and if anything, the market has dropped lately. There used to be the odd LLL.ca hit the major sales charts, but these are getting fewer and farther between. And when they do hit, it's usually an ultra-premium.

just regged solid crypto keyword...

token market
.ca

 

[DomainRecap]

token market
.ca

You grabbed it? It was a pretty good week for Crypto on the TBR, although our top two picks went pretty early.

 

[alcy]

yes i just regged it
honestly i dunno so much about expired markets and drops..just never got round to it much in domaining yet..so i just use expireddomains.net now and then to get some stuff... i was hoping to grab btcbank..ca there..but i dont think it ever made it there...

at full price namesilo 9$ regs and no promos... i try to take it real easy with .ca regs..still not the easiest to sell imo

but 'market' keyword is about as good as it gets for crypto...

 

[martinrussell]

…at full price…

If you do a search or whois on cira.ca, current promos are displayed if the name is available.

Just treat .CA like it's the top 10% of the .COM market (i.e. the other 90% won't sell) and you'll be fine.

i was hoping to grab btcbank..ca there..but i dont think it ever made it there...

Nope, our Top Picks for Crypto were BTCBank.ca and BitcoinTrust.ca and they both went pretty early, but BlockchainStartups.ca, CoinHQ.ca, MiningCrypto.ca, SnapCoin.ca, and TokenMarket.ca made it through.

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Is it just small number statistics, or maybe more sales on venues not NameBio reported, but it seems .ca is a bit slower this year so far.

So far in 2018 there are 21 NameBio listed .ca sales totalling $164.3k.
In (all of) 2017 it was 89 sales totalling $464.6k

Or maybe it was just that 2017 was a good year?

If you take the average of the last 5 years there are 58 sales per year and $500k per year.

What do people think?

 

[DomainRecap]

What do people think?

I think at least part of it has to do with how crazy the TBR list was through the first half of 2018.

A couple of longtime domainers passed away, and their holdings slowly expired and flowed onto the TBR which allowed investors, web developers and and companies to grab a lot of premium names cheap - this almost certainly lowered demand on the resale market.

 

[briguy]

when do .ca expired names end up on expireddomains.net? every 7 days? at which hour? like 2pm EST?

Was just there... https://www.expireddomains.net/deleted-domains/?o=bl&r=d
Couldn't resist backlinks so

(SuccessProfessor.ca) is mine

also acquired from TBR

 

[martinrussell]

…couple of longtime domainers passed away…

On that note, regardless of real or perceived value, it's a good idea to have arrangements in place for someone to look after your investment… if you can't.

 

[alcy]

any .ca reg promos?

I think u can get one dom for $1 at cira.ca

 

[nafti]

I’m curious if one of those domainers owned oil.ca? It’s been in redemption for a bit.

What a beast of a name..

It looks like that is a MyID registered domain, which means it may never see the light of day.

It is a good one to watch as it will clearly show what's going on.

If I recall, it went for around $25,000 about 8 years ago. I was in auction for it.... I tapped out at $24,999. lol

If it drops, it could get more this time around. We could all dump our piggy banks and go for it together. Then turn around and sell it to Shell for mid 6 figures. :P

I doubt it, as old school EMDs are not getting the cash they used - times have changed (i.e. the move to brandables) and Google has totally negated keyword domains like this.

In 2018, this would sell to a company name that starts with Oil, not a company that just sells oil. Look at Shell, they dropped ShellOil.com not long ago to stick with only Shell.com under Shell Global. Shell Global an "energy company", can sell anything, while Shell Oil is strictly one-dimensional.

Has not sold so far..... only a limited number of oil companies in Canada and none of them are called "Oil"

Even if I was dealing in hash oil it would mean nothing to own the domain oil.ca, I would want hashoil.ca

Personally I would not spend 25k on oil.ca, I would rather buy something like blue.ca as my next acquisition. That domain name can be used for anything and would have a much broader base appeal.

 

[briguy]

I go into a bar..the waitress ask, what I want..I reply "Blue" and I get a Labatts!

Oil can be a great redirect for a CBD oll site...coconut oil..baby oil..

Just my thoughts..

Yes but you would have to go to a gas station to say "Oil" then they would ask.... what kind.

I still think if I am going to spend 25k I could pick a broader potential domain.

Oil is not the same as POT, now that one I would spend a lot on.

 

[briguy]

Just giving exsmples of other uses for potential enduser.

Not sure about which is better..oil or pot..with the right marketing team/plan/budget..anything can happen..

Sex.ca would be my dream buy for three characters..
