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?

Almost 4K of this week's TBR domains (probably half) are online, and ZERO 3-letters - very weird.

waiting for next TBR List!!

 

[esdiel]

Yes, it is nameservers based and these above mentioned nameservers will help you reach that sort of landing page. But picking up the phone, submitting details and waiting on getting a price thing is what kills half of the leads.

I have tried these, and switched to Uni post that!

I read that Godaddy chose to set it up this way because getting people on the phone was the most effective way to make a sale, but I totally get what you mean. The lack of a BIN present makes it harder for people to make an impulse buy.

I imagine it could help if a buyer really has no clue and wants someone to hold their hand thru the process. At the same time, I feel like those who understand domains would know that he/she could check the price by searching for the domain on afternic or godaddy.

With how many domains and for how long did you try them out before giving up? I often try out new companies, like uniregistry or dan, for a few months and then give up after a few months pass with no sales. I always wonder if I should have tried them out for longer.

people who know more can also reach out to us/owner through whois email, thats if they are really tech-savvy

The point of such a form is to get a lead or probable buyer on the phone and try to sell him/her one of the domain names from inventory of millions of domain names, which means it could be ( y)ours or not.

I would rather have a lead or probable buyer contact me directly through a form and than decide on whether I would want to do it on my own or let a broker handle it for me. Since English isnt my first language, my mix accent might cause understanding issues for the north american/british buyer, and thats where I'd like a professional broker grab a kill for me, the option Uniregistry provides for me.

Mind you, I have tested almost all the platforms again and again and settling down with Uni at the end.

I did test this platform with over 500+ domain names, for over 3+ months and moved on with no sale and few price inquiries to better and greener pastured grounds

A little CIRA news to read with your morning coffee

Imagine your boss — the company president — asks you to transfer files from one company computer to a new one. As the work is underway, sexually explicit photos start popping up on the screen from files he has been storing.

Human resources is alerted and an investigation takes place. You and two colleagues from the IT department are fired. The boss continues in his job.

That's what happened at the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) — the federally created agency that sells Canada's ".ca" internet domain, and offers cybersecurity and other programs nationally.

[DomainRecap]

I've heard about stuff like this happening, and it really makes you wonder why the CEO wasn't let go, as the chickens always come home to roost... eventually - probably a political appointee with serious family connections.

 

[DomainRecap]

Here's the full story:

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada...-computer-fires-it-staff-keeps-president.html

The images were sexually explicit, insiders say. The Star has seen more than 1,000 of these photos which were copied at the time of the discovery. The images show Holland with other people, often naked or partially clothed, sometimes either performing or simulating sex acts. People in the photos appear to be consenting. Some of the photos appear to have been taken at boozy parties...

That's where I first saw it, but the Toronto Star has a paywall. The link I posted has the same article but fully available.

Sorry, I didn't know that as I was able to read it no problem.

 

[DomainRecap]

Holy crap, there is a real shitstorm brewing for the CIRA, as I'm getting texts and emails from friends/family asking me if I know anything about this.

The CIRA are absolute morons for thinking this fiasco would stay hidden,, as "Juicy PORN Story" guarantees massive coverage and that's not even hitting the "innocent workers fired/President still employed" corruption angle.

I just saw it in my newspaper and posted here before seeing this.

It's not often that a .CA finishes this high on the weekly Sedo list, and it's a very interesting domain as well:

This Sedo Weekly Public Domain Sales Recap covers public domain transactions from December 9 to December 15, 2019. We start off the .COM section of this recap with the top sale of the week, as xchange.com traded hands at a healthy $42,077 USD. This was followed up by...

To Be Released (TBR) Weekly .CA Picks for December 18

The .CA numbers have jumped up a bit this week, and it has now stayed over the 8K mark for a full month. The overall list quality is certainly not high, but there are several intriguing options that hover at the mid-to-low range of the premium spectrum. Unfortunately, there are no 2-character domains or ultra-premium single-words to shake things up, and our Top Picks List features...

Ornerier than a Rattlesnake

Hello

I registered elementscasino.ca
Elements Casino is a big casino chain in Canada - see elementscasino.com
What do you think the .ca is worth? Should I contact Elements Casino directly and try to sell it to them?

Thanks,

Danto

 

[DomainRecap]

No, I would not recommend contacting them directly unless you have something generic like Elements,ca, as the next email will be from their legal department.

If you continue doing such activity, only a matter of time before you get hauled into legal action, and they will make you pay dearly, along with your reputation being smeared as a cyber squatter. If you got better lawyers then them, by all means roll the dice at your own expense, but what your engaging in is what many of us frown upon.

Hello

Was it a mistake to register this domain? Does it have value?

Thanks,

Hello

Was it a mistake to register this domain? Does it have value?

Not really, as long as you a) don't make a habit of it b) don't approach the company in question, and c) don't park the domain so that it potentially shows gambling ads.

Since you already sunk money into it, just forward it to a sales lander and hope someone bites.

Lots of people make money this way (but it's usually to US firms without TMs in Canada) and they do so very carefully and only as a small part of their portfolio. I personally don't recommend this type of domain investment, but others do well at it.

Did no one play the TBR this week, as I seem to have won a few that I never thought I had a chance at.

Is RLM on vacation or something?

I played, but nothing worth using back order services. I haven't checked, but also never received an email of catching anything with my program.

0/5, but one still going lol
