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 TBR is always good in February. Don't ask me why.

There's two unfortunate reasons why the last two February TBRs have exploded.

Sorry to be the uninformed one here, but what are those unfortunate reasons?

As I covered a year or to a year-and-a-half ago, a couple of long-time .CA domainers unfortunately passed away and also as I noted earlier, the remainder of their domains were due to expire in early-2020.

 

[Spex]

All we need now is a 2-letter/number/character domain to pop up and we're all set.

You wouldn’t think that the CBC would let domains expire.

R3.CA. This be one crazy week.

I'm getting pretty good at this and predicted all the major Oscars last night both personally and in a few contests - I should have laid down some real $$$ bets.

Called the director and repeated (to much derision) that the voters are all thinking "why can't a foreign language film win Best Picture - let's send a message!" and I got laughed out of the house in favor of the odds-on choice, 1917... until the winner was announced.

 

[Bob Hawkes]

You should register PredictionsGuru (available for hand-reg in .ca) @DomainRecap and go into the monetized prediction business.

Several Canadian companies have R3 as part of name. Will be interesting to see how much it goes for. There is a big blockchain company on the .com I see.

This is getting really crazy and I'm not even sure how to create a Top Picks list, as it would literally be a page long. Maybe a Top Picks with text and then an Honorable Mentions list just with the domain names...

 

[DomainRecap]

You know what worries me about weeks like this is, that because there is so much selection and you really don't know how the bidding is going to go, so you go for a lot of them.

Then the TBR run hits and you get emails stating you just won 15-20 domains (many of which might not be your top choices). and you're out a big chunk of change, This happened to me last year, and it was partly due to a buyer (who outbid me) stiffing them and I got the bill.

 

[Spex]

Great question...

Thanks for the great and detailed reply. Love hearing what great minds have to say!

Wow. Wouldn't that be enough to tell the registrar to take a hike (assuming you no longer want the name after cooling off for a few days)? Or is there something is the fine print that says ANY bidder is on the hook if higher bidders pull out?

 

[DomainRecap]

They have a {service}{geo}.com in the US, but in Canada they now have the {service}.ca.

That's actually an interesting strategy because it provide the best .CA they can get (rather than duplicating a mediocre .COM) and sets them up in case they ever go get their brand in .COM as well.

Not sure, and if I really wanted to push it, then I probably could have gotten out. But they were good names that I liked, but in a week like this one with a massive supply of premiums, it can be too much of a good thing.

Should have just tried it flip it here!

If registrars where transparent about their bidding (showed all the bids and who made them), then I would be fine paying the next highest bid presuming ALL bids by the person who bailed were removed. But since most registrars aren't transparent, then the only fair thing to do would be to give the next highest bidder the option to either buy it at that price, or re-run the auction.

I was going to try DynaDot for a few .CA backorders, but it looks like they only have domains from the very first few days of last week and haven't updated since. I don't think anything that was added past maybe Friday is on there, and they're missing all the juicy new words and LLLs.

Anyone who uses them know if they always screw up like this, or if it's an isolated issue?

And some more from Yellow Pages, including HOUSEWORK.CA.

They are wonky, and not just with .ca
