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?

"There was a sync issue between MyID and CIRA. This has been fixed and you should be able to backorder the domain now."

Just remember that if you were right, you're also guaranteed of being (cough) "outbid".

Sorry nafti... he and Cannabis3 didn't make it.

Well that was depressing, as a lot of the money seems to be going in on Aura.ca and Peridot.ca, with some action on the better LLLs like IAH.ca and KPO.ca.

I'm picking Aura.ca as the first pick.

 

[DomainRecap]

And we're zzzzzzzz off....

 

[DomainRecap]

And big surprise, MyID got both Aura.ca and Peridot.ca...

 

[DomainRecap]

So MyID is on its own planet, and managed to snag... the TOP 5 picks this week, and 6 of the top 7.

When they're on, they're on and it's not even fair to everyone else.

Kind of makes you wonder how they can be so dominate. I find it amazing how their site in general seems so outdated yet their TBR system is one of/the best.

Damn, I got stuck in a cell dead zone between Tofino and Port Alberni... lost all the auctions I was in, Aura, Peridot and Surfboards. Anyone know where they all finished?? Probably just one bid beyond my last bids.... Ugh.

You can see where they spend their TBR money, right?

The registrar side is just to hold their TBR domains (possibly forever...?) so they obviously don't feel the need to ever do work on it since the 90's.

 

[DomainRecap]

I'm also interested in where Aura and Peridot finished up on MyID, if anyone has that data.

 

[dtagr]

Wouldn't it be nice if the registrars were required to:
-report their auction sales
-identify bidders

Enjoy your long weekend! I'm working ;(

eh, no, not at all about reporting sales... TBR sales are almost exclusively wholesale pricing and would skew any domain valuation data significantly downward (there would be a flood of low end sales reports compared to the number of end-user sales reports). It would also document your purchase price, which could then be used against you in a future negotiation. Both of those situations can help set a negative mindset for a buyer in a negotiation. I prefer to be in control of the information regarding my domain purchases and sales, on an individual domain name basis.

As for identifying bidders, yes, that part should be mandated by CIRA for transparency. Since we cannot choose which TBR dropcatchers to do business with for any given deleting domain name (we are basically forced to use them all), then CIRA should absolutely enforce some rules on transparency as to how those domains are sold.

Picked up deadlift last week .. kinda thinking of branding that for gym apparel.

Namebio now makes it easier to report your sales: https://namebio.com/report

You previously had to email them to report sales but they now have a page on their site dedicated to it.

I would encourage anyone who makes a 4-figure USD sale to report it. I say 4-figures because we don't want to see a bunch of small sales showing, as that data doesn't really help us and may lead buyers to believe they can get domains for the same price (i.e. cheap).

 

[DomainRecap]

I see that Aura.ca is listed for sale at a cool $75,000 USD, so now I'd really like to know what it went for on MyID.
