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?

 

[alcy]

Personally I think thats a bit high, I would have set my target at about $7,500

i learned setting my prices or hopes too high for .ca domains results in no sales at all.

whats sweetleaf again? that it should cmd 7k?

Natural stevia based sweetener would be a prime use. In the right circumstances it can comand a 7.5k price but we have to remember these are .ca's and the odd high sales we see are flukes rather than the norm.

I paid 5k for a 3 letter.ca in 2006 so they can fetch money when someone needs them.

 

[briguy]

I’m guessing over 5K easily. Although I’m not sure which is better to own.Yr or Yo. I would say yo.

Guess, you are not a "Young and Restless" fan.. lol

If I had the extra "cash", I would try to buy..thinking as a long term investment would be worth it..

 

[dtagr]

How do you convince an enduser (or the Canadian business class in general) that your commodity has value if you let it go cheap?
I don't need to sell that name this year.
My holding costs are around $2500, I'll sell one or two names to cover it.

 

[dtagr]

YO and YR and any other 2l.ca are liquid domains. Need cash? Same day sale.

thats the idea then. sell some names to cover renewing rest of them.... and some profit too if you can of course..

so if that plan is working out for you every year that's great. if not, well.. then maybe there is need for new plan. including lowering price.

The only soaps I watch is WWE! lol

Maybe something like "Diva(dot)ca"
will drop soon..

That plan works well. It didn't always, but something has changed in our market in the last 15-18 months. Inquiries are on the rise (my portfolio is better than it was TBH). I get inquiries with $1000 offers that I used to get $400 offers on. They still spook when I quote 5 figures back, lol!

I still need to hustle to sell something to cover my cost. Canadians still have a strong tendency to see .ca as a discount brand.

If I have a strong word to the left of the dot that 5-6 or more companies can use, then I got MOJO. The more hardball I play with my prices, the less likely the enduser gets what they want for the price they want to pay. That creates scarcity. Scarcity creates demand. Demand drives prices.

Obviously I'm doing that on a Micro scale, but it has an effect over time. The guy that I send packing then comes for your name and knows that he has to offer more or his experience with me will be repeated.

Sorry for the wall of text, I can get going sometimes, lol!

well said.

but this isn't just about .ca and canadians. most of our endusers.. worldwide.. see anything other than .com as discount secondary extension.

I wish we could, but I no more see any of us being able to change their minds about that... not for .ca nor for any other non .com extensions

imo

cheers

www.pot.com had the highest sale value

Visit there and look

Hang on to any pot domains..... just some advice

I went there, nice lander. Been a stagnant page for a while now according to archive.org
