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?

 

[rlm]

Thanks rlm, but I only count 70...

its 71, maybe you lost a row when you cut and pasted or something... or maybe two rows wrapped together.

Now I'm in the Twilight Zone - did you put 72 when you first posted it?

I counted 71 in Excel, went back and it was one less, so I then when I went to write the reply, double-checked and used the 71 - 1 = 70 as my number, when I had 71 all the time.

Otherwise I'm going crazy.

 

[nafti]

Myid is not mopping the floor “as much” since the CIRA changes. Do you think the new changes affected them?

 

[jaydub]

Not that it was a great drop this week but they still managed to get 6 of the top ten.
But I know what youmean nafti...they don’t seem to be as dominant as they once appeared to be.

 

[dtagr]

So cover.com($850,000) buys cover.ca($10,000). Anyone want to take a stab at the correlation? Should we just follow the 1.2% rule?

 

[DomainRecap]

Hey guys (and gals) I was able to procure the OFFICIAL TBR Results for February 27 from the CIRA and I will have them posted this morning.

 

[dancarlson]

With all the new changes with the TBR, typically i was unable to register any domains until @ 13:00hrs pst but today i was able to reg domains at 09:00 that were not picked up on yesterdays drop?

plus Namespro has a $4.99 special ( it might be $4.98? not sure )

so i picked up

The Official .CA To Be Released (TBR) Results & Leftovers are a bit late, but finally online so go check which TBR Registrars were *really* the quickest:

This week’s .CA TBR list was below-average in terms of the quality and quantity of word domains, and there was a total absence of ultra-premium names. The top selections were partially on target with our expectations and included STREAMIT.CA, BWG.CA, SURFSHOP.CA, FOUL.CA, and VIZ.CA. How BWG.CA was selected ahead of both VIZ.CA and NSO.CA is a question for the ages.

You Can't Miss This One!

there are a cpl more now missing off your list. I let SurfShop drop, I think I let DiveShop drop as well.

SurfShop was picked up really early, like 2-3 I think - I just checked and it was 2nd overall.

Remember, these are the steaming Leftovers, after the TBR Run, not a running count of post-TBR registrations.

Very interesting to see your drop go #2, viz sold for $300.

Yeah, I saw SurfShop.ca on the TBR List, took a look outside at the massive 6-months of ice and snow we get, and thought "no freaking way".

Tough market, but huge market for California aka CA

I know, I just don't get involved in that gray area of the market.

Well, for starters, I'd bet that the owner of Cover.com was in a much better position to hold out and demand his price (i.e. less desperate) than the owner of Cover.ca... Personally, I think too many .ca domainers sell for way too cheap...

BTW, there was a very similar .ca in TBR just a couple weeks ago. Some brilliant person probably picked that one up cheap.

In the context cover.ca seems like it sold to cheap, but it was a sedo sale so most likely it started out like $100 offer counter at $50,000 and so on, and so on, with them probably best and final at $10k where the owner is left to make the call do I sit on this for a few more years, and if so who is going to pay me more, or do I take what is here today, and move on. It’s a tough call sometimes, I feel .ca are selling for less today, maybe more motivated sellers sick of holding, and lowball offers.

I have been pouring through an Escrow.com report for a forthcoming NameTalent article. Many interesting stats one of which shows the top 5 regions and how they performed in each quarter. They are US, China, UnitedKingdom, Hong Kong and Canada which surprised me somewhat that we would be a top region.

They show from Q3 of 2017 through Q4 of 2018 performance each quarter. Canada was strongest in Q2 of 2018 when there was just under $13 million in transactions. Now these are for the country, not for the extension per se, so hard to know breakdown of .com and .ca. Basically 2018 Q2 was the strongest for all markets, and in Hong Kong in particular huge drop off since then.

Out of curiosity - where did you get your list? I see sibername isn't posting the full results.

Interesting to see that those results are often off by around 1 second compared to what whois reports. What's even weirder is that whois reports that (for example) bwg.ca was registered at 19:00:01 where as the official results said 19:00:02.164. I'm guessing the whois data gets injected before the transaction is complete, and that the official results are based on the transaction complete time rather than the transaction initiation time.

Anyways, I guess I'm off the hook now for providing those results

I got them straight from CIRA, but there's no ETA when the official functionality will be available, so please keep posting the immediate results as I may not have access next week.

Anyways, I guess I'm off the hook now for providing those results

Hey, wait a minute.... I used an amalgamation of both lists (I credited you also) to make sure I had the Times/Order and Registar rows correct.

I know you're going to want to bow out sometime, and at that point, please let me know the translation table you use for Registrars - I used to have one, but it's woefully out-of-date. PM me if you want to talk.

Good work - very interesting. Although for sure .CA is a part of those stats (I know I contributed my part), there are some prominent domainers from Canada who got in really early, have great .com portfolios and thus never bothered to get into .CA (thankfully!).
