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?

 

[DomainRecap]

Finally, another .CA hits the Sedo Weekly Sales List and it's actually a killer branding move by a realtor.

Another .CA Sale!

And it's also a 4-letter that starts with "A" so maybe the mass-LLL investor got some cash out of it...

Finally got a hold of someone and received the code, but the automated system is definitely not working.

Only $2k but it is a rare name, little demand, so I'd say a nice sale still. But definitely a smart move for the realtor.

Definitely, and this guy is set up for branding for life. It's a perfect move in today's market.

The To Be Released (TBR) Weekly .CA Picks for October 30 are now online:

The .CA TBR numbers continue to increase, but the overall quality level is still nothing special, likely due to the stockpile (and subsequent release) of another pack of random LLLL names. The overall number of single-words did take a big jump, but the LLL supply and quality are both extremely low. Even so, the sheer number of 1-word domains was so high that we still managed to compile a Top Picks List that includes...

Get BlackFace.ca before Justin Trudeau does!

 

[MapleDots]

I'm taking a lot of inquiries on 4 letters ending in "r"

There seems to be be renewed interest in these type of shorter names.
One domain had 3 inquiries in the last 2 weeks but they all ran when they heard the 5k asking price.

Any recommendations for cheapest .ca registrar?

Any recommendations for cheapest .ca registrar?

I don't think there are any real sales right now.

Any recommendations for cheapest .ca registrar?

Of the four that I been dealing with this last year, (maybe not the cheapest but less of a learning curve for me especially hosting/setting up landing pages/redirects) is Namespro/ca
Only downfall that I found was transferring from GoDaddy takes awhile.
Just my experience

 

[DomainRecap]

So far, Montage.ca looks really hot across some of the TBR registrars - anyone on MyID got some trends for us?

Talking about MyId...

I keep checking there for BuyNows that are at least in the ballpark, no luck on any purchases there to date.
Right now I just check the buy nows because I can't be bothered to get into time consuming negotiations.

 

[DomainRecap]

The To Be Released (TBR) .CA Results & Leftovers for October 30 have been served:

The number of expired .CA domains increased for the seventh week in a row, with our single-word supply jumping dramatically. Conversely, there was only a trio of 3-letter domains (all low-end) so it wasn't all wine and roses. The TBR results stayed relatively static and shifted down slightly from 104 to 101 selections, which was higher than we envisioned (especially without the Mills Family domains to kick around), and some of the notable Top 10 picks included...

Did Trudeau Really Snag BlackFace.ca?

dammit! fastwebserver picked up montage for someone. the lucky sob sniped my bid at the last second, and because fastwebserver's webserver is off by like 10 seconds, they closed bidding before the stated time and my attempt to re-sniping it back got rejected... ugh. If a server is off by that much time in a world where servers easily (and by default) resync themselves to world clocks several times a day, I think that must be done on purpose.

IMO that was the only domain in tbr worth more than reg fees (at least that I noticed).

So fastwebserver's webserver is actually about 10 seconds fast. I guess that is only logical...

Are you sure? My translations say that NamesPro got it, or maybe FWS was buying time with their servers?

I would have taken Montage, Scone, or Electrum.

.

OH shit. Yes, you are right. Namespro was the winning registrar. And it was my bid on Namespro that got sniped right before it closed bidding. I don't know why I was thinking it was fastwebserver the whole time I was writing that message. So it's namespro that has their server time off by like 10 seconds, not fastwebserver.

Seems like the (dot)ca redirects to the com.
