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?

Anyone got a spare 250k kicking around?

If so you can bid on cash.ca at sedo

Amazing name. Would love to see the auction get some traction.

How does it work when it says: "Reserve price range:100,000 USD - 249,999 USD"

Does it mean the seller has the right to refuse or accept any final bids between $100,000 and $249,999, but would be obligated to sell if someone offered 250K+?

 

[MapleDots]

I offered 50k on this one quite a while back

The owner of it literally owns thousands of domains. I have dealt with him before. Super nice guy.

He sold a bunch of generics to YP years ago for $2.5 million.

Amazing name thanks for telling us about it. I guess you need lots of cash to get cash! It is about four orders of magnitude out of my range personally but I too hope it finds a buyer. Would be nice to see a publicly announced huge .ca sale.

The reserve is a real number, but they're hiding it within a given range.

Thanks for explanation. I always wondered when I see those. What is the logic of not telling people exactly what the reserve is? I could sort of see it in the live NamesCon auction where they got on phone to discuss reserve with seller in some cases.

Because people would just play games to be a "big man" and bid a dollar short on every auction, defeating the entire purpose of a hidden reserve.

A lot of US cash...as of this posting..
1 Canadian Dollar equals 0.76 United States Dollar

I agree. I bought CraftBeer from him. Great portfolio and a pleasure to deal with.

Yes, that is the reason, but note that I've been to many of those live domain auctions over the years at the old TRAFFIC and NamesCon domain tradeshows. Bids are still binding and the seller has the option to accept a bid that is below the reserve price. So that in theory could backfire on anyone trying to play that game.

I'm glad you clarified that because in my opinion all bids should be binding if the seller decides to accept them regardless of what the reserve is.

IE: someone thinks their domain is worth 100k and they put a 100k reserve.

Largest offer is 75k and the owner of the domain sees there is not as much interest as he expected. He should then be able to go in and accept the 75k if he decides to sell cheaper.

Here are the 5 .CA domains participating in Sedo's current Great Auction Event:

I'm surprised they approved legalgrass.ca, and allowed for a reserve range between 10K-25K.

Name makes no sense since it’s legalized now.

Notice how all of them have ZERO bids?

LegalGrass.... I mean come on 10-25k,

someone is smoking something and it must be grass because that sure is not good pot

Most likely same owner of the big ticket names, doing them a favor, one last hurrah to unload that name, should have done it a few years back if they had the chance. I don't see any .ca selling in these reserve ranges.

Definitely, but I'm just talking about the traditional "Reserve Auction" format where the bid only becomes legal it you meet or surpass the reserve amount. Like on Namejet or eBay.

Uh oh Spaghettios, we have a 2-character TBR drop....

V4.ca eh... I'm surprised godaddy only appraises it at 2.7K.

I also couldn't help but check the appraisal for V6.ca, which happens to be 8.5K.

I guess godaddy knows everyone rather have a V6 than a V4 lol.
