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?

K. It's definitely easier to bulk add domains via Afternic... but I'm not sure if it's all the same when it's listed on Afternic but not the Godaddy marketplace.

Afternic listings can certainly be found on Godaddy, but I don't know if you'll receive notification of the offer from Afternic or GoDaddy? I'm guessing you would receive notification of the offer via afternic if that's where it's listed and the domain isn't actually in your GD selling list. If so, then i imagine this would mean you need to respond to the offer (via afternic) and you won't have the option to counter after deadline expires.

I'm not 100% sure so I'm doing a test by placing a $20 bid on my own domain I searched on Godaddy that was only listed on Afternic (using a second account i have with GD).

Trying to explain this is making my head hurt, but know what I'm getting at?

Maybe @MapleDots knows the answer?

if u list on gd thru aftrnic then u get offer from afternic.. additonally, u cannot in this case send accepted offer to 7day auction... and there are probably couple more disadvantages to listing on gd via aftrnic.... I always list directly on gd.

 

[alcy]

So what happens if you have the domains at Afternic and at GD, but at different minimum bids?

if u list on gd then it takes priotity.

meaning, if today you list domain.com on afternic with x min bid... then in a week u list sme name on gd with min bid y... then the final liting will be throug gd with min bid y.

Going to take a break and focus on family and selling domains for a while.

So... sibernames won’t let you transfer out your domains if they are in their expiry period?

 

[DomainRecap]

So... sibernames won’t let you transfer out your domains if they are in their expiry period?

If they haven't reached redemption period, they have to according to the CIRA. But Sibername may be fooling around with the "Suspended" period and have lowered it down.

Interesting... I’m 99% certain it became impossible to do so as soon as they expired. This is the message that comes up:

 

[DomainRecap]

You may have to contact Siber support directly, as expired domains require a new transfer code be uploaded to the CIRA, as the old one will no longer work.

It never hurts to give it a shot.

 

[dancarlson]

All the dealings i have had with recent exp domains is that the registrar will want / require you to renew domain before transfer out. I have not looked into the legal requirements if any, I just kick myself for not moving it before the renewal date.

HeHe.... funny guy

Here is what I have.... pretty cheap
https://www.costco.ca/costco-services.html

Look for the Elavon link

I can see how actually charging in CAD for .CA domains may help. I'd be concerned with fraud though. Depending on the type of merchant account you have it would also be possible to enter card numbers through Strip.net (virtual terminal) or Paypal Merchant accounts.

Regarding tickets.ca, btw, I talked to Peter from emall about it. Here's what he had to say in summary:

He says he had no part in in billets.ca - he only sold them billet.ca a while back. Today they already have a good market share in French (Quebec) and want to enter the English market. He's not too concerned about additional competition in the ticket resale business, as there are already a lot of players, some of them really well funded. The ticket.ca was ideal for the client and the price was right, they knew each other and didn't know a broker and didn't have to pay a commission - an easy sale.

Emall already has some strong brands in the ticket market and the money can be used to strengthen the brands more, which takes and awful lot of money and additional cash is always good. He added as an interesting point that etickets.ca does 33% of it's business in the US, which sees as a good sign for .CAs.

He also believes that publishing sales helps the space overall and can help push .CAs, is an undersold market (due to the presence restrictions).

Thanks for looking into that. Do you know if he approached Tickets.ca to see if they had an offer to make, before selling to Billets.ca?

I don't think he has any connections there or approached them. I believe billets.ca was after the domain for a while now, so since the price was right, he didn't need any other bidders. He also talked about domainers sometimes wanting to always hold for more money and how that can be fatal.

Hopefully he also talked about lowballing buyers who don't properly value their brand, and how that can be fatal.

On another note, anyone else notice that Yellow Pages has consistently been dropping many aged, old-school keyword domains - the last few weeks had quite a few and I noticed some this week, such as HouseRepair.ca.

Kinda strange considering the low renewal rates, and that I assume they paid something for at least some of these.

Well there is definitely a mix, some people won't know about it - some will. And I don't always offer Escrow, clearly for smaller Canadian based buyers, e-transfers make the most sense and I steer it in that direction.

I agreed to sales of 3 .ca's all late friday afternoon/evening (to 3 different buyers). All to Canadians. 2 were like, we'll pick this up next week to complete the sale, so I still haven't dealt with how they want to pay. But one kinda wanted to do it right away (a realtor), despite being late on a friday night, so I obliged. But he was insistent on using escrow unless I was willing to transfer the domain to him before receiving payment - which I turned down. He's never bought an aftermarket domain before, and he was telling me about how his friend tried to buy a pure bred dog online and got ripped off, so he was really wanting to use escrow despite the fees and hassle, just for that comfort level. So in this case, the fact that I offered Escrow might have opened the door for him to want to use it. But the reality is, I don't really care either way, its the buyer who deals with the hassle and fees. Anyways, thought that was kinda ironic/funny after my recent posts about it...
