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?

The image below shows the top ten "reported" sales of 2-letter .CA domains.

Non-reported sales include YP.ca (Yellow Pages), PJ.ca (Pages Jaunes), WW.ca (Weight Watchers). Do you guys know of any other note-worthy examples not mentioned/reported?

Here's a screenshot of all reported LL.ca sales, in case it helps:

I believe some dropped in the TBR the last few years but not sure of prices. Maybe the TBR Guru @rlm would have some details.

 

[nafti]

So we have exactly 8,999 expired domains on the TBR this week and just couldn't get that one more to hit 9K.

Isn’t there a song about that? I got 8,999 problems but a bi$ch ain’t 1???

Sorry, while I have the weekly tbr lists going back into 2006, I don't routinely record winning bid prices on auctions I didn't win. Would have been nice if I had...

Slacker.

 

[esdiel]

Thanks guys.

I was mainly looking for examples of big companies (in Canada) that have use LL domains but were never reported on namebio (like YP.ca and WW.ca).

I think most others were reported, like IA.ca (industrial alliance), DT.ca (direct travel), IG.ca (investors group), etc. I did some spot checking but couldn't really find any other interesting ones.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't like seeing wholesale sales data being reported anyways... I don't want people inquiring about my domains to know what I paid for them.

I can understand, and to be clear i wasn't looking for prices, just examples of other big companies using LL.ca. They're easy to find when they're reported so i was wondering if anyone knew of examples not reported. I learned of WW.ca from the Weight Watchers commercials on tv, for example.

Anyway, I think you understood but just saying in case there's any confusion.

 

[esdiel]

I found a few! lol

Volkswagon Canada uses VW.ca.

General Motors uses GM.ca

I guess there's also TD.ca, which comes as kinda obvious now.

I'm sure there's quite a few more. I also wouldn't be surprised if those above all sold for a lot more than the top sales on namebio.

I wonder if Facebook will ever go after FB.ca. They got the .com but maybe that’s all they want/need. They haven’t started going after other cctlds yet as far as I can tell.

 

[nafti]

I think a lot of these big companies must have used NDA’s but that’s just speculation. A & W is another one using AW.

Nice one! And yeah, these companies scream NDAs...

 

[esdiel]

Presidents Choice uses PC.ca

LG uses LG.ca

Kinda surprised Air Canada doesn’t own AC.ca

Kinda surprised Air Canada doesn’t own AC.ca

They're too busy asking for taxpayer handouts funded by hip-pocket politicians.

Just look at Bombardier - with the billions upon billions doled out over the years, if we just would have paid their employees to stay at home and do nothing, the country would have saved money and they'd still be contributing to the economy.

 

[Spex]

Sorry for the shameless plug ( ), but I've just posted some names for sale that I will be dropping. Please have a look if you have a second

When I noticed VW using vw.ca some time ago, I figured they had made a deal with CIRA to buy it from them. When did two letter .CAs become available? I didn't think they were always available.

 

[Spex]

Dairy Queen kinda uses DQ.ca...they redirect it to DairyQueen.com

 

[andrewschnarr]

W1.ca kinda uses my marketplace...

I think most of them were gone before CIRA even took over, (like pre-2000) and it was business-only use, but many domain investors got around that using innovative methods.

Some low-end ones might have snuck through to the CIRA takeover, but I'd imagine they would go fast after that.

I can't understand why a company like Canadian Tire wouldn't buy CT.ca, as I just hate typing in all that crap when I want to look for something, especially on a phone.
