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?

Rate.ca sold for $75k at Flippa

https://blog.flippa.com/success-story-domain-names-for-the-win/

Spending Father's Day furiously relisting names on Flippa!

 

[DomainRecap]

I can assure you with 100% certainty that if you accept a low price, you'll never get a high price.

But this wasn't the case, as it's all in relation to what it sold for - it was risking $60K to get $15K more. $60K is hardly "low" compared to $75K, just as $75K is hardly "high" compared to $60K.

If the buyer had offered $5K, and the seller refused, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

But good for the seller, and if it ended differently, he would still own Rate.ca.

 

[DomainRecap]

I had a deal last year for $30K which turned into $40K because I knew that if he can do $30K, he can do $40K. It’s how you negotiate as well. Unfortunately for me, the $40K deal fell through but that’s just as example.

The moral of the story:

Don't read Nafti's stories.

Flippa sucks and it's just a case of a broker getting random n inquiry to a high-priced .CA.

 

[Spex]

I’m curious who owned it previously. Anybody know?

The story says he got it in 2001 when CIRA did a big purge. Given the timeframe, I'm assuming that was when they held their first TBR (CIRA officially took control in December 2000)

The story also says CIRA released a "multi-megabyte" list of names that would become available. Would anyone know where we could find a copy? Wonder if the names on that list would be considered gold or garbage by 2020 standards

[QUOTE="Spex, post: 7827100, member: 963926"Wonder if the names on that list would be considered gold or garbage by 2020 standards[/QUOTE]

I'd be betting on a LOT of garbage as the market was totally different back then - everything related to keyword-stuffing and parking revenues based on those keywords, so I'm betting on a lot of 3-6 word monstrosities that would be laughed out of town in our "branded + phone" short-domain age.

Definitely some gold as well, but hidden in tons of dirt.

I guess without seeing the whole list it’s hard to say but I’m guessing that there were quite a few gems on that list. I will guess and say 1/4 gems and 3/4 garbage.

@DomainRecap We quoted Spex at the exact same time with the same quote. I’m playing Lotto Max tomorrow!

Does someone know what year the .ca extension changed essentially allowing domain investment? I know in the very early days, it was like .com, you could only register names related to a business, organization, etc. you operated, as for early days of .com. The .ca was administered by an academic from UBC and the first domain registered was UPEI.ca. Does someone know what year it changed, and you could just register an available name? I presume it was well before CIRA took over?

I'm pretty sure it was Fall 2000 when it really opened up.
