Nice lineup of numbers, thanks a ton! Rep+

I'd conservatively guess very low $x.xxx then for ourtaxes.net
and
high $xxx CanadianJobHunt.com?

That should sound about safe, eh? (pun intended )

I think the .com is better than .ca because it has "canadian" in the domain. .ca would be redundant.

Another Canadian's Perspective

I think the .com is better than .ca because it has "canadian" in the domain. .ca would be redundant.

I tend to agree with marck on this, and I would argue that the .com is more valuable in Canada for identities that don't yet have a well recognized brand. I don't automatically think dot ca when I think of domain names even though I am Canadian. I think in general that if a company does have a strong brand and services primarily Canadians then dot ca is the way to go; but searchability is not as smooth as dot com when an uncertain searcher is already trying to remember if it is "jobhunt" or "jobsearch". In a nutshell I am suggesting that dot com is first in our collective TLD consciousness rather than dot ca.

IMO I don't see it as a type-in domain appealing to large incumbants, rather more of a nice, clear name for a new company looking to compete in the online job search industry. That being said I feel the online job search space is fairly crowded. I would estimate low $x,xxx as a good brandable name that would require a solid marketing investment.
