Yeah, if there's any verifiable racial discrimination, I'd certainly like to know too. And if you've wrote about it in the past I don't remember because I probably ignored it because I had never used them previously.

I was investigating Atom out, if you list a domain for sale on payments (and despite their verbiage saying that there is no fee for payment plans or if so its a small one) it seems there are hefty fees / interest that they describe as a surcharge. I've worked out the equivalent interest rates...

Swetha won't buy it from you for $280K USD???

This is horrible (IMHO) for both recall and pronunciation. At least for english speakers, it's pretty unnatural. While there are some english words that have more than one V in two separate syllables, it is rare. Involve is the only one I can think of that is a common word. Vulva, convivial...

Or maybe you can just inform your buyer how the internet works: cory.ca - Domain Name For Sale | Dan.com lol.

I just forwarded your post to the cory.ca owner.

Technically a plus sign is NOT a valid character in any email addresses. Google allows it as a special case and ignores ALL numbers or characters beginning with the + . Google also ignores all dots. So: I.am.a.spammer@gmail.com iamaspammer@gmail.com iamaspammer+1@gmail.com...

i got it too on ultra premium… https://dn.ca/data/avatars/s/0/123.jpg?1661457747@richard.schreier ??

I know, but to me that would still be a lowball. others may be willing to sell less.

especially if they're fanciful/made-up brandables rather than 1-words, then I can see that atom/squadhelp might be a good option.

that's ok, I don't need you lowballing my domains :ROFLMAO:

yep, I've seen that as well as several other similar type messages from godaddy - even though I have no domains there. lazy programming - not checking if an outgoing message actually serves a purpose - and it can kinda freak out the domain owner - and then make you pissed off at Godaddy for it...

I find the BIN / Escrow.com lander at bodis doesn't sell anything (at least not for me), and that the Make-an-offer bodis lander results in the majority of all inquiries to be from morons who fill out the form (including a price!) and hit submit. It's so bad I now have to first respond with a...

And speaking of getting verified (hey wasn't that just in TBR recently?)... <rant mode> I've always thought that CIRA should abso-effing-lutely require KYC rules that registrars have to follow if they insist on keeping the CPR (Canadian Presence Requirements) - which incidently, I do agree with...

My instinct based on the name and this industry was that it was WordPress related. However, that is kind of a poor name as it certainly makes it open to many other possibilities (as pointed out by others). WPcamp would have been better. WordPressCamp would have been ultra clear. Not that you...

Congrats, that's awesome. Can't complain about that quick of results! 1 sale in 1 week out of 128 domains is like a 40% yearly STR. Clearly a freak anomaly otherwise I could be doing 8 figures in sales per year based on that metric! But I like the thought of it, haha!

2 sales in 3 years out of 20 domains is 1 in 30 domain-years. That's equivalent to a 3.33% STR, so its really not bad unless you're selling pretty cheap.

Those would be more like low end wholesale or TBR prices, but note that for super premiums, all bets are off on pricing, every case is unique. So if you're trying to liquidate some .CA's here at the price ranges you listed, you'll have a shot at being successful.

Do we really believe that a significant portion of leads are coming from retail domain marketplaces?? The domains I had listed at Dan (and their network) stopped getting any inquiries the second I moved them off, like a thousand domains on there, so a decent test. That's why I was stunned when...

I'm not sure how you go about handling inquiries and negotiations, but it seems you need to change up how you do it if you find it that frustrating and time consuming. Maybe just set out your expectations up front and quickly. I'm guessing you ask them to make an offer, they understandably...

Thanks, and yes, I'm trying to remember if I've sold the same end user multiple domains before that weren't related and weren't sold as a package. I can't think of any right now. Although, I have had a guy buy a domain, put it to good use and then a year later inquire about another domain...

Well I like to think that having Gaudreau added some credibility to his company and they saw the benefits over the two years before the merger. And once they started talking merger, the Gaudreau guy was probably the driving force behind acquiring Fort. Since the merger he's just shut down the...

I'll hold off for now, I was happy with both sales.

FORT Insurance and Gaudreau Assurances Join Forces This was last year, but i had previously sold Gaudreau to the Guadreau company, then as they were merging i sold them Fort as well. Great customer, understands the value and inextricable link between a domain and a brand.

Here's what you wrote: It its such basic english, then you improperly used quotes yourself. In essence, you started it, to some degree he just mimicked your usage. So then in the very next post, he wrote: By the fact that the .com wasn't included in the quotes, I think it was quite obvious...

Well I understood what you mean - you put quotes around the cityrealty and in my mind I read that like air-quotes. If it was the exact domain, you would have just typed it, not used quotes. So I think some people are being too anal here, lol. But yes, using brackets like {city}realty.ca would...

Realtors on average are about cheap as you can get. But the few who get it are willing to pay reasonably well. I just checked my records and my .ca sales in that category average $10K. I'd say if its not a super great domain and you need to make a sale, then make the sale (you probably have...

he might have more luck starting a gofundme and actually paying the guy.

$800 budget? yikes. They should just add a couple more letters to get it down to $15.

ugh. her reply was: My reply was:

I transferred 100+ domains into namecheap.com - thought I'd try them out since another registrar jacked prices on a particular TLD. A couple weeks later I've double checked to just make sure every domain was in my account and that I was billed correctly. Mysteriously, one domain (although not...

not me, I lowballed him. It's a very nice name, but I have a ton of them already and i just didn't feel the need for any more at a significant cash layout. and the reality is, its typically a more reliable profit margin on multiple smaller domains than 1 large one. There is only so much room...

No problem - lately I've been too busy with other projects or just life in general to really engage much. I still lurk here every day and if I have anything truly unique or useful to add, I will. If anyone has specific questions for me, don't hesitate to ask or PM.

Unfortunately we don't need any more .ca domainers. What we need are buyers, lol.

I can't say I disagree. I've made a good living from it all these years no doubt, but I am still disappointed in what public price expectations are too after all these year. Not that I ever thought sales alone would be easy though, so a significant portion of my buying strategy was always...

Thanks, that's a great resource and really puts the cost of premium domain ownership into the chump-change category. I've periodically used advertising prices as a comparison to domain names and it makes for a really strong argument for the long term value of a domain name - provided its a...

As someone who has bought, sold and brokered more 6-figure .ca domain names than most (more than I can count on two hands), I can assure you that a 6-figure ask on this domain isn't unreasonable at all. That's not to say your offer is a joke or anything, $50K shows you are serious, and I'm sure...

Lol, I was just about to reply with "no you dont", but then I saw your clarification.

yeah, canada likes to do that. even investment services are self-regulated by IIROC, which is an industry-funded organization to "regulate" themselves.

We should be doing a class action lawsuit against Rogers/Bell/Telus/etc because they transmit bulk scam & phishing messages via text to unlisted numbers. You can't fucking tell me they cant stop it, they just don't want to. These messages are all formulaic, a 12 y/o could write a filter to...

more like whack-a-cockroach! I still get weekly inquiries on an LLL.com I sold like 5 years ago, so they're using VERY old databases of scraped whois data.

Congrats, that's a good day. Any worth reporting?

So a couple years ago I did a test at Dan, moved in a bunch of domains, tried putting up BIN prices on some, especially cheap TBR wins that I didn't want to negotiate over, etc... The results were underwhelming, especially when you factor in the commissions. So a year or more ago now, I moved...

budget?

Well I hate to crap on your idea, and trust me, I wish I could say go for it, it'll work... But I can't. Outbound is brutal which is why almost no one does it. And I hope you're a good great fantastic salesman and have a good great fantastic pitch. You're walking into (or emailing or calling)...

I've sold some crappyass words for 5 figures. It seems they're serious enough to offer around $3K CAD, so they're not total idiots. I think this just requires patience, and maybe even some sales pitch to make them understand the long term value of the domain, the credibility the domain brings...

With them coming in at 50% of your ask, it sounds to me like they're negotiating just for the sake of negotiation. I'd bet they can pay, they're just assuming you'll cave. And for a 1-word? I think you're under-pricing. Offer a payment plan for 12 months. It shows you're trying to help them...

im guessing money landed in the bank account today? congrats on the sale!

I haven't noticed any issues. Not that I was on much.

Well the good thing about this one is that I think everyone sees through this, and that there's not a whole lot of desire for typical canadian businesses to want to sell their products/services to chinese anyways. If you fall for this one, you're the definition of sucker, but I assume the loss...
