This was covered quite extensively in the domain blogosphere back in the day. Of course I got criticized in some quarters for 'interfering' with an expired domain flowing to auction, but the former owner (a Toronto artist) had died and I was trying to help his estate out. In the end, the domain...

On the flip side, I do know from experience that if I buy ANY domain via Afternic, regardless of who owns the domain, I get charged HST by GoDaddy. In other words, if I buy a premium domain that is listed on Afternic, that is owned by a third party, including third parties who are not in Canada...

I am not a tax accountant and certainly don't know the specifics about how GoDaddy handles things, but as a general rule of thumb, when I have overseen deals where the Buyer is based in Canada and the Seller is based in Canada, and the Seller is required to collect HST, and the Buyer is...

My slightly OCD mind thanks you!

Happy to be a sponsor. I had been thinking recently about how much this forum has grown over the last few years, and how much personal and professional enjoyment I have gotten out of it, even though I am more of a lurker than a poster. And then when I saw you were looking for sponsors ... bingo...

Every time I see Stratus.ca mentioned I immediately think of Trish, so I may be dating myself, lol. #IYKYK

Buyer should be happy he got a response at all. I wish I were so lucky 100% of the time!

Thanks all. This was my second one-word .ai domain sale. I now only have one left, which objectively is my best one-word .ai domain, and it gets the most inquiries and offers. I will play the long game with that one. I picked up all three domains from the drop in summer of 2021, for a very...

Ahh, figured it out. It's one of those online-only clickbait kind of 'publications'. Not saying this was a paid article, but I have seen other brokerages (not mine) deploy the paid article strategy. That being said, I have nothing but love and respect for Drew. We have done lots of deals...

Toronto Tribune? I lived in Toronto for 30 years, have never heard of that publication.

Great to have you hear @Miles! Signed, A generally happy WHC customer

[ puts marketing hat on briefly... ] Not sure if that customized copy is yours, @MapleDots, but "registrants" is a word that zero percentage of the general public will understand. I would suggest a better word would be "owners" or "users" or something that potential end-user buyers will...

The other "gotcha" with Afternic/GoDaddy is that if you BUY a premium domain through them, you will be charged HST if you provide a Canadian address to them when setting up your account. In other words, the $5,000 premium domain you could buy on Sedo will cost you $5,650 if you buy it via...

Yes, C$104.00 to reg, renews at $119.99/yr, not sure if you are forced (by registry) to reg for two years, probably...
