While not impossible, I think that's unlikely, as a change of registrar would trigger the 60-day lock at many registrars, preventing another ownership change for a while. Such a move might harm his ability to do a "real" transaction. Furthermore, the WHOIS/RDAP changed from Malaysia to Hong...

DomainLiterati.com (for my little book club)

Lambo's Deli & Grocery - Toronto neighbourhood deli serving classic Italian sandwiches and salads. Take-out only.

I use the light colour scheme. The dark version hurts my eyes....

Perhaps charging a token amount ($1) to register would reduce spam? Disrupting the economics of spam tends to be more effective than trying to use technical approaches.....

The seller didn't break it down any further. I would guess that even the contract didn't break it down, but had it as one price for the group of domain names. It shows the sad state of the .CA and .US markets!

I guess they want to make themselves an intermediary, to take $50 or $69 or $129 (or whatever they're pricing themselves lately) plus a percentage. But, a motivated buyer will figure out the true contact info, eventually.

Not a domain name deal, but if you use ChromeOS, there's a nice deal for a Chromebook that was mentioned on RedFlagDeals: [eBay.ca] [Black Friday] IdeaPad Slim 3i Chromebook - $247 w/ code - RedFlagDeals.com Forums I bought one myself. (y)

I don't currently use BlueSky, but it's nice to have options and competition. It keeps X/Twitter from getting too powerful, if there's competition. I like that BlueSky allows one to have domain names as usernames. X/Twitter should adopt that too, but go even further --- whoever has example.com...

Clear tie to Canada. e.g. your Waterloo.com obviously is a Canadian city.

It's nice to see others converge towards the optimal negotiating strategy. (y) Given his finance background, it's not his first rodeo!

I added that recently too. Even better would be FIDO U2F security keys, though (like Yubico Keys, Google Titan, etc.)
