If I frame the question more generically (not limiting to brandable, not having a canadian identity), then it gives very different answers, all of which are generic category defining terms. Its also interesting that I've sold 2 of the top 10 - is that just chatGPT wanting to brown nose with me...

Boy they sure leaned heavily into the true north thing. Not having grown up here (but having lived here 27 years now), north / true north just isn't built into my psyche as meaning Canadian as much as they presume. Undoubtedly Maple is though, with the maple leaf and the prevalence of maple...

So, what did everyone do to replace them?

They shut down their landers Jan 31, been dead ever since.

I posed this question to a CIRA rep years ago and they said its not their business to investigate shill bidding. So if an auction house knows your bidding pattern, they can basically push you to your limits with a shill bidder. This person at CIRA said, well, technically they're not breaking...

Damn, I wanted that one when it dropped. I drive through Yoho Nat Park frequently, and have been backpacking in there. Its beautiful. I think I had a min-bid on it at BM (which I often do as just a placeholder), but then forgot to top up the bids before run time. I think it sold for just...

You can't win them all. In fact, the longer you stay in an auction, the higher the prices go, the more likely you'll voluntarily bow out as a loser anyways. The chaos means you might sneak away with something decent at a lower price. So I welcome it - and if you think it through, you should...

Well, accurate pictures of what's inside would be great. No real mcdonalds hamburger has ever looked even 1/10th as appetizing as what they show on a tv commercial, lol. Had they sued for that, I'd be clapping too. But in this case, it sounds like the price paid was what was published. So...

Um, doesn't every retailer do that? And if they had actually sold the products at the so-called regular price ever, then I don't see how this could be a legit complaint. Buyer has some responsibility to check any prices anywhere for sanity. And we all know that prices on the same product can...

Lol, they did say it may take until after the chinese new year for payment to come through, so that might be march. So no, I'm definitely not holding my breath.

its been good here, but I have had a bunch of recent negotiations that got very close to closing, but then have stalled. Two stubborn people just being stubborn, for example, after a bunch of back and fort I said $10K USD bottom line and they said $9K USD and neither has budged and radio...

yeah, that's why I said to use some icon similar to "hot list" (which is filterable, and I assume the re-auctions would be filterable also). So for me, a simple filter check of what's on re-auction would suffice. I'd imagine we would subscribe to a mailing list to get notified of the...

Speaking of bad phone calls, I made the mistake of answering the phone today from an unrecognized number - I wish it was just an indian scammer. So this guy basically says "Sorry, I don't mean to ambush you on the phone here, but I represent a client with 6 trademarks and we want to try and...

I guess that makes you the King. :ROFLMAO:

yeah, that one was pretty obvious, but there's more then 40 references to domains in this weeks TBR above. Most not worth chasing though, haha.
