Well TBR connections are paid for yearly, just like the registrar fees. So they would both just expire, I don't think you can sell them, the best you could do would be work with another registrar. So I'm guessing its one of two scenarios. Either the renewal came due and they failed to pay, or...

So no notifications from CIRA about this? That's lame. At least you know not to waste your time with catchdrop/registerdomain, go straight to CIRA and bug their support.

Am I the first to notice? It looks like this mostly took place on March 24 (that's when all the Updated dates are). Can I say ya should'a seen this coming? Better question is, did anyone get notice from CIRA that they took control of your domain (for safe keeping of course) ? Check whois on...

Their appraisal tool is there to help them make sales because that's the only way a brokerage makes money. So on the low end, they want to convince buyers that any crappy domain is worth at least a couple $K or more. Obviously the low end sales like that is where all the liquidity is because...

There certainly are successful ones out there, but now you have to educate the public instead of it being intuitive, and that takes time and money too. I think the double i dots look like umlauts as if it were some German thing, from a quick glance or from a distance you might think Prüde ?

Well it just seemed funny that your first post on a .CA forum was slagging .CA. But, you don't think people lowball .com too?? I got a $4000 offer on a 1-word .com this week and he was white as Wonder Bread. As sellers we should put up BIN prices and minimum offers or otherwise fully expect...

Sounds like you're in the wrong forum then.

Oh I know, I get lots of them. It just astounds me that they think they'll get a reply. And I guess that is the point I was making, they probably don't want a reply. They know they've got a buyer who's just going to waste their time.

Just got this one. Can't believe a broker would even lead with an offer like this. But I guess they got paid to do it and a nice low offer like this just means they won't have to even deal with a response. Hi Sir/Mam, I'm contacting you today from GoDaddy's Domain Broker Team because we have...

Of course they're just trying to knock you down, they've got nothing to lose. But it does indicate they are actually interested in acquiring the domain. Some potential buyers are just small-time and will never be able to afford the domain, but others CAN afford the domain, they just dont WANT...

Lol, nice to know that a team spent countless hours studying something anyone could intuitively tell you was true. The surprising part is that Microsoft.com is a wordpress site hahaha.

I don't believe this is an outright scam. It seems that there are many people who do buy adsense accounts who know how to arbitrage them, buying cheaper traffic from other sources, then making more from adsense than they spend. I'm guessing there is some risk of Google shutting down the...

Well obviously I'm not dumb enough to fall for that. Nor am I seriously considering the offer because I actually want to keep my account. So assuming they were willing to use Escrow.com and follow through, I just want to know what the advantage is to them. I am also naturally suspicious and...

Some classic scams there, but the average person with common sense should be safe from those. I think many of those scams target elderly and other immigrants who also don't know much about the system here, or will be too afraid to raise a stink. And we all know that the Canadian Gov't and...

That doesn't seem to be the scenario since they offered to buy the account and use Escrow.com.
