    Interesting Domains on the TTC

    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...

    Interesting Domains on the TTC

    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...

    WORD.CA Pink.ca

    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.

    Increase in spam calls and e-mails

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

    Increase in spam calls and e-mails

    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...

    Increase in spam calls and e-mails

    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.

    Dan sale

    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...

    WARNING COSTCO - Severe Allergy Warning - I could have died

    That's crazy. It sure seems like someone has dropped the ball there. I've always found costco employees to be pretty good, so one one hand, I can't believe they wouldn't put up a hand written notice on the glass just to try and cover their asses a little bit. But on the other hand, I bet...

    Outbound

    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)...

    Summer Doldrums & Winter Blues

    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...

    Summer Doldrums & Winter Blues

    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...
