Agreed, and last week was pretty scary and not a good use of my time to go deep-diving. This week has to be better.
A few other 3 letter domains just snuck their way in
Fiberglass.ca is going to be a contender
Personally I find mnw.ca strangely fascinating.

Sure, but as soon as you do that, they're on the WHC list for the world to see.
This whole TBR system has turned into a self-defeating prophecy where it's increasingly difficult to get any deals, and without deals, your cost of entry and investment risk increases greatly.
If a newbie investor had to be smart before to make money on the TBR, he'd need to be Einstein now.

Or both.
I think over the longer term, this WHC Hot List is going to end up making money for one entity only, WHC, while domainers will pay increasingly-higher wholesale rates for TBR domains and soon it will no longer represent a viable business model. At that point, TBR investor fallout is a certainty.
One the plus side, when that happens, anyone left standing with a big bag of money (*cough* RLM *cough*) stands to profit.

Well its WHC's ball court, they get to make up whatever rules they want. Who can blame them? There's another ball court over at MyID with a different set of rules entirely. Pick your poison.

The interest and prices in TBR always ebbs and flows. There've been years where buying slowed and prices dropped, and years where everyone is on the bandwagon. And yeah, sometimes it appears prices are too high, and some may think its stupid newbies, but it may also be a handful of big fish willing to overpay. For one, they don't like to lose, and two, its good to frustrate the newbies and make them give up quick...

Sure, but this WHC Hot List is something totally new that been added to the old TBR equation, and I for one, am buying less and being much pickier about what I do buy, simply due to the "broadcast to the world" nature of WHC pre-auction bids and the resultant price inflation.
You could say the the TBR cat is now out of the bag, and then wonder if the end game is WHC inadvertently smothering the cat.

Any idea when we will start seeing the premiums that cira took back on the tbr? Thought I would ask a head of time. That way I will know when to sell a kidney to be able to pay for one at current tbr prices lol.
Im hoping you dump multiple at a time. That way it gives those of us that don’t have deep pockets like cough [notify]MapleDots[/notify] cough[notify]rlm[/notify] a chance to own one also

No need to have deep pockets, just need to be strategic. Honestly, the smaller under-the-radar type domains are your meat-and-potatoes business, with a better return on investment. If you put all your eggs in one basket you may wait 50 years to sell it at the kind of price that makes it worthwhile. I sell domains that I bought for $10-$20 for a couple thousand or more all the time. You won't get that kind of return on a domain you spend $3000 on.
Another analogy is that its better off to have a lot of scratchers rather than one lotto649 ticket - this way you at least know you'll have some winners here and there compared to never ever winning.
And if you are set on scoring a great domain, have "Plan A" be to choose a domain you want to use rather than reselling it. Weren't you trying to get Pastry.ca or some domain like that, because you wanted to use it? You'd be better off contacting the owner and making a fair offer (since you probably know what he paid for it).

Great advice [notify]rlm[/notify] in regards to pastry I did. Was nice about it. Then he told me he wanted me to by him a really expensive camera lense, or pay what the estibot value for it was. I knew how much he paid for it as I was in auction. Was willing to pay what he spent, and a little extra. Not full retail value though.
Good way at looking at smaller names. I did win thong a few tbr’s back. Debating on selling it, or turning it into a store. Time will tell.

Dang, and you didn't jump on the estibot price? That was definitely not retail... Sounds to me like he was being pretty nice. Anything even remotely near the TBR auction price would be considered liquidation pricing. Retail would have been minimum 10x over the auction price.
