Let the dust settle on today's big domains and happy for the Registrars who are in a goodmood about the sweep.

With almost 5400+ in the mix for next week, it is guaranteed to be more than 10K in the pile and this looks to be the trend.
DomainRecap @DomainRecap your prediction is absolutely correct and who knows we might soon get into the record books of rlm @rlm , when CIRA puts the nail on the coffin.
Wonder if the Registrars who picked up new queues to contest the "restricted release" are already feeling it.
Don't even see one bid place on any of the domains at WHC.

Unless something changes, it's looking like a NO PREMIUMS WEEK at the TBR.

farmstead is a good domain

Sure, but it's not anything I'd pay a lot of money for - I have hundreds of similar or better domains with zero interest.

If I could offer any advice (based on my sales data) to prospective domain investors it would be this - put your money into short, popular, singular words... like STEM, which is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Short and popular words are not only in demand and heavily searched by prospective companies, but with 2-5 letters you get the ancillary bonus of attracting potential acronym buyers. Spending $2K on the four-letter Stem is a far, far better investment than buying ten to fifteen "Farmstead's" for $150-$200 each. This seems like an obvious statement, but it's taken me awhile to fully grasp it.
 
Over 9900 domains on the TBR list by Saturday morning so I think it's safe to say we hit 10K again this week.

Maybe... damn, our economy must be worse than I thought.

Real inflation is >10%. Real immigration is >1 million per 12 months (if you include all the international students who are now allowed to work unlimited hours). And yet our latest GDP growth is <1%.

Did you hear the Liberals bragging about the massive 41,000 jobs Canada gained last month (double what was expected)? If you look at the fine print, you'll see we actually LOST 7,000 full time jobs and gained 48,000 part time jobs: The Daily — Labour Force Survey, April 2023

Don't even get me started on housing... the # of people switching to 30+ year mortgages when they renew is almost as crazy as the # of variable rates currently paying interest-only. Every $1k more someone spends on housing is $1k less they spend on products & services, the Canadian economy is in for a nasty recession imo.
 
Just did a medium-dive on the TBR list over lunch and I think I can safely say that..

WALLET IS SAFE!

Not a single word or LLL that I liked.

Between the double whammy of home prices and interest rates, it would suck to be starting out now.

Not in my world, everything is up insane.

Bought pool sanitizer pucks at Costco last year for $44.95, they are now $89.95 and they give you a $20 coupon.

So $69.95 before it goes back up to $89.95

I am seeing up to 100% increases in some of the things I'm looking at. The 10% inflation number is just a dream, I would gladly cope with that.

The salt water chlorine generators work well, keeps pool chemistry steady with no effort, and at the price of chlorine, it'll pay itself off quickly. My neighbour added a UV light which he claims helps too, but I haven't had issues without one.

I only use one puck a week and I have this UV light

Select Pool Products


I would not go without the UV light, it reduces chemical use to minimal.
