Active Topics New Topic
Not sure who won - but same 2 bidders bid both UDM and UOS up to 5-figures...

If either is here at DN, feel free to DM me about UOM dot ca!
 
UDM sold close to the same price as the previous listing price:

GoDaddy auction prices have also skyrocketed lately, so it's not just .ca - ever since interest rates started dropping the entire industry has gone crazy.

Sure, there's crazy and then there's absolute BATSHIT CRAZY like we're seeing this week. A lot of these prices make absolutely no sense, and it was just back a month ago in September that Elm.ca sold for $1400 CAD and I was the only one bidding against the winner. 🧐

Things that make you go hmmmmm....

I'm also not seeing any big jump in sales or offers that might lead to a spike in prices, just the usual lowballers and non-profits crying for more gruel, so it's kinda zany to see this amount of money (assuming they're legit buyers and pay) flying around with mid-range LLLs hitting 5-figures.

At those prices, which no investor would ever pay, both UDM.ca and UOS.ca better be headlining corporate websites.

But why is this happening? Are you experiencing a commensurate number of record-breaking .CA end-user sales directly linked to the interest rate drops?

I know I'm not and I'm also not seeing these on the weekly sales lists either.

There's definitely a euphoric feeling about a likely economic "soft landing" - less so in Canada, but globally it's there just look a US stock market. I'm seeing a big increase in retail sales lately, but not .ca (.com .co and .xyz have been on fire for the past month).

I've had more traffic and offers at my .COM/.ORG domains lately, but it's the same-old-same-old with .CA, which I think is par for the course as long as that nitwit Trudeau remains in charge.

That's why I do not get these insane 5-figure prices because it's not like mid-range LLLs are flying off the shelves at 6-figures.

I'm assuming rlm is referencing the fact that several people, myself included, are suspicious about the integrity of bidding at catchdrop. Having examined bidding patterns, landing pages of domains won by various usernames, etc I'm not convinced that domains are only being bid on / won by independent parties.

That is not the way a business should be run and thanks for sharing your thought. Does not help me wanting to bid at all. Did someone get an official notification on the closing prices?
