The new money entering the domain space doesn't think like this tho... ever heard of the "debasement trade"? The new formula is put down $600 on a domain and if it doesn't sell in 10 years it might be worth $800 wholesale.

It might be, as that's already happened with gold, real estate, collectibles, etc. but I'm not sure I would put .CA domains like this at the same level.

I still think a lot of it is newbies targeting significant entities like the Fallsview Casino or Harnois Energies, and if so, they could be in for a rude surprise.

You definitely could be right on both. Especially Fallsview but could Harnois be debatable? Harnois is a surname and according to my Google Translate, it mean harness in French. My French is non existent so maybe someone could chime in.

Premier Ford announced heavy investment to restore the Niagara Falls region and FallsView Casino does not own FallsView. I figured if a big hotel or tower ipens up they might want FallsView.ca but it was a gamble at best because most assuredly they would use FallsView Place, Inn, Hotel or something similar.

I figured a sub $500 acquisition with a 5k retail would sidestep that and probably sell it but to pay more than $500 (originally I had $250 in mind) was definitely not in the cards for me considering I would be targeting a small regional audience around the falls with no larger target audience available.

Exactly, and I never said this of domain is not worth owning as a lottery ticket, only that you don't want to spend too much on a gamble like this. .CA is not the same as .COM and it's a very small market with its own set of rules.

You contact Fallsview Casino about buying the domain and it you automatically got yourself a court date, and even if they come to you, saying you want $20,000 will result in the same legal snafu. Tread carefully and read some CDRPs to see how incredibly slanted this system is towards businesses and corporations.
