It's almost 1:15pm and with 45 min to go there is still no bid on nn.ca since the opening.

I think there are probably a few people wondering where these opening bids are actually coming from.

That's a smart move by a user who understands how the Grape TBR system works, maximizing their advantage on a domain they knew would likely sell high. It's all explained here , along with some examples. If he/she wins the auction say at 11,000 the user's final cost will be $6000 (11000-5000 )

Example 2: You place a pre-order at $300, making you the highest bidder in Stage 1. Stage 2 auction starts at $320. Since no one else participates in Stage 2, you win. You receive a $150 credit (higher of 300 x 0.50 and 300 x 0.20). Your final cost: $150 (300 minus 150)
Example 3: You place a pre-order at $1000. Stage 2 auction starts at $1050 and you win the stage 2 auction at $1500 by competing with other participants. You receive a $500 credit (higher of 1000 x 0.50 and 1500 x 0.20). Your final cost: $1000 (1500 minus 500)

so NN.ca was sold for $5100?

Thank's for the explanation but thats way too complex for me, I had a 15k max bid in mind and was not aware of the above. I just saw the 10k opening and wasn't comfortable not knowing how the number got there before the bids started.
