2690 Domains in the list at the time of posting this. I can feel the numbers and quality decreasing. Will there be a straw or a SOK next week?

These lists are depressing and even the junk gets bid up to the stratosphere.

And remember to stay safe this week, kids, as it's the...

WEEK OF THE WHC $2.99 DOMAIN DROPS

Yes Virginia, about 1 year + 45 days ago WHC had a $2.99 sale on .CA domains and a lot of people (like me) went a bit hog wild on cheap domains. Luckily I sold a few, so I renewed the obvious ones, then did some deep-diving on the rest, renewing those with the potential to sell, before dropping the absolute bottom of the barrel junk.

I'm sure I'm not alone, so when doing WHOIS searches, watch out for domains last registered at WHC in 2020 between the end of June and the first week of July....

Don't say I didn't warn you, because I have a list of my $2.99 drek and I'm just waiting to see how many get picked up on this week's TBR. *JOKINGLY*

Thanks for the heads-up. Better to stay away then..

I realize you're just being facetious, but it is a pretty bad week, even without the cheap WHC castoffs. We just need to be careful to steer clear of WHC Fool's Gold that has permeated this particular TBR list.

People were hand-registering $2.99 .CA domains like drunken sailors that week and even I found a couple of them on my initial list. Even though they'd never qualify for my final list anyway, I deleted those two immediately.

Honestly, I wasn't. I was thinking that it could save me a lot of time, being the last week in August, when I can spend time with family.

I found that hilarious.
