Believe it or not I paid $x,xxx for
rack.ca, and
rack.com was available for $xxx,xxx at the time. Now some rich blockchain guy owns/leases rack.com and I no longer have to worry about a competitor steam rolling my .ca site with the rack.com name. I was recently contacted by the owner of
racks.ca and purchased that domain for $xxx, so that being said the low hanging fruit will sell quickly, you start looking for $xx,xxx or $xxx,xxx values for .ca domains it will destroy the growth of end users grabbing short brand-able .ca names (and I know there are many great meaningful xxxx.ca domains still available).
To finish, I have to say that my smartest business decisions was purchasing a brand able name like rack.ca, we are now one of the most recognized brands in our industry in Canada and we are no where near the same large size of the existing top 3 similar companies in Canada. Can't wait to get our brand in a NHL arena too lol.
