IMPORTANT FORUM FEEDBACK REQUIRED (1.Viewing)

MapleDots · Feb 11, 2021

Hello fellow members..

I wanted to ask if everyone was ok with TBR prices and sold prices being posted on the forum?
Someone said they felt our members might not like the prices posted so I thought I would ask.

Personally I think as much as possible we should be posting sold prices.
It is important for us to document this to show people larger sales and even how TBR is taking off.

Rick Schwartz said this in one of his posts...
He said he will tell anyone what he paid for a domain because it says nothing about the value of a domain. It just means someone did not recognize the value in it.

I know I am misquoting a bit on that, I will try to find it but I am of the same mind. Each domain is unique and if you want it you have to pay the price or look for something else.

Guys, I am eager to make this forum home for all .ca information.
DN.ca does not charge member fees, we do not display ads, we are receptive and listen to our members. DN was built from the ground up to be for Canadians and to become a FREE resource for .ca information in Canada.

I have donated one of my best domains to this project and I will continue to fund any growth necessary, the only thing I ask in return is that you help me build it. If you post .ca information somewhere else please consider posting it here as well. I can only do this if we do it as a team and I need daily engagement by anyone that can help out.

Thank you so much guys, I truly do appreciate your help to date.

There was a time in the past where I would see TBR sales being reported. I am not sure if this was being reported by individuals or by the registrars. Pool.com used to have many sales reported but I can’t recall if that was due to them having auctions as well. My memory is a bit foggy as during that time I was focusing my attention more on .com.

I think as a community in order to build it we must be open with prices. Even if those are TBR prices. We also must realize that the average end user looking to pick up a domain isn’t going around searching to see what price a domain was picked up for. They rarely can figure out how long a domain has even been registered.

So I think the decision should be based on whether we think having these TBR prices public is beneficial. Surely even when you look at these reported sales from SEDO you will see that they can be even lower than TBR prices.

I don't mind, but it's certainly gong to piss off any investor buying said domains for resale to have their cost price highlighted across the Internet for every potential buyer to see. It's hard enough getting cheap Canadian companies to shell out money without giving the lowballers more ammunition.

Personally I think prices should be limited to the very cream of the crop TBR auctions, so as not to artificially lower any sales charts with junk domains selling for 3-figures or something, as that's the last thing the .CA market needs. I'd say a $2K minimum at least for inclusion, but again, this type of publicity has definite repercussions and could lead to fewer big investors taking part in the forum.

I know if I was buying $10K TBR premiums that I hoped to resell for high 5-figures/low 6-figures and saw these wholesale prices promoted on here for all to see, the door couldn't hit my ass quick enough.
