I'm looking to trim back my portfolio and thought I would try liquidating some.

Prices are BINs in the chart below, and includes a renewal for another year as part of the purchase price.

A couple domains are close to being deleted, and I will eventually delete this topic, so don't wait too long if you're interested.

I can be contacted using the forum's email form here at this link: https://dn.ca/email/79/

Money can be sent by e-transfer or paypal, and I can accommodate either a push or give you the auth code.

Thanks.

Thought I'd also mention that I haven't done any outbounding for any of these domains.
 
FYI: The domains i listed with GoDaddy are currently on pause.

I'm just noticing now that GD is asking for a $63.23 redemption fee + the renewal fee, so I'd be selling at a loss if i were to sell any of those for $50.

This is the first time ive ever seen them charge a redemption fee and I wonder if it's a mistake, glitch, or a change in policy. I also pay for their domain discount membership so I'm hoping it's just a glitch. If it was a change in their policy you'd think we would have at least have been given a heads up. Not impressed...

30 days grace after expiration I believe, then the redemption fees kick in.

That's how many registrars operate but I've never seen GD charge a redemption fee for a .CA no matter how late I renewed, and ive had an account there since 2011. It was one of the things I've come to like about them because I think these additional fees are absurd, and arbitrary given every registrar charges a different price and they can vary greatly. The screenshot above doesn't include taxes yet either, so the real total is $86.48 to renew.

I did however recently learn that GD did charge a redemption fee for regular accounts while I was helping a friend, but i don't even know for certain whether that's new or not. I've been paying for the "discount domain club" since 2013, not necessarily to avoid redemption fees but just for cheaper renewal prices, and this is the first time in 10+ years that i've ever seen a redemption fee tacked-on for a .ca.

At first i figured the difference was because I was paying for the discount club membership but now it seems like they charge the fee regardless. I'm gonna have to make some calls tomorrow to find out for certain. Pretty sure I'm done with GD if it's the case. There's no point or reason for me to continue paying for the discount club if other registrars charge less for renewals (with no membership fee), and while their redemption fees are significantly less. That said, one bonus about GD is they can accommodate a push if you were to sell a domain on a marketplace like Dan while the domain is still under the 60-day lock.
