Oliver BC is "Canada's Wine Capital" and a big tourism draw. In fact, I'm going there tomorrow for the rest of the week on a little getaway with the wife to do some winery tours with friends. Would have been a good one to have...

That's a pretty good deal for a first name .COM (and surname + GEO), but I have a feeling the price was right near the top edge of the 5-figure range, like 6-figures CAD.

i agree, i would have taken it for 10k without blinking, so i’m sure it was quite a bit higher. or else he got one hell of a deal with a very motivated seller.

i’m definitely not a wine drinker so much of this will be wasted on me.

I mostly drink dark Italian and Chilean Merlots. Don't like the Australian ones because they are too heavy.
Will not drink Canadian nor California wines because of their massive pesticide content.
One of my fave wines is Fantini Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOC
Make sure to get the white cap, because the red is a bit sweet. The green cap organic is very good too.
You will not get a headache with this wine, unlike our high pesticide wines.

There's a massive new Dairy Queen in Oliver now so you might like that.
I drive through Oliver quite often, lots of nice wineries between Osoyoos and OK Falls. The vegetable and fruit stands are getting more produce in now too.
Osoyoos has a new craft brewery called Backroads which is right on the highway in town if beer is more your thing.
It could be a bit smokey if that Osoyoos fire is still going.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see Oliver.com go for well into the 6 figures. and not for the BC town, just for being a nice short easy to spell first or last name, very common and likely lots of potential users.

Yes, I'm just up the road in vernon, its smokey here too. I spent a couple weeks in Oliver last year too, and yes, I like hitting up the veggie and fruit stands across the okanagan, one of the perks of living here. I just pickled 16 lbs of cukes yesterday actually. I'll be buying jalapenos too, I just polished off my last jar. It's so much better making your own pickled jalepenos than the mush you get in jars/cans.
I don't drink beer either - just fills me up and sloshes around in my stomach making me feel gross. I'm more of a Crown (or some rye/whiskey/rum) on the rocks guy. Although, i recently discovered that a moscow mule is damn tasty! And I'm also a sucker for a good pina colada, not the overly sweet mix kind. There's a mexican restaurant in Vernon that makes really damn good ones, better than any of the crap you get at a Mexican resort.
Maybe we'll check out Backroads though.

I get stuff from Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery - Local Farm to Glass Spirits here in Vernon, the owner lived down the street from me, but he sold out. They also have one in Kelowna.
The funny thing is I saw the .ca drop in TBR a few years back and I grabbed it and gifted it to them - they gave me a bottle of my choice, got a cask strength bourbon which was fantastic too. I see they're not even redirecting the .ca to the .com though, people are stupid...

Sadly, we went there. Wife was sick, didn't want to go out, sat in all day, then late at night got hungry. So DQ it was. The building looks big, but it is a fairly narrow building, and the restaurant part is actually small. Looks like there may be offices or something else in that building. They clearly are still figuring out how to run that place, the service was pretty scattered. Seems to be meant mostly for drive-thru and not so much eat in. They seemed to ignore the in-store customers for oddly long periods of time while you watch them handle order after order at the drive-thru.

It's the same way everywhere - I go to Harvey's and they serve the drive-through crowd almost exclusively. That, and the Skip the Dishes guys.
We are quickly becoming a very insular, anti-social country and soon the act of physically going into a restaurant may be something we tell our grandkids about.

Our local loblaws, to get a steak and some veggies is now more expensive than going to the restaurant.
Life is getting f'd up
