I don't really expect the serious bidders to chime in here (and no, I haven't decided how far to go yet either) but it should be serious fun for the peanut gallery. And yes, I'm counting myself into the peanut gallery even though I do plan to participate. I'm just thinking my max bid will ultimately be woefully irrelevant.
I think there'd be plenty of very happy buyers for just $5K. Would be good for a portfolio site, public marketplace, a forum, or a registrar, brand consultancy, brokers, etc.... And in this case, we're not just reselling it, we're end users. And its not just us investors, there are plenty of service reps on here from registrars, marketplaces, brokers, etc.. Imagine if GoDaddy decided to bid on it. I can't compete with that, so as much as I'd like to hope I'll walk away with this domain next week, I'm convinced much bigger players will be involved. I've already mentally counted myself out of the running to be perfectly honest. This could easily float down the river like canoe did and go beyond my comfort zone. And I think it could be a nice sale for .CA in general. And if I'm wrong, I'd be very happy with that too. Kinda like going to Vegas and betting against your own sports team, haha, you've got some reason to be happy with either outcome.
