Interesting... there are multiple people bidding on OnGuard - I had a call and got back after my bid time and someone else outbid him.

I think I'm out.

I cannot believe OnGuard is still going. What the F...

I mean it's a nice name and I had it on my list (#7) but this has to be two end users fighting... right?
 
Yeah, there is something up there and at one end user has to be involved. I just like the term as it applies to swordplay and as a brand, and I don't have the inclination to bid against a deep-pocketed company.

PS I don't think a bank would buy it, as they always direct their brands under the parent URL.

It ended up going for $555 (I was out at $316 and I was just tossing out fun money) and I guess the third guy felt that discretion was the better part of valor.
 
Oh man, I just got my WHC results and did I ever pull a boner today. With the huge list of domains, I guess I got mixed up and bid on the wrong name, but I ended up winning and it, and the one I wanted sold for $45.

Oh well.... can't win 'em all.

Here is a summary of what I was participating in and the sale end prices.

I loved cover but the legalities kept me from bidding higher.

Congratulations to all the winners.
 
Google search shows other insurance companies using cover in their domains. And the obvious cover term usage as well. Search for with the quotation mark "Cover.ca"
RVCover.ca
EasyCover.ca
MyCarCover.ca
LifeCover.ca
OutdoorCovers.ca
RedCover.ca
LiabilityCover.ca

Cheap prices imo

I was surprised at how low a price the trio of LLLs went for, especially after all the madness of the first week.

But some of the other stuff was well outside of what I would consider "rational pricing for resale".

I may be new to domains but not to business. What I’m talking about is basic supply and demand and I strongly believe that higher tbr prices means more value to your existing domains. More players in the game means more competition .. it’s not rocket science. I also don’t believe it will happen overnight.

Well, I am a rocket scientist too, and that has fundamental and reliable laws of physics, easy to model & predict nearly all of it except for the most cutting edge stuff. TBR domain investing these days is a combination of art form, a heavy side of data analysis, and a bag of cash you don't mind throwing away.

So I hate to admit it, but @DomainRecap is basically right. However, I don't usually beat the drum claiming the sky is falling like he does either (no offence @DomainRecap ).

That said, I have no problem from the competition aspect. Just be careful. I'd say that the illiquidity and long ROI are the first issues any new investor needs to understand before going into it too deep.

If you were in at $316, I'm not sure how $555 magically makes it and end user? Or was that supposed to be $5555 ?
 
I rescued two domainers by buying their catalogs a little while back, I will never do that again, I have hundreds of domains at registrars I don't want to be at with dozens of logins I have part or full access to. OMG what a mess, I'll be digging out of that one for a while.

I bought the catalogs for specific domains I wanted and would probably have paid the funds just for those domains. The other stuff is barely useful but I will probably hang on to them until expiry. I also inherited a couple hundred .nets, they really agitate me when I see them, don't know why.

The catalogs came from domainers in the business up to 5 years and they spent good money on some great domains when they had funds. As renewals built and everything went to pot they had no choice but to sell and I remember talking to the one guy similar to what rlm is doing now. The guy said he is a business man and knows how to run a business. Well I guess business men know when to cut their losses as well so to a point I agreed with him as I made him a business offer!

I cherry pick domainers liquidating all the time... I have bought whole portfolios too, but preferably on a "push" so I can just let the dregs expire. Sometimes you'll get enough data to justify renewing something you might have otherwise just let expire. There's always a surprise or two.

You were reading my mind there…I was a bit confused how it was a battle of an auction at such a low price. If end users are paying $500 we are all in trouble. :eek::):eek:

I made them give me the entire accounts while I decide what to keep and throw away, will just transfer to my account what I want, the rest can stay to expiry or I may liquidate on dn.ca

My, how detailed an explanation. :p
Click to expand...

This is what I did..
1. Paid my invoice at CatchDrop
2. My registrant account was already set up at RegisterDomain.ca
3. Logged into my account there
4. Selected "Domains"
5. From the list of domains that were in there, selected the domain I wanted to manage by checking of the box and selected "Manage Nameservers" ( Ironically that shows up only after to check off the box on the left to the appropriate domain otherwise you will be kicked out)
6. Update the DNS - Select from "Use default nameservers" or "Use custom nameservers"
7 Hit "Change Nameservers" to complete the process.

I hope this helps and is detail enough.
