Yellow Pages (YP.ca) TBR Drops (1.Viewing)

DomainRecap · Dec 5, 2020

What does everyone think of this constant stream of generic Yellow Pages .CA drops?

I just saw another one today:

CreditReport.ca

Now I am certainly no fan of multi-word generics in 2020, but what does everyone else think? Does this type of domain still represent a viable investment platform, and if so at what price, or is YP just casting off the dead wood?

I heard they spent around 25 million getting some of the domains.
I think the redflag forums were probably one of their best buys.

I targeted them once because they own yellow.ca and redflagdeals.
I said yellow and red would be a good combination but I never heard anything back.

YP is definitely emptying the garbage bin. I even tried to contact them a few months back offering to buy the stuff they're dropping. Not even a response.....

They did spend $2.5 million back in 2008 (maybe 2009) for 400 names from Peter Maxymych. I am not sure how much they have spent since then. I do know they paid 5 figures for eat.ca but I don’t believe that price was ever made public.

Interview with Peter about this deal: https://www.domainbits.com/peter-maxymych-emall-ca/

Looks like most of the articles about the sale are not online anymore. Peter has done many things and spent lots of money trying to move .CA space upward in value.

CreditReport is a great one to me.
