EMPLOIS.ca may set record!

[domainatrix]

With 1.5 hrs to go, EMPLOIS.CA (the equivalent of jobs.ca), is already at $17,650. Will this break through the mark set a few weeks ago by BANKS.CA at $41,000?

We have a client that has set aside $20K for emplois.ca but I don't think it will be enough this time around.

I recently spoke with someone about a private sale for "money.ca". Apparently it was sold, or partnered for $50,000. Then, I read yesterday that "money.co.uk" may have sold for over $2 million. Makes "money.ca" seem like a pretty good investment.

Any guesses where "emplois.ca" will end up? I say "$42K"

I don't think it will beat banks.ca, but it's pretty high quality for a french word. Usually the price drives up at the end, so if it's already at about 18k, it could easily get into the 20k or 30k range. With a good site, selling ads direct, etc., it's a business, not just a domain. So yeah, maybe it could beat banks.ca. I'd personally rather have emplois than banks.

Its was still an operational website this year, if you google it and look at cached you will see. I think that fact will really increase the value.

crazy...

I am sure its gets a ton of traffic with the Canada Govt having a running site at emplois.gc.ca

12surfer had this for sale a year ago here:

could be a headache for the new owner, if the old owner gets agressive. would be a good test of the Cira system, though.

the new owner could let them use emplois.qc.ca as a compromise.

record broken, now over 55k

[domainatrix]

I guess my $42K prediction was a bit low-ball!

I think this is a new record for open .CA sales

emplois.ca CLOSES @ $56,200

[hugegrowth]

Maybe this one will make the mainstream press... very nice auction! Now, will anyone here admit to being the winner?

[Kamloops]

This is great for .ca!

[PeterMan]

I am a bit confused by this, I thought that once a name like 'emplois.gc.ca' was used, the .ca could not be used...

Or is that only for provincial sub domain like .on.ca?

[hugegrowth]

Domain: emplois.gc.ca is not available
01113 2nd level must be a province or territory code (on,qc,nl,pe,nt,nu,bc,ab,nb,ns,yk,sk,mb).

Now, will anyone here admit to being the winner?

I wouldn't be surprised if Shaun & Rob won this one.

[Daem0n]

$56200?! wow!

[sudesh]

I wouldn't be surprised if Shaun & Rob won this one.

[RazorNF]

It wasn't me ... just so we can narrow it down LOL

works for me goes to http://jobs-emplois.gc.ca/

[sudesh]

Not me either.. so please take out of the equation.. I am being very honest here... trust me pl!!!!!

[hugegrowth]

it means gc.ca is not a valid 2nd level domain.

on.ca
nu.ca
bc.ca etc. are valid second level domain extensions.

emplois.gc.ca is really hosted on gc.ca, it's just a subdomain.

maybe someone else can explain it better than me.

if you look up bc.ca or on.ca, you'll see they are restricted, because they can be a second level extension for any .ca that anyone buys.

look up gc.ca, it's an actual domain owned by the government.

if you reg example.ca, you can also get example.bc.ca or example.on.ca, any of the province or territory extensions above.
