$16500 on banks.ca with 3 days 1 h and 57 min to go.

I would think it would fetch $25 k

**hugegrowth** · 03-22-2008, 01:01 PM

banks.com is a developed website and publicly traded company, wouldn't be surprised if they were after this too.

**sudesh** · 03-22-2008, 09:07 PM

I would think so, since there is some unusual interest in this domain and wonder what it will end up fetching.. may be the highest recorded sales for .CA... all in time for the 1m .CA domain!!!

Sorry it's just not that good a domain. There are only 6 or so banks in Canada. Does anyone really need to go to a website to know they're all crooks???

My opinion is it's one of those trophy domains. Nice to own but I'd never pay $$$$ for it.

**hugegrowth** · 03-23-2008, 03:22 AM

Is it still in auction? Would be nice to see it break 35k or 40k to become the top reported .ca sale ever.

Who knows, in time more banks might enter Canada. Would be a nice domain for a credit union or ING to use to do a spoof site on the big banks as part of their advertising.

Well someone mentioned credit unions so I'd take creditunions.ca hands down over banks.ca.

The only thing I could see using banks for is a b i t c h site and maybe offer credit unions as an alternative. I mean from a business perspective there are only 6 banks or so and how are you going to make $$$$ other than PPC. Is there anybody in canada that can't name the 5-6 major banks?????? The advertiser market is just tooooo small.

There are hundreds of credit unions however and there $$$$ could be made. PPC or development.

I just see it as a trophy domain. Nice to own but useless to play with.

**revolution1** · 03-24-2008, 09:36 AM

well there is td candad trust, royal, cibc, bmo, laurentian, ing, western bank of canada and a few others so i don't think it is such a bad name at all. You are only limited by your imagination when it comes to developing a site.

**liberator** · 03-24-2008, 12:16 PM

also a popular last name, thanks for the price update

**revolution1** · 03-24-2008, 04:16 PM

**theinvestor** · 03-24-2008, 04:21 PM

**revolution1** · 03-24-2008, 04:48 PM

Wasn't I correct or not.. can someone update me on this.. I think it would hit 25K today.

**Dorkside** · 03-25-2008, 10:42 AM

$26K with 1h 19m to go...

**DotComGod** · 03-25-2008, 10:56 AM

I was the bidder at 16.5 k, my top bid was 25k, so that's why it is where it is now, someone outbid me.

-=DCG=-

**theinvestor** · 03-25-2008, 11:13 AM

Not sure if it's really worth it now at 26k ...

**DotComGod** · 03-25-2008, 11:15 AM

I can tell you I don't think so, but someone really wanted it.

I can get a decent .com for that pice.
