Showcase your .ca's

[Irish31]

Not that I think this is going to help me retire early or anything, but I got the last LNL (n being 2) domain out there.

Y2Y.ca

Figure it may have some decent applications. Also, I just sold wirelessbanking.ca for a decent price, my first .ca sale!


(I love this thread!)

Wow what a tbr day! I backordered my butt off and only got one outright - one I didn't really want... sardis.ca

I'm in on the bidding on six more at pool though.

What about others?

[elivate]

I got 283.ca - my first nnn.ca...

[Jacksplat]

PLEASE DON'T QUOTE MY DOMAINS

I didnt do my best and got 4 so far.

proCanada ca
myServer ca
Firetruck ca
Bombshell ca

None of these are money names but im happy with three of them for sure.

Just checked and got some more. Again, these arent money names.

carmagic ca
cabinetmakers ca
booknotes ca
labyrinthe ca
mynoise ca
flashanimation ca
idealparking ca

I like three from this bunch.. i might have others once i checked on my other efforts.

Checked again and have a few in after-auction style grabs, I'll have o bid to get them. As always, I'll bid the opponent to the max and drop out or take it. If you know my username you'll put 2 and 2 together

Hope that's not you running up the three I want right now! LOL

[Jacksplat]

only an idiot bids early in the game. I snipe everything when possible.

several times last year i would snipe at fastweb which makes the auction go another 20 minutes.. i made one auction go till about 11pm if im not mistaken. The other bidder gave up on one of the two after i let one slide, Possibly a mutual understanding. Either way the name i got from that was just freeking lovely, even more than lovely, one of my top 10 for sure.

Be back in an hour.. gots organizing to do.

[ianccc]

these are the ones I won - also stuck un a POOL auction for 2

infogrow.ca
homefashions.ca
hipsters.ca
eztrader.ca
digitalwork.ca
countrydecor.ca
onlymedia.ca
wintergarden.ca
dumptrailer.ca

[ilovedomains]

I got pu.ca when they first opened up.

[DotComGod]

Well thanks to Nostra I got into a bunch of them,

I won 170 of them and am in auctions for another 344 of them.

Thanks again Nostra!

Wow, .ca seems off to a competitive start this year, even DCG is in on the action.

Wow - for someone who said they were behind on their .ca's you sure are making up for lost time!

And would Nostra be Nostradamus? Did you read some cryptic message that mentioned that in early 2007 that there would be a great tbr day in some land called Canada giving you time to backorder via every registrar known to man?

YW DCG & Congrats!

Looks like a few names caught your eye too. I just hope you leave a few scraps for us fellow Canuckers!

I have 2 confirmed myself so far and am in ~40 auctions but will only go after hand-full vigourously.

Best Success to Everyone in their .CA Endeavours!!

PS: Mar. 10th begins now... Boo Leafs - GO PENS!!! (hehe)

While CIRA can be very cryptic in their communications, this one was clearly foreseeable a la their Website.

What were some of the good names that dropped yesterday?

Also seems like a lot of the names just listed are 'brandable' type domains, and not dictionary or keyword names.

I did some travelling during the holidays around BC and am noticing .ca domains being used EVERYWHERE.

I just dropped PokerAffiliate.ca and Vitimins.ca, I see they will be in next week's TBR. Both didn't get much traffic, but I was half planning on renewing vitimins, but in the end decided there are better names available to reg that aren't typos. I have a bunch of renewals coming up Jan/Feb/March!

I have to ask, what has changed your mind to make you start to accumulate .ca names? From what I remember reading in an interview you were kind of lukewarm on country code domains. Not that I mind ofcourse, the more interest in .ca the better for all of us here.

Adam, I'm not sure who Nostra is but frankly there wasn't 500+ worthwhile names in that drop. And definitely not worth the $60 each that Pool or fastserver charges.

I had 4 top wants, 2 of which I'll probably go to the wall for in the auctions and 100 or so I intended to check after the drop and pick up any unregistered. None of them were available and now I know why.

If you're looking for traffic I think you're going to be hugely disappointed. If you're looking for future resales then maybe the grab everything approach might work.

Or maybe you do have more $$$$ than God and don't give a ******

Such decisions/perspectives are subjective and relative to the buyer/individual and what may not be worthwhile to your endeavours (fitting your business models or otherwise) may be more than worthwhile to someone elses - but not impossible.

To build a .ca complementary presense to existing or expected Websites; or to build new sites and market them; or to sell/trade them or just to gain intinsic value - aside from these few, there are many reasons/possibilities to owning .ca domains (like any other Ext.)

How is that even possible? :greenconfused:

banks seem to like to brand themselves after their own names, and people tend to visit their own bank sites and stick with them, rather than just enter a general term with 'bank' in it. I would see Royal Bank or BOM using names like RBCmobile.ca or BOMmobile.ca. Still your names are good general terms a bank could use in advertising, but value would be limited because they could choose other alternatives with their own brand name in it. Just my opinion... there is always the chance that new banks will enter Canada and could want a good general term for advertising. I think the best names on your list are mobilebank and mobilebanking. good luck!

[whitebark]

Some of the auctions are starting to hit crazy levels. Some of the domains if you were to put them up for sale here at the prices they are at currently would go unsold IMHO.

Still - I've managed to peg down a couple more including 327.ca so even us smaller players can still walk away with something without busting our banks.
