For Sale BU.ca closes @ $13,500

[DropWizard.com]

Wow what can I say.

 

[9MM]

That is definitely a wow comparing it to the results of repeating letter LL.ca's that closed for near that.

 

[DomainMagnate]

Indeed a wow, very nice and great news for .ca

 

[hugegrowth]

because of Bishops University or Brandon University?

because of Bishops University or Brandon University?

wouldn't they have an .edu ??

 

[DomainMagnate]

..and btw there are still about 30% L-L.ca available for reg fee, b-u.ca among them

 

[hugegrowth]

If these LL.ca domains are going for five figures, then L-L.ca have to be worth some percentage of that. Even 1% of 10,000 is 100. There are exactly the same number of each type of domain, and each has two letters. Many LL.ca can't be bought either, because companies are already using them. L-L are just being overlooked in the market now.

I'd like to see what something like CM.ca or SA.ca would go for (haven't checked if these are site or not), but hypothetically what would a LL with two super premium letters go for now?

Just to fit in. WoW! Another good .ca buy any idea who the buyer was?

 

[DomainMagnate]

Whoever just regged b-u.ca, congrats

well above what I expected it to go for, makes me very confident about a purchase thats closing today

 

[petrosc]

LL/LLL.ca are a good buy

 

[whitebark]

wouldn't they have an .edu ??

Most of the large Canadian universities use a .ca domain.

ubc.ca
sfu.ca
ryerson.ca
uvic.ca
ucalgary.ca
mcgill.ca

etc etc etc. .ca brand power.

 

[revolution1]

nice sale. think that its a nice price point that ll's are at.

 

[Beaker]

Great news, nice benchmark. Thanks for sharing the price DropWizard!

 

[Jacksplat]

bu is definately a great LL .. I'm not sure about the west but back east there has been for years ongoing media pointed at the youth in regards to the term "Be You". Could be a possible social site coming up. Either way I'd give this one a good mark and usefull acronym.

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

Bu.ca $13500 and I have FF.ca @ a BIN of $15k

I may be rethinking this one. That is great news.

 

[DomainMagnate]

FF.ca now looks like a bargain at this price. Put it on snapnames maybe you'll get $20k+

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

Always a possibilty. What sucks is their 20% fee ! So assuming it fetched $20k at snap that is $16k here and less wait time where I am in control. So I am simply adding $1k to FF.

 

[DomainMagnate]

I think in the $10K+ range it's ~12.5% fee
