cctld January 9th TBR

[hugegrowth]

TBR finished at Namespro, there were 10 domains with final bids over $500, and close to 30 other domains with bids > $100. Nice start to the New Year for .ca:

Top bids

$2,125.00
$1,580.00
$1,500.00
$900.00
$850.00
$800.00
$690.00
$650.00
$550.00
$502.00

Don't know what these names were, but probably the two characters, and strong one worders.

I got some top bids under $30 for some decent names at Namespro, now lets see if they can grab them!

 

[whitebark]

namespro had a terrible week last week. I had just about every high bid there last week and they got me nothing at all.

The $550 is rvrental, ppv is in there as well I believe.

Some others:
queencharlotteislands.ca $300.00
whistlerhotels.ca $300.00
governmentgrants.ca $350.00
puck.ca $380.00

 

[hugegrowth]

Any idea what time the results are out at Cira?

 

[liberator]

Normally I check at 4pm EST and there available, but I've not been playing tbr as of late.

 

[jaydub]

I try and get bids in where I can and see what sticks...:lol:

 

[hugegrowth]

If you don't bid you can't win - lol

I was surprised with the decent quality in this TBR and will probably keep checking more every week.

decent quality...some of those names are unreal. eg. Medication.ca if i had a couple spare grand laying around i would get after that name.

 

[whitebark]

Next week and the week after the quality is going back down. Get them while they are hot seems to be this week's credo.

namespro had a terrible week last week. I had just

I didn't even realize that namespro provided this type of a service.

 

[DOTCA]

Anyone has any updates yet??

 

[nametrader]

I am getting bored waiting and waiting gone are days when we used to register between 2:00 to 2:15 ....... names still not dropped.

They seemed to do rather well about six months ago but lately they don't seem to grab much of anything at all - even the bottom-rung domains. But then again, there is at least another dozen registrars playing in the past six months... some i believe are fronts for those who shouldn't be getting .ca's but that's another story.

updates are in - sibername and namespro bombed out this week.

 

[thebutler]

Yep the TBR results are up on the sibername site.

Interesting they got second and fourth place but they only grabbed PPV & nicole when op.ca was their top bid domain and it was still available.

Whatever I'm sure they are po'd that they missed out on over $1300 in revenue because their script messed up. If I was top bidder at Sibername I'd also wonder whats up.

Sibername got one name we were after out of a list of 24. BAAADDDD performance.

 

[DOTCA]

I think it must have been payback time from last week, where they dominated the TOP 7 spots.. I thought it was very unreal..anyways.... this week, they have been blanked out. Wow.. I am sure POOL must have done well ..again!!!

 

[Zoobar]

Drop doesn't look right. Reg times are real slow. Nothing released so far, maybe there was problems.

 

[DOTCA]

Well for all I know, CIRA would take their time to release the names and just live with it. They are too lazy to cancel the drop.

 

[thebutler]

Just got this from Pool (domain and auction end times).

[DOTCA]

There you are.. so all is well as far as today's drop is concerned I assume. It's just the CIRA delay....

there you go.. the party is on....

 

[jaydub]

Pool KICKED ***....Siber was not good........Wayne Haroutunian did very well...

With a drop like this all the biggies do the damage...no room for us...lol
