closed JTF.ca, JTF2.ca and JTF-2.ca

I've been exchanging a few emails with the Department of National Defense (Canadian government/military) regarding their purchasing the domains JTF.ca, JTF2.ca and JTF-2.ca. I believe they're interested in these domains for forwarding to their current JTF2 information site at http://www.ops.forces.gc.ca/units/jtf2/default_e.asp.

I'm curious as to what you all think would be a fair asking price for all three of these domains as a package.

Canadian military? I guess at best they may be able to spend something like petty cash for farewell party or charity donation. Or better still, someone from the unit could buy it out of his own pocket.

By the way, welcome aboard.

Hah, being another Canadian I can see your point! Lets just hope that big budget increase a few months ago included a couple billion for domains, too!

Still though, does anybody have any sort of feedback on this? Even a ballpark "x to x" figure would be helpful.

Nobody has an opinion on their worth at all? Also keep in mind that the buyer would be the Canadian government, so the .ca TLD is usually their first choice.

I appreciate the reply, but that's clearly very low.. seriously now. I would really like one or two suggestions from those who know their stuff. I've been in contact with the government concerning these domains and they're interested in what I might ask.

These domains get a lot of type-in traffic since JTF-2 is Canada's top military unit (as popular to the Canadian military as the SEALs are to American). On top of this, it's the Canadian government which plans to buy them for their own official website.

What sort of approximate figure do you all think I should ask for all three as a package?
