escorts.ca $30000

wills.ab.ca $5500

Sibername prices. Wills I have no problem with but escorts 30K ????? Considering it's frequently a front for prostitution.

Anyone want to buy my portfolio it's now 1 trillion $$$. ;)

escorts - nice name but crazy price. Someone really wants it but for what? Probably nice natural traffic but if using adult keywords it will take forever to pay back, using like tour escorts would be better but not really applicable considering most people think prostitution not travel when they hear escorts.

I got a whole slew of high bids this week. Going to cost me dearly if they pan out but if you want to play you got to pay! :'(

for escorts I can see it being a toronto.escorts.ca where each escort company pays a monthly fee to be listed. Its a high price but I think it will still turn a nice profit for the buyer...

I'm guessing it will be developed. You only need to take a gander at what fills up the last quarter of all the free entertainment weeklys here in the big city to realize just how huge an industry it is....

Considering escorting is technically still illegal in Canada, you wouldn't catch me developing that domain. A charge of aiding and abetting criminal prostitution doesn't look so good... :)

Obviously the chances of that are slim but you never know. Lots of very hard-core conservative types amongst the Conservative party of Canada and if they won a majority in parliament...

Wills is a great buy - Canada has an aging population!

sibername has updated the tbr for today - namespro got escorts. Sibername missed all the big ticket items. grrrr

On the day I have a dozen top bids I get one domain. Last week I cheaped out and got all I wanted! LOL

Well I guess I can take the girlfriend out with more pocket money this weekend... hehe

well at least I'm in the auction for wills although I seriously expect to get outbid. It's just not worth that kind of money when you're portfolio building. Too many other bargains to be had.

Prices like that just don't fit the PPC model. You have to get in and develop to make a decent $$$$ back.

And I'm tooooo lazy for that:blush:

Just wondering.............
escorts.ca went for $21,000 at Namespro - who gets to keep the money $$$$ - when the TBR registrars try to snag these domains in thier exclusive 3:00PM session.
Does Namepro get the whole 21,000.00 while CIRA gets thier $9.55 registration fee
or is CIRA cut into the deal

If that's the case - I am looking into becoming a TBR registrar - there is room for one more right

A registrar like sibername keeps the whole thing and pays the normal reg fee. Pool splits with it's registrars. I'm not sure what format names pro uses but CIRA is never a partner in the deals.

It is one thing to become a Registrar and another to grab a domain like escorts.ca. I think there are more than 100 Registrars now and just one picked it.. good luck if you are planning on becoming one.. but the reality must be accepted!!!
