Oh wow.. no posts here.. what a waste.. but monitor.ca was the best.. anyone knows what it went for??

 

[victornumber]

initial bid was at 1.05k. I overslept until 1pm so I missed it by 2 hours. oh well... it wasn't just the name but the 100+ backlinks as well.

Monitor.ca weird story behind that name, traffic will eventually fizzle but still a great name.

This one dropped due to a dispute

what's the story?

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

what's the story?

Ok Ill make it point form...

Years ago a guy named Glenn starts up a News site called Monitor.ca, it goes so-so and eventualy not worth carryiing ( as I read it ).

Glenn sales out to a company called Performance Printing.

Performance Printing decided to kill the site and its service ( news ).

Name eventually is set to drop ( as we know ). Performance Printing is offered thousands of dollars for monitor.ca domain name. Even the CFO is looking into it, all the while ths clock is ticking. Turns out a former employee claims ownership, has control of the name and says it is his and he is renewing it, dont worry. Who actually owned it was in dispute but ultimately the admin didnt renew it as he said he would which leads me to believe he didnt and just spited the company.

Tada it drops, story over.

Been chasing this one a long time... chase over.

monitor.ca $3350 ? if so it was a good deal

 

[victornumber]

wow. that means the new buyer if bought at 3.3k is going to make a lot of money selling (or developing it)

 

[hugegrowth]

that domain stood out this week. a few other good ones too, like dmx, babypictures, soccermoms, nsg, noa, bernice

Congrats JP.

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

No congrats, I didnt get it. The sellers ( company/admin ) didnt renew it which ment I didnt bid for it and never had a shot. In the end a ex employee may have spited the company, not 100% sure.

 

[theinvestor]

Why didn't you backorder it JP ?

Sorry, I took from this that you got it...chasing the story

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

Why didn't you backorder it JP ?

Because it was never supposed to drop.

I was on this name ages ago, tracking the who person to get on the phone, the former employee/admin contact everyone. An agreement was reached but I think the admin contact didnt renew it in the end as he wasnt happy with the former employer.

I guess surprise things happen. and that's a lot of money advertising on ebay jp with the many many extra listing features.
