The gfg one was mine. The transaction at sedo went very smooth.

What bugs me with this report is I also used to own fulltimejobs and I offered it for sale on this site with no offers (it was with some other domains being offered). I dropped the name and it sells at pool for 1650 at tbr.. :upset: ...

DomainSpace did you sell GFG.ca or did you buy?

re: FullTimeJobs.ca
You have to keep in mind that DNforum.com is for domainers mostly, and it doesn't have any "adrenalin based auction system". Pool.com attracts end-users, non-Canadian investors, non-Canadian domainers, and a lot of other public, that not even suppose to participate in any .ca auctions. When they all mix together in auction system the results can be unexpected. I think we should be allowed in this subsection to post domain names that are going to expire. It is frustrating to see that your domain names sells for 4 digits, but you dropped that name, that means that for you it didn't worth even a registration name. It is very unlikely you would have sold that name here for that much. I had a similar situation with one of the domain names about 5-7 years ago. I owned WAGE.ca that I ve got during the land-rush, and I simply forgot to renew it, which was my fault and very stupid of me. The asking price for this domain name was $300, and I couldn't sell it on the forum. When the name expired, it was purchased on the TBR auction by one of the members of the forum for similar amount or more. BTW PartTimeJobs.ca belongs to Frank Shilling

The sales are encouraging, however most were tbr sales, presumably domainer acquisitions.
I also think tbr .ca are routinely overpaid in the auctions.

It bugs me too, I ended up buying it and must have missed it here on the forum.

Katherine, most of the reported sales in other extensions are auctions for dropped names (snapnames etc.). The sale is a sale, doesn't matter where it happened. If TBR auctions is the place to overpay for the domain names, then where do you buy them? Sometimes I am contacting owners of the generic one word domain names, and the asking prices are a lot higher than the generics like fudge,dental,fishery,shelter,desktop. Why do you think the prices at TBR overpaid?
