For Sale festive.ca

[ianccc]

I recieved an offer for festive.ca
$1800USD - just looking for opinions - should I hold out for more? or do you think it's a good price, I have switched from buying to selling for the winter months - so the cash is lookin good

Unless you know for certain the buyer has very deep pockets or is in deep need of the domain - it is a very good offer.

Think of all the .ca's you can register with that!

nice first offer.. I'd accept if the site has 0 revenue.

if your earning 1 to 5 $ a day, keep it. I say keep it cuz it's my experience the earners from typin with .ca seem to go on and on and on.. not a fluke waiting to drop off after some period of time. Could be luck but I have too many .ca in that situation that never seem to lose the daily revenue.

note: space out the name festive . ca if you can, you dont want the buyer finding it in SE.. it doesnt take long to be found.

thanks for the replies folks, I kind of streached my $$ out at pool two weeks ago (efunding . ca + workmate . ca) and got caught up in bidding when I should have walked away. damm you "pool_1482"

I checked out the bidders website and they look solid, the site has no traffic/revenue, good tip about spreading out the domain, I never had thought of that!

again appreciate the comments

I was trying for workmate.ca (to complete a set), but i never use pools service even if it means losing out on names here and there. Using them to get names only makes it harder on yourself. I work with the little guys and manage to get names for less than 20$. When I get into those auctions the prices rarely stay below the hundreds and thousands. I do quite well without them.

Added snippet: You might want to get the B&D ads off your parked page, the name is ™ and could certainly be taken away from you based on that alone. Be sure not to have any competitor ads there as well. (Hope you take that as a courtesy and not offended)

I should have walked away, I now plan to stay away from Pool and live in my Comfort Zone,
I hope to sell more domains over this winter (I work seasonal) to keep things rolling along, and start buying in the spring/summer when I am back to work

thanks for the info

Kevin if you don't mind divulging - which drop services are you using that cost so little?

Hi Kevin

I guess you were talkin about the workmate.ca parked page - those BD links are from sedo - I just changed the keyword at sedo - thanks for the heads up - I found some others also

smart move ian. Thats a nice domain, and the amount you'll earn with B&D ads isnt worth the generic value of the domain itself. Although it's tm'd it can still make a decent site.
