Hey,
I just wanted to let everyone know that we have opened the doors at
http://www.tbr.ca, the site is in beta stage so their may be some
issues that arise and we'll work to quickly resolve.
Some information on the site, we offer full statistics of each name
that is dropping these statistics currently include:
In the future we will be able to provide more statistics and
suggestions are more then welcome on researchable statistics we could
provide.
Searching
Visitors can search by:
Searches can be named and saved to your search filters for use in future drops, eventually it is planned that we would notify you if any domains are dropping that match your criteria in our Featured email each week.
Pricing
Our pricing structure is a minimum of $10 backorder price +
Registration fee of $8.93, making the minimum purchase amount $18.93
Payment Methods
Tbr.ca currently accepts credit card, interac, paypal, moneybookers,
bank transfer and check payment methods.
Bank wire payments incur a $10 processing fee.
Members can also make partial payments from any of the sources above,
meaning if you have cash in your paypal you can use that then pay the
remaining on another payment method.
Payment Plans
We offer an indepth Payment Plan which can be used to differ the
payment into increments for up to 4 months from the purchase date. The
minimum purchase amount for a payment plan is $200.
More information is available on this during the auction and at
checkout, we have included a detailed payment calculator so you can
see the exact breakdown before proceeding.
Bidding Incentives
Currently our auctions are schedule to be held from Wed to Friday
closing from 12pm - 5pm EST, our current policies enable a discount
based on when the winning bid was made. Winning bids placed on Wed
receive a 20% discount on the final purchase price, bids placed on
Thurs incur a 10% discount on the final purchase price, there are no
discounts for bids placed on Fridays.
Bids are defined as either proxy or bids that are made after the
auction has started and backorder bid amounts are exempt from the
discount.

Open or Closed Auctions?
Our auctions are available to all members of the site, there is a
direct incentive to backordering prior to the auction.
Watchlist
Ever wanted to be kept up to date on an auction/backorder, we have
implemented a watchlist service where you can receive email updates as
the auction progress, or if we are able to backorder the domain.
Bidders who have not backordered the domain prior to it going to
auction are allowed a single binding bid that does not utilize the
proxy bid system.
We feel that this gives a huge benefit to the members that have
backordered the domain with TBR.ca.
Auctions
Our anti sniping rule is if a bid has been made in the last 5 minutes
of an auction the timer is reset to five minutes.
Minimum Bidding Increments are:
Less then $100: $10.00 increments
Less then $500: $25.00 increments
Less then $1,000: $50.00 increments
Less then $5,000: $100.00 increments
Less then $7,500: $250.00 increments
Less then $10,000: $500.00 increments
Less then $1,000,000: $1,000.00 increments
More information on auctions can be found here http://www.tbr.ca/terms/auction/
Invoicing
Our invoices are generated after all auctions have been completed
allowing for multiple purchases to be placed on a single invoice.
DNS Servers
Under your account you have an option to set default DNS servers, once
auctions have been completed and the invoice paid in full, the winning
domains dns servers will be adjusted. This is currently not yet
implemented but should be by next week.
Partnerships
TBR.ca is working on a system to allow current registrars to partner with us to utilize our auction system as well as allowing investors an opportunity to partner with TBR.ca, while remaining able to utilize the site without any unfair advantages. More information on this will be available as we iron out the details, if you are currently running a registrar or may be open to partnering with TBR.ca in the future feel free to shoot me an email and I can pass along the information when it becomes available.
Beta Special
During the beta stages of the site we are covering the registration
fee on all purchases, this discount will be automatically added to all
invoices.
Any questions comments feel free to post them here and I'll try to answer them as thoroughly as possible.
Any bug reports can be sent through the support form or directly to
JBrumwell *@* ReadyNetwork.ca
Best Regards,
Jay
