For Sale TBR - November 16th 2011

[msn]

Last week had some heated action, so what will happen this time around, and will there be any domains starting with the numbers six or nine?

 

[DOTCA]

Yes we have now!!!

 

[msn]

Then let the games begin!

 

[grcorp]

Just finished reading the whole list. I see a few I'm definitely going after this week. More than last week.

 

[msn]

No domains this week starting with '0' - zero.

Good observation..

 

[DOTCA]

Wow.. TOP 12 picks all went to MyID Group!!!

How on earth did RobFord go to fresh grape solutions, a registrar which I have never even heard of?!

I literally pounded my desk with both fists as soon as I saw this. I was dead-set on getting this name.

If anybody here got this name, please pm me if you're looking to make a quick flip.

Why would anyone want to rob Ford? Are you one of those Occupy Wall Street types? :lol:

Seriously, I would think Mr. Ford is on his way - Fresh Grape Solutions Inc. is one of the eGate registrars, just like the 19 or 20 ones that MyID uses for their TBR work.

Not one of the Occupy Wall Street types... though I have a few friends who are actively involved.

I'll be completely honest with you, I still have NO idea what the whole "occupy" movement is about. I do know there is criticism of its ambiguity. Being apolitical, I really couldn't give a toss about the whole thing.

I did have big plans for it though. None which I would like to make publicly known. But the fact that I didn't get this one seriously ruined my day.

As for him being on his way, that's the very thing which would have made it work. Don't think that incompetence is any indicator of likelihood to be ousted, though. Nobody liked George Bush, but somehow he managed to get re-elected.

Still pissed off beyond belief. I had somewhat of a premonition that this would happen (i.e. it went off to a registrar who I do not have an account with). Guess I should have gone with my gut feeling

Well thought out reference! :smilewinkgrin:

They landed froyo for me this week... a very common abbreviation for the term "frozen yogurt". Places selling this stuff have come up all over the place. Hoping this will do well for me and make up for not getting robford.

Nice one, Chuck! Very sharp to be on the lookout like that. That's a truly "premium" combination of letters.

So, which one of you guys picked up robford.ca in this tbr ?

TORONTO - A website under Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's name is sending all who venture there to the Toronto Star site.

The Toronto newspaper has been in a public feud with the mayor for more than year.
An old website address previously used by Ford — www.robford.ca — now directs users to a message that reads: "Rob, we're sorry!!"

The very fact that this made the news makes me even more upset about not getting it. I can tell you with certainty that what I would have done would have made more of a splash.

I'm just surprised it was even dropped. It's hard enough for a regular person to get their own name, let alone a politician

For $10/yr, someone should have know or at least made a case to renew it on an indefitinte basis…especially for a devisive politician like him. Someone had to have know there was a good chance of it 1) being picked up and 2) used in a not-so-flattering way.


Which reminds me of a local story about Lowell Green. He's a pretty devisive talk show host in Ottawa and someone registered his name and forwarded it to an abortion clinic's site

Green got upset and had his lawyer track down the registrant (privacy was active if I recall) claiming the host's name was trademarked (as far as I can tell, it's not)

I know we're a more tuned in than most, but shouldn't task #1 be to secure your own domain when you're a celeb or a company?
