.CA HealthBox.ca Sold For $2,488 by BrandAim.com (2 Viewing)

Like I said on Twitter, that's a crazy price for an unrelated 2-word .CA domain.

In other words, that's a .COM domain you buy, not something you'd expect to sell on .CA, other than possibly to the owner of the .COM.

Not a crazy price, IMO, not at all.

I can see where some might question the registration. The .com had been developed a long time, so the .ca registratant assuming they'd want to expand to Canada one day.

But in defence of it, there are a LOT, as in like 5000+ {something}box.ca registrations, there is an entire industry of curated box monthly delivery services. IMO it is easily arguable that a curated periodic box delivery service of health supplements or products would have completely been a generic and fair use concept for registering the domain.

So I think its fine, personally.

That's really my point, that buying a pile of unrelated WORD + WORD .ca domains doesn't give you very good odds for achieving a profit on a portfolio like that. And sure, WORD + BOX might make sense to some, but I still don't like it as an investment strategy.

But you are right that the price of the one you might sell per year is in line with that sale, but I still think your STR is going to be pretty bad.

Unless you're actively targeting.

While I agree that targeting seemingly unrelated word+word domains in hopes the .com comes to canada, well yes, that's a poor strategy for multiple reasons.

But in this case, I just know how big that box industry is, and yes, people have registered damn near any word+box domain, so this one might not be the best example for your case.

I still don't like the odds at all and Homey don't play that game.

It's a nice catchy brandable that's memorable. Two nice keywords that get a lot of search for domain lookups.

also it's the kind of name that you can usually get after the TBR when no one has taken it, and I've had some good sales from those in the past. though this year a name like this would probably get taken in TBR.

This was an outbound sale (posted by the seller).
