I heard there were very low numbers of people at this domain show. I am not sure if somebody on DNF.com was kidding or not, but they said something like 8 people? Source
The Live Auction never happened and was moved to a Online Auction only which clearly didn’t perform either. The auction provider was new into the domain auction game, Fusu.com. Only 38 lots were available with only 10 meeting reserve during the online bidding. DQF.com is still at auction with the current bid at $7,200. The domain names that had bids and reached reserve are as follows:
- CanadaTrademarks.net $220
- CanadianPub.com $420
- Quality.ca $4,800
- DownloadPDFs.com $120
- ChargerKits.com $310 (most bids with 49)
- CelebrityNews.ca $230
- Climb.ca $2,500
- BuyLand.ca $100
- uDonate.net $2,500
- ParkingDemo.com $101
26% sold with 6 of the10 selling for Less then $500. Total sold, $11,301
You can see the full domain list and what got bids but didn’t hit reserves here.

uDonate.net? Who in their right mind would even spend even seven dollars on that, much less $2,500?
These are not primo domains. Only Chargerkits.com sounds decent, but even still it represenets several charging products which is not good.

I think that BuyLand.ca went for a steal.
Climb.ca would me a great site highlighting rock climbing areas in Canada as well as selling rock climbing equipment, I think that domain was well priced for the buyer as well.

Hi Jamie,
We actually had 30 attendees at the event and for a first time auction I don’t think selling 10 out of 39 domains is all that bad.
Thanks for the post,
