Subject: Re: $5 RackShack Domains

It's a promo.  If they're willing to lose money for promotional
purposes,
there's little difference between losing, say $3 (if they could
negotiate an $8
price) and losing $5.

A couple of sleazy things I notice:

1. There's no mention of it being a promo, nor any mention of what the
regular
pricing is or will be.  You think they'll be selling $5 registrations
indefinitely?

2. New registrations are for a max of one year (minimizes the damage,
eh?).

3. There's no bulk transfer. (see #2)

4. They charge tax(?).  Anyone else in the US charging taxes on domain
registrations?  Do you think RackShack will be remitting that tax to the
proper
state treasuries?


Oh well, Tucows can't pick and choose their customers, can they?
