I have bought 2 sites from Odys Global and they have both been of high quality with great backlinks. I have used one as the basis for creating a new site with a great DR and the other is a redirect with again high DR backlinks. Other sites I have looked through have low quality backlinks, mostly spam. I highly recommend this company for reliable sites.

I’ve bought over 30 domains from Odys Global in the last two years and I was always very satisfied. Besides great quality, niche-specific auction domains, Alex also helped me a lot with SEO and marketing strategies. Auction domains are not cheap, but quality comes with a price. If you have the budget and a working strategy, these domains will make you serious money.

Earlier this year, I purchased an aged domain from Odys as part of a promo they’re running at the time. It was my first experience with buying an aged domain so I wanted to keep my spend low. I ended up getting a mid level DR domain for a good price. The domain had solid links from niche relevant high authority websites. I used the site as a 301 redirect to a blog I had recently started. Within a few weeks I enjoyed new traffic levels on my existing site. Happy to say that the Odys staff are friendly and helpful and they run a great business that is respected within the industry.
HMCS Sackville
Flower Class corvettes were originally intended for coastal escort and mine clearing work. Derived from a whaler design, they were simple, highly seaworthy vessels that could be constructed in secondary yards. The dire lack of ocean escorts early in the war necessitated their being used to screen convoys traversing the North Atlantic between Nova Scotia and the UK. This was a role for which they were ill-designed, and their crews suffered accordingly. The Flowers were wet, highly cramped and impossibly lively. Many sailors could not adjust to the exhausting routine. Compounding the misery was the inexperience of the crews, most of whom had never been to sea. But any escort was better than none at all, so the yards continued to turn out Corvettes. 120 were built in Canadian yards, and slightly more in the UK. The US, Free French and Norwegians also used Flower Class corvettes, but the overwhelming majority saw service with the Royal and Canadian navies.
Sackville port profile.jpg (11084 bytes)The HMCS Sackville was part of the 1939-40 building program. Constructed at Saint John, New Brunswick, and commissioned in late 1941, she had the short forecastle "whaler" appearance characteristic of early construction. During periodic refits she was altered -as were all corvettes- in an attempt to make her both more habitable and a more capable anti-submarine escort. Her forecastle was lengthened, mine-clearing equipment eliminated; and anti-submarine capabilities enhanced via improved radar and ASDIC, Hedgehog ASW mortars, and a heavier depth charge load. Sackville has been meticulously restored to her late war 1944 fit, and carries the aforementioned enhancements.
She is the only surviving Flower Class Corvette anywhere in the world and is on display at Halifax, Nova Scotia May through October. Modelers should be aware that she is Canadian construction, hence the pom-pom tub is further aft than on UK constructed vessels, and her deckhouse extends further aft. I highly recommend "Corvettes of the Royal Canadian Navy: 1939-1945" by Ken Macpherson for further information (click here for my review). This excellent publication is still in print. Every Corvette modeler should have it. Another outstanding publication is "The Flower Class Corvette Agassiz" by McKay and Harland. It is part of the Anatomy of the Ship series and is the absolute last word on Canadian Corvettes -160 pages, of which 120 are line drawings. It's out of print but worth tracking down. And for those of you partial to videos, rent or buy "The Cruel Sea", a 1952 British movie about a WW2 Corvette crew. It's available from Amazon.com for US $13.
I wish to express my thanks to Ian MacCorquodale of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, for these fine photographs. Ian waited for ideal lighting conditions before photographing Sackville, and put great effort into capturing her essence. It shows in these excellent photographs. A ship as important in WW2 naval history as the Flower Class Corvette deserves as much, and Ian has done her justice.
