BrandBucket Experience

[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

Brandbucket - exclusive right to sell listings only.

Brandbucket - exclusive right to sell listings only.

You should read back on this thread earlier this past year to learn about the situation and entire “program”. Thankfully to several members here on NP postings willing to share real data and real experiences I learned enough about it, and removed my names, and have not wasted any more time and money on this saturated marketplace site and brandables.

 

[xynames]

Most of the brandables at brandbucket seem to be the made up or misspelled words and those aren’t my bag anyway.

But my statement was pejorative - that brandbucket demands an exclusive right to sell is part of why I don’t currently list with them.

So there’s nothing I need to “learn” if I’m already intimating that I am not in favor of brandbucket. You do know what “exclusive right to sell” means? or why would you make such an off the wall comment.

I think *you* exclusively need to check your ego at the keyboard before typing. Since you clearly know everything about domaining, I made the mistake of responding to something you posted. I watched your nonsense with Domaingang on the other thread and should have known better.

Just wondered why you'd ask me to check on why brandbucket is not so good, when I was already posting about that they aren't so good because they require exclusive right to sell.

Appy polly loggies if I jumped the gun.

So if there is a mass exodus, what will happen in your opinion?

I think that Efty, undeveloped and the other personal marketplaces have affected them..but probably in the end they will still have a marketplace, just that it will be much smaller and not that much of a leader for brandables. Being smaller it's not necessary a bad thing, less headache and sometimes bigger ROI.

I'f noticed that another ex vip BB seller, AndrewRice/brandiogo has specialized in the 399-799$ brandables, a few other vip sellers have their marketplaces, so it's a new trend. In some ways, if you learn how to bring the customers to you, it could do you good.

I'll be using Undeveloped landers as well as putting all the domains in Afternic. I'll also be (attempting to) sell off most of the ~800 names at Dropcatch.



With my names, which tended to have lower BB suggested prices, I figured I needed a 0.7% sell-through rate just to cover renewals, so I view any rate that's too near that number as problematic.

Good luck, Nat!

How many did you have there?

Ironically, sell-through rate would go up

Thanks. I had 804 names there at the end.

 

[likeslikes]

Man, I just put my first name on there the other day and they listed it at $7,995. You guys are scaring me here haha.

I'll let it ride for a bit I guess, but I'd honestly take a fraction of that for the name with a smile. I feel like they may have priced me out of potential buyers in a way.

Continued success, lower inventory and greater sell through rate for those who stay. I think they have SEOed themselves to the top and will continue. Those who have thousands of names will stay and buy up more names for increased inventory for themselves. The “chosen ones” and evangelists will continue to have even more success and the edge of their insider search stats to determine what end users are buying, faster sales lead responses to sell their names with direct negotiations. They will also enjoy to rank position to appear at the top of their search results similar to paid google advertisers. A few domainers will drop their names and the inside trading cartel database will be used to scoop up expired names that were listed before to relist themselves. The business will be run more like a private company or limited partnership as it should have been in the first place.

Interestingly, the name they rejected turned out to be blessing in disguise ) They sell even better and with less commission for me )

804 would be a considerable loss for them. I was looking for a name to buy there and had to weed through so much trash, including meaningless double-lettering (double-littering?)...

Interestingly, the misspelled names make up around 20% of the sales, so I don't think that they are the one's to blame, from what I can see, the pure invented words are selling very bad and also the total sell through rate is down, roughly the same number of sales like last year but way bigger inventory.

Your rate is good, but I think that a correct STR should be calculated year by year as well, because you could have 10 sales from 100 listed, but which have sold in over 10 years, so the general STR will be 10% but counted year by year it will be under 1%.

I don't mind repeat letters when they MAKE SENSE. For example, z-i-i-ne to me doesn't make sense, because double i is not the same as one i in an open syllable, or I don't think it helps doubling K in truck, but I am for names like spaark, knoww, siing, etc.

Also, where does "20% of sales" info come from?

The 20% is an average for this year from Brandbucket sellers newsletter, but the last one wast 3-4 monts ago.... they were months with 19%, 16% and I think that february was the best one with 46% of the sales were misspellings.

If they average around 80 sales per month, it would be hard to believe around 38 of those were misspells...

I don't how many exactly they had in february, but this is the data...a lot of domainers and probably end users don't like them, but there is a segment of end users who really like them and they decide to buy faster than the standard type end user looking for brandables

Just found this website

With trademark sign?
Anyone? @Keith DeBoer maybe?

Hi @talking.domains,
BrandBucket has been aware of this BB knockoff website, hosted in Norway, for some time and is taking appropriate actions.
