Efty host over 200+ sites, would be nice to get a subset which are strictly brandable or premium just like namefork.com
Only way is to look at each one by one?

Hope your not planning to do what I think you have in mind?

@Dnbolt

Is it possible to get a daily sales list from Brandroot and Namerific?

Brandroot was up before, but someone messaged me explaining that brandroot doesn't hide data like brandbucket so I took it down. Next target is namerific or novanym still contemplating which is more juicer.

@Keith DeBoer has helped me improve a complicated algorithm that I have been working on for months checkout his blog here: http://dngeek.com/2016/10/brandable-insider-keywords-y-combinator-startups/
How? Venn Diagrams

*Actually no point, majority of namebio sales with recent regdates are from drop catchers

I think Novanym only has around 500 names and Namerific close to 5,000 so analyzing the larger group makes more sense. I always forget that Brandroot shows their sales on their homepage. Thanks for the reminder. Brandsly is another one that has a pretty good amount that could be analyzed also.

Any thoughts as to why BB sales have fallen off a cliff?

I know the lady the runs brandsly it's in my list too

Why has brandbucket sales decline?
1.Maybe @Grilled prediction is manefesting?
2. Efty is causing a disruption?
3. Names secretly shifting from brandbucket to brandroot?
4. Top players pulling out their domains from brandbucket?
5. A slow season?
6. Buyers now knows domain cost $10 ?

There lots of possible reasons

I'm asking this because I did not have the time to do the research.

Have the sales fallen off the cliff compared to last year?

I know that BB is going back to 'quality' over quantity; hence the reject rates are higher these days. The 'quantity' approach (of buying lower end names) didn't really work well for them over the past year. .

Maybe with higher quality there'll be more sales. Someone did make the point that good names seem to be drowning in the midst of low quality names.

Sorry if this isn't coherent, I'm in the midst of a lot of stuff.

Btw, what's up with these domains that just sold for $720? I had no idea BB had domains that were priced that low. I guess it was the -20%.

I don't know what's up with that -- I thought the same thing. I thought the lowest price was $995, which if you take the max 20% off of it would still only bring it down to $795.

Currently Published Domains under $795 ~ $595 being the lowest

Thanks for that Chris, it was interesting seeing ExaTube.com as I just picked up ExaCube.com at auction the other week.

How do you think about AsPlus.com? very aged, 21 years old.

I was surprised to see that EmailBlitzer belongs to Boxador. Wow! That would have been soooo 'Rejected' for everyone else.

Not too surprised here. Boxador has lots of domains from the early days.Given it's their marketplace, they can guarantee exclusivity and renewals. Back then, they needed inventory. And by back then refer to @equity78 post below from page 8 of the BBE thread posted July 14th, 2013.

Starting to see some names listed under $1000, icoip.com, and emailblitzer.com being the lowest. $595.

It appears bb sold ICOIP.com the other brandable under $1,000 mentioned by @equity78

FWIW I think Novanym are branding specialists, and watching their inventory would be much more fruitful than watching Namerific. I think they put quite a lot of work into their names.

As a former seller on Namerific, I know that my names didn't move at all there after the change in ownership a couple of years ago. Not sure there's much to be gained watching them.

Regarding the low prices and such,...
Earlier this year, I handregged a nice 6L name . The name was sure fit for BB. I tried to submit to them but the system kept saying name already exists. I emailed them and I was told it was a previoualy accepted name (2009) and the owner never published. They moved the name to my account and it had 595 $ price.

I again I emailed telling them this price is absurd. They told me not to worry and wait for new evaluation as back then names were priced 595 , 795 etc but since then the market has come a long way.

They changed the price to one of their normal prices.

So these names are old which they are yet to re-evaluate based on current market prices.

I was only referring to this month. As of yesterday when I checked they had only 46 sales in 20 days. That's really off pace of what we normally see there.

Ofcus registered in 2014 sold for $720 and Orluc registered in 2016 sold for $715. So these are not names that were priced years ago. Orluc was priced only a few months ago.

On the contrary, Orluc dropped 3 times.

Archive.org confirms this domain was listed on bb as early as September 8th, 2014. (earliest record of brandbucket.com/orluc)

Did the domain end up selling at a higher price yet? Perharps, there are endusers searching for the lowest priced brandable on bb and you could have missed out on a small profit (pending you didn't set the logo to $500). $595 - 30% = $416... if you set the logo to $500 hypothetically speaking, you would have owed them $84 after the sale.

Ok so it was priced 2 years ago. Why does that matter? Abdullah was talking about names from 2009 not 2014.

Abdullah mentioned the domain he was talking about was originally approved in 2009 and since then market pricing has came along way. When did the market pricing change: 2009 or 2014? My post was to demonstrate they were still pricing domains under $995 as late as 2014. Theory would be debunked if domains were approved at lower price around 2009, and not published until 2014.

As for the registration dates of the other domains priced under $795:

Domain - WHOIS Date Registered - Earliest Archive.org record forwarding to bb

C/uviva - March 16th, 2016 - July 27th, 2014
E/xatube - May 5, 2014 - August 10th, 2014
E/xeen - March 9th, 2014 - June 4th, 2014
P/losko - June 29th, 2014 - July 29th, 2010 (listed at $1240)
E/mailBlitzer - May 19th, 2005 - May 26th, 2008 (listed at $495)
K/ovesi - March 16th, 2016 - August 25th, 2014
