What is the relevance of your question?

Quite simple - I'd like to validate all the claims you make here about BB. I think most users here would also like to know if your claims are based on personal experience.

In June he posted that he is still waiting to get his first BB sale.

You can't cross check because you will never find all my accounts.

Don't tell people they can't do something, or their curiosity might make them look.

I found 2 of your BB accounts pretty easily. Seems you might have one more or so out there. I don't think @Dnbolt would have much trouble tracking you if he wanted to.

I like your second account with 3 keyword names much better than the first one with 61 5L invented ones.

Out of curiosity, why have multiple BB accounts?

I want my 5L names to be separated from my keyword names so I can market my profile page. Also looking at setting up a website dedicated to made up words and linking it to my profile page.

Makes sense.

I personally would focus more on keyword rooted brandables as they seem to sell better, but I am by no means a BB sales expert. Just my opinion for what it is worth.

None the less - I wish you the best of luck!

I see so much more potential with 5L names. Might take another 4-5 years before they become the new 4L names. Keyword brandables are great provided you pay over $200 per name at wholesale. I intend to build my keyword brandable portfolio as well - but I am in no rush at the moment. Domaining is just a hobby for me. Not relying on it. I am a full time day trader.

I agree 5L has good potential for the future, but keep in mind the renewal cost of a large inventory while you wait on the market to mature. There is always a tipping point where you can bury yourself in renewal fees and would only stand to gain if the market became very hot - sooner than later.

Two word domains can be pricey, but many decent ones can be had around the $100 mark if you shop hard, and sometimes you can get lucky on a closeout @ Godaddy or the occasional good one that slips through the cracks and drops.

Also, keyword rooted domains that are invented are selling pretty well. These can purchased much cheaper and easier (sometimes handreg) than two word brandables. Also they have the benefit of having a root word which can be found when a user performs a search.

Brandroot is a small company, Radar has figured out the mentality of domainers. He doesn't want "The Handreg Domainer" or "The Newbie Fast Learner Domainer". No one does! These guys take up so much time and truly believe the marketplace can't manage without them, when in fact, the marketplace would be much better off without them. Brandroot has been brave enough to dump them, by charging a fee, they won't join.

You think BR imposed a fee so that newbie handreg domainers won't join the marketplace, only serious domainers who have high quality names acquired for $$$ would consider join BR. While I wish it was true and BR was a marketplace with all high quality names, but that's not the case.

Just see recently added names at BR, from 11 Recently added names, all 11 recently added names are handreg names where 10 names are owned by the owner Michael Radar and most of them being registered as recent as 29th August.

I believe these 11 are only few names, many are already added and many more probably coming. If I had 100 high quality names all acquired by spending high dollars I wouldn't pay $449 fees to compete my high quality names with some hand reg domains by site owner.

Yes BR was brave enough to dump the handreg domainers by charging a fee while the owner is flooding the marketplace with his handreg names registered last week. If he truly believed and truly wanted "The educated domainers who spent $$$ for his high quality names" he shouldn't be doing what he is doing. But he can because he is the owner and I can understand that.

I have F A R A X.com , Brandbucket estimate maximum listing price $3295 ( Reviewed pricing)
What you think I should list it on Brand bucket or keep it on Sedo and other markets for higher listing price?

Agree with this.

I think BR imposed the fees so more PITA domainers won't join his marketplace. He is, of course, stuck with those that he accepted prior to imposing the fee. He made a post in the https://www.namepros.com/threads/brandbucket-vs-brandroot-which-one-do-you-think-is-better.946436 thread:

They cause less trouble. Maybe that sounds overcritical or overgeneralized but it really is true (at least for us). When we were accepting tons of new sellers it was difficult to track and manage...

1. People were selling names and leaving them published at Brandroot.
2. Many were allowing their domains to expire because it was more of a fickle hobby they dabbled in for a short time.
3. We had many people who had 10 or less published domains and they were the most demanding and disappointed about a lack in sales. This wasted way too much of our limited time.

I've seen people here complain that Michael has a large percentage of the BB marketplace. Brandroot has a large percentage of his marketplace too. The only difference is that BB is open and transparent about it.

Frankly, I honestly don't blame Brandroot for doing this one bit. So many people whine about how this isn't good enough or that isn't good enough, at least Brandroot got off his arse and set up his own marketplace his way. I'm not a Brandroot member, but I can respect and wish luck to someone that doesn't just talk the talk.

Looks like the pay to join BR deal was not made for the “The educated domainers”, but for the masochistic domainers out there.

I am starting to see what I call two word emd's being called "brandables" lately, has the perception changed?

 

[Brandworthy]

My claims are based on my personal due diligence.

Your own due diligence based entirely on the reported sales of others?

Why don't you just come clean and admit that you're still waiting to sell something on Brandbucket? I don't see that there is anything wrong with that admission, and I think it can only help others in their appraisal of your various posts regarding Brandbucket.

I will only admit BB is a failure if I can't generate enough sales to justify my time, effort and investment. However, unlike others, I am giving BB at least 3-5 years to prove me wrong. No one ever said BB was a marketplace to quickly flip domains and retire young.

By 2020 I will give you my honest personal BB experience.

In the meantime, I am accumulating as many names as I can afford/justify.

 

[Brandworthy]

I will only admit BB is a failure..

I asked you only about your personal selling experience. I don't think anyone anywhere is claiming that BB is a failure. I personally think they've built a great business, and I wish them continued success. I have my own views about the viability of their platform from a seller's perspective, but that doesn't equate to them being a failure by any means.

I think it would be nice for you to come out and state what your own selling experience is with them. I wont ask again as you have the right to your own privacy, but I think you should expect to be asked if you continue to offer opinions and advice on selling via their marketplace.

Looks like BB has sold 19 names in the first five days of this month. Very nice!

I'd love to know the average listing duration for those sold names. I'm willing to bet most are recent listings.

I'm sure @Dnbolt can help answer that. Why are you thinking they are recent listings? With the new search algorithm I'm thinking older names are getting a lot of exposure.
