Amazing detailing by Arca in her analysis and observations. Comments backed by strong and valid points. Insightful. Nice to read.

Interesting, I never knew Arca was a her.

The aftermarket sales:
Hipstr - Hipster is one word, so that’s just one hack
Mastr - A play on the word “master” - One hack
Boastr - Based on the word “boaster” - Again, one hack
Plastr - Plaster is a word, so this is also just one hack
Castr - Caster is a dictionary word, so that’s also one hack

BrandBucket published:
Swapstr - Two hacks: 1) swap + ster = Swapster. 2) Swapster - e = Swapstr.
Digstr - Two hacks (there is no such thing as a digster, so it’s dig+ster, minus the e in -ster).
Thumbstr - two hacks (unless a thumbster is a thing)
Stockstr - two hacks
Eatstr - two hacks
Hopstr - two hacks
Picstr - two hacks
Jogstr - two hacks

Most of the brandable aftermarket sales you mentioned follow the standard conventions of brandable domains, by hacking a dictionary word one time. I don't consider the .org and .de names to be brandable. The BB examples do not follow BB's own guidelines, as they add -ster to a word, and then hack it once more by omitting the "e" from "-ster". The "proper" versions of those names are:

Swapster
Digster
Thumbster
Stockster
Eatster
Picster
Jogster

The -ster suffix hack was just one example. I can list published names that are double (and triple) hacked in a multitude of other ways, such as a misspelled dictionary word + a suffix, or two keyword names where one of the two keywords are hacked, or blended words/portmanteaus that are derivative of how it should have been spelt.

There are 4,159 .coms from 5 to 10 letters long that end in STR and they are definitely not all owned by domainers. Many are more than one word and in use which means there is a market for them somewhere. That market may not always show up on Namebio though. If there are many live websites with these shitty names then someone buys/registers them. There's a market for anything it's just some markets are better than others.

How did you calculate the 4,159?

How did you calculate the 4,159?

ZFBot.com will do the trick.

Search: ends in str + 5-10L + .com + not dropping = 4,159

Hi @Dnbolt have you tracked BrandDo?

Hi @Dnbolt have you tracked BrandDo?

Don't think there is a need to.

 

[Grilled]

Don't think there is a need to.

Don't think there is a need to because...?

They rank high in a lot of important keywords. They don't charge listing fee's, and have lower commission fee's than most marketplaces. In my opinion, marketplaces that sell out of house (domains besides there own) are more important to track. Marketplaces don't want to get caught shill marketing, ie their incentive not to falsify sales just to create a buzz. Not saying this is going on, just saying, from a brandable domainer competition stand point, domainers like to know what type of domains sell on each marketplaces. Size of marketplace + sales help determine sell through rates, and investment strategies.

As to tracking Efty hosted marketplaces, why? To see brandables domains that drop, and are available for reg? How to tell if it changed hands between a domainer on NP and if it was an actual enduser sale?

There are almost infinite number of brandable marketplaces and to have all in my radar might not be a good strategy? So, I just measure the performance of each and if it pass the performance test then they go into my bucket.

About shill marketing, it something to definitely lookout for when 7/24 ~ 30% of BR sales belongs to a specific person... Perhaps even higher then Krell?

 

[DnFolk]

Sorry, for security reasons I will have to withhold this information. The wall has ears.

q is one of the least desired first letter chars, so interesting to see that a buyer purchased qraph.com

Real interesting purchase. Do they like it as a graph hack? q meant to look like a g? Suppose time will tell.

As to Q being the least desired starting letter, how do you figure? If argue that the sample size is smaller than most letters given the amount of English words that start with Q. Can you share a list of bb sold domains that begin with Q? I remember bb sold Qashier and Qandle.

Is that “specific person” whose sales make up 30% of their marketplace sales a regular seller or the owner?

How did I figure q is least desirable? Ans: By analyzing large set of data that was harvested. Raymond's blog post: http://tldinvestors.com/2013/07/brand-bucket-sales-inside-the-numbers.html also confirms this.

Another interesting article to read: https://www.namepros.com/blog/domain-data-ycombinator-startups-love-com.973209/

List of bb sold domains that begin with Q? Sure. https://dnbolt.com/blog/discussion/topic/brandable-daily-sales-analysis/

Let's hope the buyer did not confuse q for a g

 

[Dnbolt]

Owner of the domain. I have not checked if this is true for all months.

 

[Arca]

Owner of the domain. I have not checked if this is true for all months.

Yes, obviously every sold domain belongs to the "owner of the domain" that sold. But it would be good if you can clarify whether 30% or close to 1/3 of purported BR sales belong to the owner of BR, or one of the regular sellers?

 

[webcom]

I think by "owner of the domain", he meant "owner of BR"
