Brandbucket Challenges Dnbolt For Reporting Sales Data

[Dnbolt]

Hi guys today I made a final decision to join namepros. I don’t normally participate in forums discussions etc. I have BIG concern that I want to share with you and get your opinions.

Little bit about myself: l am a student, I recently developed interest in data, I am a part time domain investor, I spend most of my time creating unbeatable algorithms and finally as you may know I publish BB sales at dnbolt

About a year I started developing interests in brandabale domain. I needed to get some insight about sold domains from brandbucket but quickly learnt brandbucket doesn’t publish them. But fortunately enough we all know that in the domain name world most data is obtainable, right?

To keep things short, I have been getting emails from brandbucket asking me if I can prevent making the data crawlable by search engine technically asking me to make the content available to just myself.
Months later I got a forwarded email asking if I can obfuscate the sold domains I have listed to prevent google indexing the content. But to be honest if google index my content on search how is that my problem?
Surprisingly they have even gone the extent of contacting my hosting provider. I was a little bit upset that they contacted my hosting as I was only being helpful providing data to those who needed it and instead of getting a pat on the back for my hard work, I got accused and an invisible spanking.


My question to you is.

1. How can a marketplace try to claim ownership or exclusive rights to a domain that has been SOLD and no longer listed on the site for sale?
2. How can a SOLD DOMAIN still belong to the previous marketplace in any way, shape or or form?
3. Why can’t they be happy that I am helping them to publish sales data for free?
4. Does BB have any right to challenge Dnbolt for the kind service he renders?
5. Do I have to listen to BB and stop proving sales data to the public?


I would like to hear your thoughts thanks.

@Dnbolt The fact is you put other people's information out there and hide your own. You're a slimeball.

If you can show me that info I would be more than happy to remove it.

Was that aimed at my comment about your BB names?

Or about you putting other peoples BB domain sales details and personal information out there...
Your entire website and most of your NP posts.

 

[campout]

OK take down my names from your site. Remove that chart that shows sellers' names. And in good faith, reveal your real name, because you have put others' out there.

Quoted by mistake sorry.

Send me the link which has your name.

I've asked him to remove all of my sold domains and personal details from his site and here at NP and he ignored me. He has also ignored BB rules and continually posts BB sold names, despite requests not to.

 

[campout]

Take down everyone's name.

What's your real name?

Do you sell on BrandBucker or not?

If yes, what is your BrandBucket profile?

When brandbucket rejected most of my domains then I started Dnbolt.com so myself and others can better understand what they are looking and tap into the success. My name could be found on my blog.

Everyone please notice that when asked for personal information about himself, @Dnbolt evades, but he is not evasive when putting others' information out there.

A domain name is personal info?

Perhaps I should change my username to JJBolt and put his information out there by answering these questions for him... oh wait, that wouldn't be very fair of me would it?

If it's not, you can post up your names and sales as requested can't you?

All sales are posted, if you strongly believe that I have a contract with BB as a seller then you should have been able to find that from the sales list.

 

[JimJammy]

When you sign up to BB you agree to their contact. As you have signed up to BB, then you too have a contract. As a reminder, here it is: https://www.brandbucket.com/help/faq/sellers/rules_for_sellers

Note the section that says: Information on any domain name sold at BrandBucket, including the name, price and/or logo design may not be listed on your personal website or other marketplace without BrandBucket's approval. BrandBucket retains the right to be the sole publisher of sales information in order to comply with customers' needs to make this information private at any time. Sellers publishing BrandBucket domain sales information without BrandBucket's approval risk having their BrandBucket accounts cancelled.

When you sign up to BB you agree to their contact. As you have signed up to BB, then you too have a contract.

This is now like a debate. Instead of looking for faults lets look at the brighter side.

As others have pointed out, you force BrandBucket staff and BrandBucket sellers to be transparent about their domain sales, and the number of names they have sold, even though many of them have requested you not to do so.

At the same time, you hide your own name, the domain names you own, your BrandBucket portfolio, and your BrandBucket sales. I constantly keep seeing your posts about BrandBucket these days, but I still don't know anything about what you do as a domainer or as a BrandBucket seller.

Do you see the discrepancy here? It is hypocritical of you to act as a BB domain sales transparency watchdog, while simultaneous being entirely secretive about all information relating to yourself regarding the same matter.

I see your point but I have made an attempt to answer some questions. I'm considering attending a domaining event.

Can this Dnbolt vs some sellers case be taken somewhere else? I want to read about BB experience, not experience of BB sellers with DNBolt.

I'd say having your name (if you haven't used WHOIS protection) and your sales exposed by dnbolt has become an integral part of the BB experience. There is no opting out, so it is unavoidable for all BB sellers.

This is overtaking the whole thread. Why don't you guys open a thread called "DNBolt" and take all the grievances there? Sales exposure by a third party is not part of BB experience, with all due respect. By that logic, registering domains, discussing registries, auctions etc., credit card processing etc. are also part of "BB experience", "because that is an integral part of BB experience".

Let's keep it clean and only regarding BB staff, website, policies etc. vs BB sellers/buyers.
