BrandBucket default listing showcase...

[tomcarl]

I would've emailed them but I've already asked a similar question and didn't want to wait a few days for a response...

The domains showed on the first page, are they random or something? I'm seeing domains that been published for awhile on the front page while new domains are 2 pages in.

Should the default layout be displaying recently added first? Anyone else have a domain published that wasn't on page 1 immediately after?

The front page are staff picks, meaning their domains and big contributors domains, I was told by them they only show new submissions on staff picks if they are listed over $3000. They changed this from new listings to staff picks just before xmas

Honestly, $10 for every listing upfront, a whopping 30% consignment fee, plus you have to pay for a crappy logo? No thanks!

Front page, i.e. staff picks are not for big domain contributors only. Recently I had 17 names accepted for total of 24 with BrandBucket, out of which 4 ended up on the front page. Three of those were below $3k and one was barely over it. Since then 2 of 4 have been removed and can be found via search, sorting out by date, or my personal profile.

Regarding the $10 fees, I paid those only for first 2 domains listed with BB. Ever since I have been using voting feature to get around it and, as many other people reported forum wide, it does not take much time and is totally worth it.

I confirm - I listed for the first time and my domain was 3-4 days on the front page. And you know what - it was sold. So - this makes a big difference. The other one (I listed two) wasn't at the first page - and as you can guess it's not sold yet. And I like it even better

I had 4 listed on the homepage and they never sold. Some of my other sold though.

I had 7 names in when first (hopefully not the last) of my domains sold. It was actually the lowest priced one which I actually raised the price of (via 20% +/- slide) all the way I could. I still feel there was money lost in that deal.

BrandBucket sure commands an authority that other similar sites do not, but they are not be all / end all kind of site nevertheless. I strongly feel that BrandRoot is more that a worthy competitor (no personal or business affiliations whatsoever) and one everybody that is into brandables should give a fair chance to.

Anyway, ending this post on a plus note and heading toward grabbing a next cold beer out of my freezer. I hope most, if not all of the members of this illustrious forum can enjoy one (and more) of those themselves regardless of the subject that is in the limelight atm
