I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

Do you guys think it can help a pronounceable LLLL to sell on here if it is accepted on BB? There are tones of BB accepted/published auctions on here, but never saw one of a LLLL accepted on BB, how much would they go for +/- in your opinions? And in general, does anyone have any experience with LLLLs on BB?

Yes, I will buy them from you

You can check out my mini BB portfolio: DomainAffix

4 letter .com's are a weird creature unlike most domains. Most people/businesses don't understand the value in 4 letters .com's. But that doesn't mean they are not worth it, it just means your chances of selling are a lot less. However, 4 letter's have a LIQUID wholesale price any day of the week. 5, 6, & 7 letter .com are NOT liquid like 4 letters are.

4 letters have an expensive 'purchase' price but you are almost guaranteed to get your purchase price or more back from a quick flip. But if you want to sell your 4 letters at retail, you must be willing to be a long term investor who can have your capital tie up for many years. Which in ten years, most 4 letters will be selling for at least 1k IMO

Since 4 letters have a 'category' of their own on BB, these domains get more search love AND its easier to search threw the 4 letters because their isn't very many.

My guess is that the liquid-value of a domain (in this case 4L) is unknown and/or irrelevant for a start-up buying a brand on BB. From a third party perspective domains like RAQK and OVZU are awkward to say and don't represent a sensible choice compared to more pronounceable 5, 6 or 7 letter names. If you're going to pay $2000+ you have to pass the phone test.

A truly pronounceable 4L would always have great value but the stock of those is limited. I didn't see any 4L in the first 5 pages of BB that I would have picked over some of the longer names. There's always a chance that a 4L is the exact initials of a brand which makes them valuable, but I don't think BB is reaching out to those end users.

I'm the owner of RAQK and of course RACK would be better, but it would also cost a fortune!! The reason names like RAQK are on BB is because a startup can buy RAQK for 3.5k and grow their business into a multi-million dollar company and THEN go buy RACK with ease.

Im also the owner of OVZU, which for a US based business might be a unique, but for an international company based in another country, OVZU has global appeal. It would be interesting to get stats on BB sales outside the US.

It's funny cuz I actually posted this thread after seeing Ovzu listed there :D There are 10 pronounceable LLLLs I'm willing to buy soon for a relatively good price imo, and one of them is very similar to Ovzu, it has only one voyel different. I believe this name is not even of the best of these 10 names. How much would you personally buy this exact name for example, assuming that it has +/- the same value as your name or maybe even a bit more? Very nice BB portfolio tho!

Just listed and published Osoly.com on BB this name should sell. We'll see-I haven't seen many sales posted here recently on this thread.

Could you point me to the location where I can see the LLLL category page on Brandbucket? I can not find it.

First category under search bar.

Thanks! I see them all now with the link you sent but if I go to a new tab and go to BB again, those categories are not there. Odd. Thank you again!

You should click search bar...then only categories will be visible.

 

[Optimal Names]

Ah, OK. I didnt do that. I was just looking for a menu and didnt click the bar. Thanks!

Small sale yesterday. Low $x,xxx. First in 4 weeks. Not overly impressed with BB sales rate right now TBH. Will wait out the summer to see if things pick up.

Nice Portfolio, and I've got to give you props on the awesome business description as well. It was very positive and inspiring.

Im also the owner of OVZU, which for a US based business might be a unique, but for an international company based in another country, OVZU has global appeal. It would be interesting to get stats on BB sales outside the US.

I used to own Ovzu.com but sold it on Godaddy (for $25 according to my records). It was previous rejected by BB when they still had a much smaller number of listings.

 

[pokainc]

had a couple of BB rejected names that I sold for cheap to see them on the site now

They were rejected by BB and now they are on BB? Who owns them now did you check the Whois?

For what it's worth I've also wrapped up a sale with Ryan. For those asking it's definitely worth digging back a few pages as I'm sure a contact email was mentioned at some stage! Very reasonable wholesale pricing on offer.

Back on topic, with the 4L domains I should say I would actually prefer to own those couple mentioned rather than the longer names. I do like Ovzu as a domain.

I guess what I was trying to say is that to a third party paying $XXXX for a new brand name, the resale value of the domain isn't really a concern. It's more the marketability and clarity of the brand name itself. In that sense I would almost consider a domain like 'Ovuzu' would be preferable given that the letters 'VZ' aren't crammed together. I can't think of an example in the dictionary where those letters go together.

Yes -Zero here.

What's the longest you guys would keep your domains there without getting sales? I'm on 8 months with no sales and will delist at 11 months if no new sales
