While certain frustrations have turned me into a BB reseller as of late, I still remain loyal to BrandBucket when it comes to endusers.
Email transcript from today:
Hi Seller,
I wanted to reach out about your domain name of kid***.com. While I am totally in love with it, paying around 2k dollars is a bit out of my budget.
As a mumpreneur, I was wondering if there is any way you could make this more affordable?
My response:
Hi Buyer,
Thanks for reaching out! As a Vetrepreneur myself I can appreciate your savviness.
As you probably know Kid***.com is listed with BrandBucket.com. Per our agreement, while listed, I am bound by their pricing module.
For a quick sale, I can lower it to 20% and authorize an additional 10% off. Let me know if this interests you, and I'll set it in motion.
Ironically, today I looked up this domain for the first time in while after I noticed a similar 6L BB approved Kid domain for sale at $XXX reseller price on NP. I was troubled to see the domain had been cached in 15 different NP sales threads for several months since the member didn't S*t*a*r out the domain or delete the body of the thread.
The point being, I separate resellers from endusers and NP Selling from BB Selling. Obviously, I can make the domain more affordable by setting up a Escrow.com transaction and eliminating BrandBucket's 30%. Nonetheless, the line between BrandBucket reseller and seller has to be drawn somewhere. Fingers crossed for a BB Sale soon...
