I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

The volume sellers make the front page first and of course Michael Krell's names. A good name by a volume seller gets priority on the front page then next in line would be any good name from any seller. Don't believe me? Go through the whois of the first couple of pages and match it up with the profiles page.

Those that think every name should get on the front page have forgotten that Michael Krell is the director and that does not benefit his strategy.

You can't seriously believe this, do you? Had you not noticed domains appraised under $2,395 don't make the front page? The one's that meet that criteria with +20% is case by case, and when you alter your domains after being listed they have a chance of being dropped off the front page.

Your argument might have merit if you accuse BB of appraising all their names to meet this criteria, and if that's the case, boo-hoo submit better names. The proof is in the sales, and contrary to popular belief BB wants all of their names on BB to sell!

Keep up the good work BrandBucket and please forgive the hangry sellers; they need a snickers.

I went through the latest 100 when this was posted, compared the whois of all of the domains and found that although Michael Krell had the most submissions he did in fact have LESS domains on the front page than a couple of other sellers percentage wise, so this was totally unfounded.

Anyway, Hookbox isn't an hangry seller, he isn't even a seller, he doesn't have any domains on brandbucket but considers himself an expert that we should 'open up our ears and we might actually learn something' from.

Is BrandBucket the best or the only brandable site for sellers ?

 

[Dominic Belley]

Oh! I can't submit names anymore. I have this message :

Your account requires attention. Before submitting more names, please move forward with publishing the names that have been approved and are in your account under "To Do".

I only have 14 names in my "To Do" list.

There. Problem solved.
I paid for the 14 names. I can now submit more.

If my memory is correct I think you sold 1 name for like $1,000 at BrandBucket with 280 listed. So you have $2,500 in registration fees plus $2,800 in submission fees minus profits from the 1 sale then add back in another $2,500 in renewal fees for these 280 names that are due for renewal and that adds up to……a major loss. I never claimed to be an expert but thank God I'm an expert at using a calculator because if anybody followed you as an example they would definitely be losing money!

Your memory is not correct.

 

[hookbox]

Your memory is not correct.

Are you sure? Because based on this post back in July you state you only have 1 sale at BrandBucket (BB). Here is the info below.

1 completely made up 5 letter brandable (BB)
1 completely made up 6 letter brandable (outbound email to a business with a longer name)
2 keyword brandables (1 Sedo, 1 GD)
4 keywords (in/outbound emails)

So in answer to your question 2 of them were pure brandables (25%) 2 were keyword brandables (25%) and 4 were keywords (50%).

 

[JimJammy]

Yes I'm sure thank you That post was made in July. It's now October.

I've never paid any submission fees and I still have credits from voting. My domains started to become live on BB in May so effectively, I've been with them for 5 months. Thank goodness you are an expert with a calculator

So you made 2 more sales at BrandBucket but didn't tell anyone here on this thread? You would be one of the first ones to shout from the rooftops that you sold another name at BrandBucket so that is the only reason I'm asking.

 

[JimJammy]

I did tell everyone in this thread. You must have missed them And that's not why you are asking.

 

[slimjim270]

Hold on a second...

@hookbox - are you an active member of BrandBucket today? Yes or No?

If not, how long ago were you an active member?

To creep on a thread that you are not an active member is misleading. This thread's title is "BrandBucket Experience". Please clarify if you have recent experience for new BB members reading this thread.

I have stated multiple times on this thread that I am no longer a seller on BrandBucket and yes I have sold on BrandBucket.

Exact number I can't remember but I think it's been about a year.

 

[JimJammy]

Well, the real reason I'm asking is because I don't believe you.

What don't you believe?

 

[hookbox]

What don't you believe?

That was listed when I responded to SlimJim270 but it was deleted.

 

[JimJammy]

Well, the real reason I'm asking is because I don't believe you.

Here, let me use the search function for you...

There is the one above that you kindly pointed out for me, and these two. You might like to use your expert calculator skills...

In the meantime, I've logged into BB today to see I've sold another domain :D I'd rather not give details yet.

So, bearing in mind that my domains started to be listed on their site at the very end of May, I've had 2 sales now so I'm averaging one sale per month.

I've also just sold another name, low x,xxx.

I just checked my database and see the 3 five letter names you sold. Nice job.

Working out my BB income (incorrectly) on a public forum, implying that I'm lying about my BB sales and insinuating that you track my BB domains is intimidating. I would appreciate it if you would stop.

I never said you were lying and I track ALL of BrandBucket's sales.
