BrandBucket Experience

[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

 

[Weber]

For how much?

 

[12345]

Afraid I can't say because of BB's rules...

 

[Doron Vermaat]

Good to hear sales are being made. Haven't sold any names with them in a while but decided to list some of my recent acquired names with them this week again.

 

[tomcarl]

I've sold 18 names, and I think only 2 or 3 were premium listings.

Nice numbers, care to share a couple of the domains?

 

[12345]

Sure...

First I would like to mention that I have just become a BrandBucket Brand Ambassador which I am very excited about! I was able to meet Margot and the BB team last week at their offices, and they have some exciting plans for the future. So if anyone has any questions, comments, etc about BB you can email me at my address below or shoot me over a PM.

To tomcarl's question... Some of my previous sales include

G/i/v/v/e
R/e/a/d/y/E/d/g/e
G/i/v/e/N/G/o
G/e/t/B/u/z/z
L/i/n/k/E/f/f/e/c/t
L/a/u/n/c/h/v/i/l/l/e

Interesting! I noticed the huge influx of your names on BB last year Michael and also noticed quite a few of them sold! I always used to be a sort of "unofficial" ambassador/supporter of BB but got a bit fed up with the long waiting times, slow response on questions and a couple of other things that are not worth going into details about here on NP. Anyway, i decided to list a percentage of my recent names with them again this week and i noticed they've tackled the long waiting times and i also got a very quick response on a support ticket (within the same day) so it's promising. Definitely looking forward to their future plans and of course to making some sales again!

 

[12345]

Yes, I have definitely had a good rate of success at BB. They would be the first ones to tell you that they are still a small startup with limited resources, and the wait times are definitely some growing pains that any similar marketplace will experience when trying to increase their inventory. Like you said though, things are definitely improving.

Good luck with your submissions, and hopefully sales are in your near future!

Considering the fact that you have more than 400 names listed I personally don't think your success rate (18 sold) is that good (yet). That said, brandables and domaining in general is a waiting game and I know some names on BB can sit there for years before they sell so I'm sure your success rate will only increase over time.

 

[12345]

I have 20 sales now, and about 275 of my names have just gone live in the last 2-3 weeks. Like most things in domaining, it is a numbers and waiting game.

 

[Makis.TV]

I've submitted 2 of my brandable domains, after 2 weeks or more they got accepted but their price tag was below my most pessimistic expectation so I didn't list them.

 

[Hybrid Names]

added few domains let see what heppen next

 

[12345]

Just sold h/o/v/e/r/l/y

 

[Nitindomains]

Submitted 1 name yesterday, and it got accepted, but the price suggested is way below my expectations.

Any help on what should i do?

 

[12345]

Feel free to PM me the name along with what you are looking to get for it, and we will see what we can do.

 

[Nattydomain]

So If I get a few names accepted they will do the logos for free? Used to remember you had to pay extra for a logo but is it now standard?

 

[12345]

There is a $10 fee for each name submission, and then you select how much you are willing to pay a logo designer if the names sells ($100-$500). As far as I know it has been this way for some time.

 

[Canopie]

There are some pigeon doo-doo domains there. Namerific too. I understand it's mostly subjective, but wow...

 

[NameFu]

Also beware that BrandBucket.com expect to take a 30% cut from every sale. And they expect you to pay for one of their designers to make a logo design when your domain sales. If you want to design a logo for one of your own domains sold you need to sign up to be an (approved) designer.

Get out of "brandables" while you still can!

Why? I like bold statements like these but only if they come with some sort of substantiation.
