When I first joined BB (was opposed to marketplaces / commission / loss of control, etc. for years prior - only my only landers, efty,) make offer listing etc.
My orig BB experience post is in this thread somewhere - if we go back just about a year. But I think it was only a handful of months (maybe even 2 - off memory) that 2 names sold. Names I had listed long before on my own- no bites - but got traffic and sold quick listed on BB.
I have been happy ever since and have added names. I have a decent portfolio there and have a good # of names sold there, followed by Afternic, then own landers.
Those are the only 3 I can judge based on real data/ experience - I have names at other markets but it would not be fair to those markets as I have not had the # or ammount of names listed - even close - until recently.
in terms of listing cost - 1 sale will cover thousands of $1 listings - with several sales this year the listing fees are not really a concern.
Sorry to hear some of the troubles folks are experiencing, but BB has been very positive & responsive in my experience
Best of luck all, Brian
