Sold :d

Nice sale congrats, I like the logo.

Are Nigerians the only scammers in world?

Would I blame anyone? Nope... Thanks to the media hype...

Where is Madoff?

it seems you are very emotional if some brings up this Stereotype

my opinion: dont take it seriously, every country has Stereotypes, like all americans love fastfood & guns or germans are blond beer lovers without a sense of humor [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUEs-8R4NFg"]germans[/ame]

It seems like you are always at the ready to kill everyone’s optimism

:talk:

putting a smile, behind that rock you threw, doesn't stop the pain when it hits or the perception from the statement that some may adopt.

to continue to make such statements, shows an inability to accept viewpoints in contrast to your own

why try to paint a cloud over kate, or anyone else who expresses something you don't like.


that, is not how "mature" discussions are supposed to flow

and without hearing opposing views, newbs can't grow.


imo...

I suspect MYSTIKO to be an agent of Brandbucket. All he has done here on Namepros is to needlessly discredit all the other brandable marketplaces.

You are wrong sir...if you hadn't noticed, I also criticized BrandBucket on one occasion. It's not my fault that there is no decent alternative to BB at the moment.

Let me guess, you're the owner of LoveLogo?

 

[GiftedDomains]

wow this thread is getting ugly with unnecessary and wrong accusations.
Someone who posted this (Mystico) can't be an "agent" of BB

Comment from Mystico:

I've had over a dozen names accepted as well. Still, I wanted to point out that there appears to be a rather large subjective element to Margot's decisions. I've had names which are strong by every objective measure in addition to sounding great be rejected for no apparent reason. (I'm speaking as a professional writer with a strong aesthetic sense...not some Joe Shmoe who adds "zer" to the end of some random word and expects to be well received). I had half a mind to start focusing exclusively on brandable domains, but am finding BB to be too unreliable at the moment. Back to generics for me.

So i think such baseless comments are not only unfair towards other members, but also falsely accusing BB to send some kind of an "agent" here and such comments harm their reputation for no reason. I don't think they need that. They were doing fine already and don't need such stupid "tactics".

You are wrong , I am just a defender of all brandable marketplaces NAMERIFIC, LOVELOGO AND LOGOTURN that you have called" Garbage" on the brandable domains thread.

 

[Mystiko]

I stand by that opinion. Unlike the owners of those sites, I know a bad name when I see one...and I have to maintain that their inventories contain far more misses than hits. I remember browsing that Lovelogo site some time ago and not seeing a single quality domain in their entire collection.

Then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. But its strange how as soon as Brandbucket appeared on this forum you suddenly appeared to badmouth all others.Where were you before ? where the hell have you been.

So you are telling me that the Brandbucket Twitter account of @BB_Domains is offering better names than the " garbage" of Namerific, Lovelogo and Logoturn ?

 

[GiftedDomains]

I like these

- BrandBucket
- BrandRoot (i think he only sells his own names, nice site and some nice names)
- Namerific
- FrozenLemons (they are a naming company who "create" names, a little different approach, not
usable for domainers anyway, but i like the idea and the site)

What i don't like are EXACT copies, no originality and creativity (some even don't try to make an original website design), copycats just trying to jump on the bandwagon type of sites, etc. Avoid them.

.

You can sell names on BRANDROOT and he is also looking for logo designers.

 

[GiftedDomains]

good to know.
i remember i visited the site a while ago and there was no option for submitting names or something. maybe that changed meanwhile.

 

[equity78]

Yeah Frozen Lemons has a nice little program they are working Gifted, I have been looking at the niche for awhile as not just about the domains but the naming process. There is a lot of competition in the space, Namella will do it for $97 and I saw a tweet last week that they named their 5000th company. http://www.onlineprnews.com/news/39...naming-service-names-its-5000th-business.html

Again in a subjective niche such as this there will always be people that say they think names suck and there is the arrogance of people who think they are the greatest in the world. I have spoken to three unrelated people over the last month who are in Brand Creation, that believe they are solely the number one person in the world when it comes to naming a brand and domain name. I would love to have a conference we call it B.R.A.N.D. let them all give their spiel.

Just had a look at brandroot. Very classy site. The sell domains button is inactive so i guess they are not taking outside sellers at the moment. Probably a wise move as they would probably get bombarded.

Both you and kate are veteran domainers with a lot of experience in many different areas of domaining, what I like to see is a more balanced approach by the two of you (and others like you) towards new opportunities that arise from time to time for domainers.

Whether those opportunities are with brandable domains, future trend domains, or alternative or new TLDs they can’t all be bad all the time, so if you bring up a negative point about them you should also be able to point out some of the positive aspects of those new opportunities. If you only focus on the negative parts all the time then you might be doing other domainers a disservice by discouraging them from taking advantage of something that could help change their lives for the better.

So lets start by doing an exercise in providing a balanced viewpoint, here we have an opportunity that has presented itself in the form of Brandable domains, let you and kate each point out 5 positive and 5 negative aspect of this niche so that the Newbies can learn how to benefit from this opportunity while avoiding any downfalls that could hurt them.

IMO

Namella will do it for $97 and I saw a tweet last week that they named their 5000th company.

i would say thats bullshit.

plus I hate these companies who

1) start their page with "Do you ever ask yourself how ...." BLAAA BLAAA, and then write a novel where you have to read 1 million sentences full of useless info. If i owned a company and were looking for a service, i would leave the site immediately and go somewhere else.
Thats almost everytime a good sign that everything on that site is crap.

2) quote something from a "competitor" (in this case i think they made a screenshot of 3 names from BrandBucket) to show their "advantage" (If you are good, you don't need to talk others down, if you are good, your product/service will speak for itself). Plus what they don't tell is that these names at BB are already owned in advance (and not going to be "created" risk free after the order is received), plus they HAVE to chose from available domain names free to register, so i bet they also chose a lot of crap names. (in fact some of the names they chose for the companies are horrible, don't want to go in to details).

The general idea is good, but i don't like this site.
Also why hide whois.
created end of 2011, DomainsByProxy., already 5000 companies named?, give me a break.

 

[PeppyNames]

We need to realize that market for brandable name is booming and eventually be bust. Numbers of buyers of brandable names are still the same whereas for them choices are increasing on the daily basis.

Already for people who have had success with BB will suddenly be seeing there sales going down as competition will increase from other peer sellers. In the longer run too much competition and 10$ listing fee + reg fee per year will make it difficult for sellers to maintain a portfolio and make a sale to sustain.

Look at the number of new entries at BB. Market will be saturating until and unless number of buyers increase proportionally to number of domains entering the market.

As an expert in markets & economics plus my domaining experience I have initiated plans (for past 15 days) of creating a new kind of a market. It is a surprise plan but as a hint I can tell that new market will exist from the fallout of the above market and nothing which has already been seen.

Till then GLWS

 

[equity78]

@gifted I agree that 5000 seems to be exaggerated, I mean that's a lot of business for one company that most have never heard of and why are you using whois privacy ?

 

[Kate]

But brandables have always been.
They are not a 'new' opportunity :gl:
In fact, I don't think there are any 'new' opportunities in this business.

Domainers are always trying to catch the train when it left the station and is out of sight.
IMO.
