anyone here SOLD a domain on BB recently? at the end of the day it's not a brandable domain "directory" but a MARKETPLACE and as much as i appreciate their intent to grow the business and make it popular...i've not heard of many sales taking place...a bit disappointed myself honestly!

Take some time to read the entries from the last few weeks. You'll see em.

 

[alistair80]

And what happens to the names that were submitted years ago. Di they get buried under the recent ones? Did u sell any urself?

 

[Brandworthy]

I'm guessing that what you're seeing is names being reviewed by new staff, and if one or two seem to be stuck on pending for weeks while newer names are reviewed then those pending names have likely been sent for further review by Margot.

FWIW my submission stats for the period 3/1 - 4/30:

Submitted: 151
Accepted: 89
Rejected: 47
Pending: 15

 

[Optimal Names]

Is there any suggestion on whether or not its better to submit a bulk of domains (say its 100 names) at one time versus submitting 10 per week for 10 weeks?

You have excellent acceptance rate, 65%. Congrats!

Wow.. thats amazing! Congratz Michael! I think since you are the main voice of BB to domainers this is a very good thing. Looking forward to seeing the effects of this change.

Cheers!

@michaeljkrell - Congrats on your appointment to Managing Director.

As a member of the site, I am curious... did you buy a majority stake in the company?

If so, congrats on your purchase and congrats to Margot for building the foundation of this business.

Or was this a decision by Margot to free her time for strategic planning while you handle daily operations?

Thanks for shedding any light on the shift.

Wishing both of you the best of success.

Thanks everyone! I am really excited about this opportunity, and it is really great to work with Margot and the team! I am just starting to get completely immersed in the BB system. Once I get my head wrapped around things, things should get going.

I will say that we are making a concerted push to get through the domain queue!

Thanks, Jim! Good questions.

I can definitely tell you that I didn't purchase a majority stake in the company; I don't have the cash for that No equity was bought or sold.

I will be taking over the day-to-day operations, but Margot will still be in charge of name submissions and when we need some extra help(like now), I will assist with that as well.

My main objective is becoming more engaged with the domaining community on BrandBucket and ultimately increasing sales. My site HandReg.com will become more active, I will be doing live video chats with domainers discussing their portfolio, etc.

Margot and I will be working together on strategy, but rest assured that the core of BB will not change; we just want to help it reach its max potential with the help of all our members.

Hi. I would submit as many names as you have at once.

Congrats Michael. Everybody in the BB circle is a winner this morning. I hope you'll still have time to come here. Always interesting to read and hear about you. Nice work.

Hi, I just PMed you.

This last month I sold my third oldest name on BB (been there for about 22 months), and also sold quite a few that have been listed for over a year.
