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

 

[Eric Hammond]

12 of my names were published yesterday and today.
32 accepted names have been working their way through the process.

All my names submitted before 9/10 have been approved or rejected.
All 50 names submitted after 9/10 are still pending review for approval.

 

[wwwulff]

why the sarcastic words...
I just wrote the information I have

Let us refrain from derailing the thread, but I thought that your comment deserved a little sakasme/fun, because I think BB staff is the only one who can answer why it now takes longer time to get names accepted/rejected and published - But maybe you are employed by BB?

No I'm not employed. I simply asked why is taking longer than usual, and I got the answer. Cheers

Okay, so I finally got reviews back for some of my BB domains.

However, I have a question for people who are more into the brandable game than I am.

How much would you personally price d/a/t/a/b/a in com for? The suggested price given by BB was $1895.

On the one hand, I'm a little surprised because it's a CVCVCV with data in it, and because data + CV names are not all that common these days. Also, personally, data & ba makes me think of database (maybe that's just a figment of my imagination. Yeah! It's probably me tryna see more money in the name. Ha!)

On the other hand, I'm not surprised, because the only comparables on Namebio commanded a max of $2200 or so last year.

However, I do find it hilarious that many of the domains that I "formulated" and hand registered for $2 were actually given much higher suggested prices than d/a/t/a/ba - a domain that I caught and went to auction against 'First' (Chinese) and ended up paying $xxx for (maybe I overpaid but what's done is done, so whether I overpaid or not is not really the point).

Anyway, the question remains, would you price this domain at $1895 + 20%?

Oh! Btw, it looks like it also means something in Spanish.....

Six letters are normally a dime a dozen but having the good keyword Data in it plus the fact that it is short is a huge plus. Also the fact that there is only one other six letter (datazo) listed at BB with the keyword Data is another bonus. Take into account that all other pronounceable six letters with the keyword Data are registered is another massive bonus for you. Add the 20% and let it ride. It will sell.

Well I cant say I am expert but would still say it is typical BB price for such names. The reason it was on auction was maybe related due to the meaning it has in Spanish which seems big. Perhaps you should see if you can get more by doing outbound before decising to publish.

 

[Keith DeBoer]

I agree with both BB's pricing and Abdullah's advice.

BB is likely looking at it as tech name and 'ba' is not a very desirable suffix for a keyword hack.
Many would pronounce it Duh-Tah Bah. So BB may have also looked at it as an invented name.

But.............
It means 'dating' in Spanish. That's a pretty powerful keyword.
You might consider listing that on GD premium and Afternic for $3K to $5K
It could take months or even a few years but that would be the way to get top dollar.

Or....... contact these folks and ask if they would broker it for you and how they would price it etc.
That's what I'd do

@Candace Cooke
It doesn't mean dating in the traditional sense of the word. It translates like these examples below. I wouldn't list at a premium price because it will never sell.

The document dated back to 1945.
That law was in place dating back to 1950.

Two days back I paid the listing fee for listing Prrofit.com on BB for $2395. It's not yet live.

Today I realized a similar mis-spelling domain Smiile.com sold for $18,000 on Sedo.

Should I cancel the listing on BrandBucket.com before it goes live, hoping for a higher price? Should I contact them to increase the valuation for the domain?

definetely

Prrofit.com is much more worth then Smiile.com

a smile doesn't make money
but profit does

how could you accept such a low evaluation?

seriously?
no just kidding

Every word in the English (and any other) dictionary can be misspelled by adding one additional letter.

Just because one misspelled word was able to fetch 18k - does not mean all misspelled words can get that amount. In fact most misspells will probably not sell. Only the few the manage to catch an end user's eyes will.

Several factors come into play, including the visual appeal and pronunciation of the misspell... So know that all misspells are not created equal.

Is Prrofit better than Profitt? Which one would a client choose if they were listed side by side for the same price? How about Proffit?

I think the 18k for Smiile was a GREAT sale, but don't expect to see that repeated too often.

Everyone is going to feel that their misspelled word is the most appealing, but in reality it is a trend that will probably only go so far.

If you truly believe you have a golden nugget there then I would suggest you ask BB to remove it from your profile (which since you did click publish I believe you will need to give 30 days) because I do not think BB would ever consider giving your domain 10x the price than they already have. If they did then they would have hundreds of other misspells in line asking for the same thing. And then their odds of selling any of them would be much lower.

These are novelty names and unless you find the right person with 20k in their pocket to burn - I think we should feel lucky if we are able to get low $X,XXX for these. (There are of course exceptions to every rule)

In full disclosure - I grabbed a couple of misspells recently myself. I would be more than satisfied if any of them get the 2k pricemark that BB puts on them.

That's hardly all of it. smiile with the "I' doubled, which is the prominent vowel sound in the word smile, is far more memorable and "easier on the eye" than prrofit with the r doubled in an awkward and confusing way. When I look at "prrofit" I see "parrot". When I look at "smiile" I see "smile"

I agree with the valuation.

 

[Domain Monk]

I acquired brroker which was rejected by bb ..ur lucky they accepted it

 

[Ted Levy]

Several months ago I submitted "ttricky" which was rejected. I questioned it with MJK, and he replied (I trust he won't mind my posting this), "The double letters work well in the middle and at the end of words, but not so much at the beginning. So if it was trickyy.com it would be accepted. For a name to be accepted with a double letter in the beginning, it would need to a pretty premium word to begin with. For example, I will be listing ssouth.com on BB. It needs to be a root word similar strength to get it listed.'

BTW I regged trickyy and it was accepted.

Look where we've come in six months!

I agree with the valuation.

The high price and sale-ability may even go a little deeper than just a rolling vowel with Smiile. (just pulled the words "rolling vowel" out of my head - don't know if that's the correct terminology)

It would be a great name for a dentist, dental product, or even picture sharing site.

When I see that name I get an image in my head of a group of people yelling Smiiiiiile as they take a picture. (everyone I know in the US has grown up saying and hearing that when taking a picture.)

 

[Eckhart]

Today I realized a similar mis-spelling domain Smiile.com sold for $18,000 on Sedo.

What are the odds of another sale like that? I wouldn't bother contacting them for a price increase because I tried this and BB won't consider this type of argument where you show a similar domain sold at a much higher price.

 

[imadoer]

$18000 for smiile

 

[Michael M]

$18000 for smiile

I would imagine the seller pooped in their pants a little when they saw that sold email.

Someone wins the lottery every day, I guess.

 

[Domain Monk]

Lol ...

 

[nparab]

Thanks v.much for all your replies guys. I guess I will keep the domain at that valuation. Thanks again.
