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

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

May not have been their intention, but atleast sellers will not waste their time and money submitting BB rejects anymore - that had zero chance of been accepted.

I have tried it and if the domain is not registered it will just say 'whois not found', not if it was accepted or rejected. If you have to register them to check, then is no difference in money wasted and 30 seconds waisted for submitting.

There are lots of names on BB which have been rejected before.

So, you think BB rejects are all garbage?!

Hope they're not. Have several nice BB rejects and I still have the hope I'll be able to sell them at a good price somewhere else

Nice

There are tons of domains ends with IFY.

But okay, they must have their reasons.

Is it worth putting your domains to the lowest price?

Would you get better sales?

Thanks. I'm not sure how much logic there is why -fi would get accepted and -fy rejected. Maybe I just submitted on a better day or something.

As far as I can tell, nobody knows

Technically, you should move more volume at lower prices, but will the lower per name revenue be made up for in more sales? Can only try and experiment and even then few if any of us have enough names to really be able to scientifically say which is a better route.

From what I've seen, way more people bump up their prices than lower them. I tend to list them at BB suggested prices, but have been re-thinking that and debating whether to raise a lot of my prices.

Only BB itself could possibly have enough data to look into the effect of raising/lowering prices vs. BB suggested.

 

[trelgor]

I would think that a relatively small percentage of the buyer base looks m o r e on price and are not too specific about the preferences they have about for the actual name.

In those cases it may probably come down to several prospects, of which the lower priced names have a real edge.

I assume this would apply mostly to the pure brandables and modified keywords.

Maybe a 25% increase in the number of sales would be an assumption? if you have a large enough portfolio of these types of names and minimize the suggested price on all of them.

Just guessing.

I am wondering one thing guys, should I send the estimated value certificate or link when sending a email and offer a cheaper deal? lets say 20-30 % of the estimated value? going to cheap may send out a wrong message also? I am thinking to send the pdf/link in email or not don't want to come out as spam

Heads up, everybody. BB has just implemented a change to their push function where they won't let accounts that are not in "good standing" receive pushed domains.

To be in good standing, you have to have an A or B score in each of these two circles in your dashboard:

I'd imagine to stop people "testing" domain names they don't own and pushing to fakes or second accounts

Congrats on your 54% approval rate! I've noticed you sell bb domains with longer expiration dates to resellers on NP...

Wondering if your high approval rate is why you reg domains for multiple years, knowing they'll get accepted, or if regging them for multiple years has an effect on your your approval rate. I mean, selling bb published domains with 2 years of GD years remaining + bb listing fee for less than $25 seems like you're taking a loss. $8.47 + $8.47 + $10 listing fee = $26.94

In any case, congrats on your recent reseller success. Your bb domains are selling like hot cakes to other sellers!

Thanks. All those names with far out renewals were bought on Domain.com resellers. At one point, during one of the sales, you could reg for up to 5 years at $1.99 per year, so I took advantage of that at the time, just leaving a lot of them at 2 years since it was only costing me less than $2 to get that 2nd year. With a few of them, that I thought were even better names / surer accepts, I upped it to 3-5 years.

Then I have recently transferred most of those out of Dotster, etc. to get them into GoDaddy since you can't easily push within Dotster anymore, so that's what put an additional year on a lot of them.

I was able to pass on a lot of that value to some people who have a little patience to buy with 2017, 2018, etc. in mind.

I stand corrected with my outrageous theory. I applaud your foresight for lengthy renewals!

This change also impacts sellers who choose to remove their names under the 30-day option of their T&Cs. Now removing names affects your "good standing". In effect there is now a penalty for removing your names, even though you adhere fully to their terms and conditions.
