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

I have sold removed and accepted names without any issue. The staff was very helpful and courteous.

My main beef is the low prices assigned to names that should be priced higher and their unwillingness to let sellers have a say in their own pricing,​

When GoDaddy gives me a higher value than BrandBucket I just take my names over to Undeveloped.

BB seems to cater to resellers thus the very low pricing model on many names. Any name priced under $2K is not worth the cost of doing business with BB. Let’s face it most of us could sell names under 2K on our own without giving someone else 30% plus $100.

Hi!

You can always appeal the price right after is it accepted or even email Seller Support if you want older names to be repriced. It is a case by case basis, but for the most part, they will adjust prices.

Hope this helps!

About two years ago I received an email from BB saying that one of my names (a LLLL.com) was priced too low. It had been on their service for ~3 years and hadn't sold so I was surprised to hear they wanted to increase the price (rather than lower it) . Anyway, they asked if they could increase the price ~75%. So I said sure.

Fast forward to a week ago (~2 years later) and the name sold at the higher price! I made more than I would have even including their 30% + $100 designer fee at the older original price (which I thought was fair at the time).

I am quite impressed with BB. Initially I submitted 19 names overall and got 7 names accepted/listed. This was 2014 and since then 3 have sold (one with the higher price as described above). That's quite a sales rate. Their CS is quick to respond usually and their payouts are quick.

Based on this I just submitted 15 new names to them. Hope they accept some of them so I can push more sales through BB.

Thank you for trusting in us for pricing! Congratulations on the sale

Congo on your sales, LLLL.com market has changed lots in the last 3 to 4 years. I found BB the best to judge the brandable price. it seems some of its competitors realized the price model and now following the path set by BB for the brandable price.

BrandBucket adjusted average sales price in November was $3,044


BrandBucket sent out their December newsletter today. It seems after taking out sales over $10,000 that the average sale was $3,044 up from $2,959 in October. Two word .coms continue to be the top selling category. Misspellings continue to make up around 12% of all sales. A Quick Look Back at November The operations category remained at the top stop for yet another month! Removing sales … [Read more...]

@Andreia Soares Received a newsletter from BB this morning. It includes an image which may give a little idea on November sale stats represented by piecharts and so. Unfortunately the image is of a very low resolution, so the text on the image is hardly readable. Is it possible to share a higher resolution image here please.

Thank you.

BB seems to have a concept called "NameMyCompany" wherein potential clients submit a requirement with a budget range and a little details of what type of name they are looking for.

It is an interesting concept but I am looking at a lot of archived requests with a status of "Request is closed. Domain is not chosen". So, has anyone actually sold a domain using this service ?

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

I have names pending review since Dec 28th...is (2 weeks)BB just backed up from the holidays?

 

[NameGroove]

I've used up all my submission credits with BB. Got 40% of names submitted approved. Wondering if there is any free way to submit more names? They stopped their old "credit scheme". Not really into paying for additional submissions only to be turned down on 60% of them.

40% acceptance is great on BB. Don't worry about the rest of the names, put them on Afternic, you'll get similar sales%, but with lower average price.

I have had all my names on Afternic - it's a decent platform and I get some sales through them. But I've found BB gets me a higher price so I'd prefer to get my higher end brandables listed there. I realize 40% is a good acceptance rate. I think BB should allow sellers who have high acceptance rates to submit for free (since we're obviously pretty good at not wasting their time with lower end names).

BrandBucket adjusted average sale was $2,938 in December



BrandBucket sent out their January newsletter today and average sale amount for December was $2,938, (sales above $10,000 removed). November's average sale amount was $3,044. Keyword sales continue to outsell invented names 58% to 42%. BrandBucket could do a better job when they breakdown categories by giving the exact keywords instead of terms like operations and evocative. Many people have commented … [Read more...]

How do you transfer a domain name from one BrandBucket account to another one? I don't see any link/or button

 

[dncafe]

What they don't share is how many of the purchased domain names were from people browsing the marketplace, or were type-in traffic from the domain that was then purchased through their platform.

Could many of those sales been direct sales or for a fair lower commission if the domain was on a different platform?

Why would they want to tell you that?

@NameWell
At this point you should write to BB support and they will handle the transfer.

 

[frank-germany]

52% of all keyword sales are two letter .coms.

really?

Good catch. Pretty sure he meant two words .com

I have just recently stumbled on this thread and realize this post was awhile ago but isn't that almost exactly the same as the model SquadHelp started with except in BB case presume answers would only be names already listed with them. Interestingly SquadHelp, while maintaining that, have also moved into a BB like brandable marketplace as well.
