Domain tasting and brand markets

[polymorph]

You have a list of brandable domains that you plan to sell on BrandBucket. If the names are not approved, you don't really need them. Lets say you buy them from Dynadot and submit your list with half the names being approved. Then you grace delete the domains which are not approved. But you will have to pay a $3.00 deletion fee per domain. It is obvious that you better buy your domain at Directnic for $3.99 and have one year to sell it outside of BrandBucket instead of paying $3.00 for nothing.
Is there a secret trick for such situations?
Maybe you know registrars with cheaper grace deletion or you submit your names without buying them? Any tips will be appreciated.

Used to do all kinds of tricks with especially GoDaddy and other registrar coupons / specials running multiple multiple MULTIPLE accounts but starting some years ago we just gave up on all that and started paying the full $8 or so discounted rate that DynaDot charges us since we have so many domains and not trying any more short cuts.

For one or two brand new domains might still jump on a 0.99 deal but for the most part don’t bother.

Point being that eventually you settle into a philosophy of “you pays your money and you takes your choice.”

Just because a name is accepted by BB doesn't mean it will sell.
Just because a name is not accepted by BB doesn't mean it will not sell.
If you don't have confidence in your registrations but instead rely on a third party to decide which is 'worthy' you're doing it wrong imo.

BB also has a growth program that allows you to submit an unregistered domain for review and acceptance.
But more importantly, what @Kate said. Words of wisdom

Deleting a name because is BB rejected has been the most illogic thing i read since I make part of this community.

Thank you for your responses so far! I am learning the basics and I am following a plan to experiment with different types of domains and different types of selling. There is a strong reason I need these ones to be BB listed. I am looking for ways to lower my initial investment. The growth program is exactly what I was looking for, it is interesting to have such thing since Margot Bushnaq said in an interview that they do not tolerate putting available domains for appraisal. I hope it is still available.
