it is a good place to list hand regged domains for $1000+

eg if a hand regged? domain {i only know how to buy a domain name manually is listed on brand bucket and sells for example for $1000 after commission and costs etc what could a person expect to make net?

around 70% - but BB does all the work. You just pay to list the name and they organise logo's, descriptions, sales enquiries and sales negotiation and closure.

as a newbie, a smart thing to do is buy a Brandbucket domain on NamePros for around $20 and list it on Brandbucket.

i'll look in to that - how much does it cost to list? or initial upfront costs?

While I agree that this strategy can work, there is much more to domaining than BB. It is better to learn and read as much as possible first. Learn branding naming, even from the best if you can, reach out to the biggest firms and get onboard.

Trying to copy BB names is not always a great idea since some of them have very little uniqueness, I think you need to know a bit first to know what to look for.

I didn't say to hand reg. I said to buy existing domains already listed on BB from other domainers. They usually sell between $20- 30 on this site.

only $10 to list.

i have always had an interest in brands etc and with socialmedia there are a lot of individuals starting their own brands and its great to see brands formed from nothing but an idea and seeing them grow slowly but surely and then the owners having to make massive lifestyle changes when the brand starts to become more successful than they ever dreamed possible and they are then faced with scrapping the brand and keeping the day job or taking a chance and start to spend more time nurturing the brand and reducing the day job until the brand is the day job but even the best brand in the world requires the same hard work and effort to make it or keep it a successful brand

your reply will motivate many here to go for brand-able names.

that's not bad at all

my domains i buy for .com at cost some with domain privacy some without and usually only .com or .co.uk for £7.99 + standard costs etc

i have let at least 30 domain names go eg expire when had i put them on bb etc i would have made enough it would seem to extend them with just a single sale from bb

That's why BB is a good place to sell your domains. If you have 100 domains all you need is 1 sale a year and you have covered your costs.

a brand is nothing more than an idea {but then again i am an ideas guy} i have an abundance of entrepreneurial ideas, concepts etc almost daily

but years when entrepreneurs used to chat etc about having that idea in the bathroom etc and not have a pen and paper to write the idea down before they forget it etc because you never know when you are going to have that next facebook idea

but today its so much different

because now when an entrepreneur has that revolutionary idea etc they go to a domain name registrar and register the .com etc of that idea because either they will use that domain to pursue that idea and the fact that the .com of that idea is available usually means they were the first to think of that idea? although not always but usually - but a trademark will usually be made by someone else after that .com has been registered but if someone else also has that idea they will want to buy the .com from the person that originally had the idea which is a win win situation eg make a succes of the idea using the .com? or sell it to someone else for big bucks so they can make a success of that idea having bought that ideas .com etc

Brandable invented domain names are very difficult to sell on auction sites. Brandbucket and other similar sites has made it a lot easier now to sell these domains for high prices.
