SquadHelp, BrandBucket, and Brandpa

[NameGroove]

Was researching whois.domaintools.com and noticed the following:

BrandBucket

Name Servers

NS1.BRANDBUCKET.COM (has 150,008 domains) NS2.BRANDBUCKET.COM (has 150,008 domains)

SquadHelp

Name Servers

NS1.SQUADHELP.COM (has 363,992 domains) NS2.SQUADHELP.COM (has 363,992 domains)

Brandpa

Name Servers

NS1.BRANDPA.COM (has 19,506 domains) NS2.BRANDPA.COM (has 19,506 domains)

Looks to me like SquadHelp is oversaturated and accepts too many names. Brandpa obviously isn't all that popular. Perhaps BrandBucket is the sweet spot after all. I've been on BrandBucket for 10 years and had some success there selling just under 1 name a year (with very small portfolio). However, although small, when their sales come in they are priced much higher than I would've priced making up for the long timeline to move names.

Hard to see how SquadHelp is going to sell names for me with this many domains competing against mine. I was quite excited to see all my names being approved - but now I realize it's likely a mirage. Too many names and when I search for my exact keywords my names are buried on page 10.

I've listed at Brandpa as well - although it appears they just aren't overly popular. I've tried contacting the founder here on NP and via email and no response. She's either moved along or more likely it's probably just a side gig for her. Only one reported sale via Brandpa in 2 years here on NP.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to get down to STR levels.

14 months later and...

BrandBucket has lost 5% of their listings (Since BB itself shows 139,200 Premium names this means ~3% of the NS pointed to BB are not BB approved). Unclear why people still have the NS pointed to BB in these cases.

Interesting stats. Would be even more interesting to see where the 5% actually went - developed vs moved to other marketplaces, afternic etc. BB actually sends the weekly new names digest - I once tried to open one from several years ago and clicked on random names, and could not find a single one that moved out, they all remained two years later.
