The Official BQB.com Thread

[VURG]

I think I started the first BQB.com auction ever. I'm not sure but it looks like it's up and running.

 

[-REECE-]

24 hour auctions are now possible. For members who find that too short, a 48 hour option has been added as well. All auction length choices that were there previously are still there as well.

Too short, not enough members yet in my opinion.

My one concern about BQB.com is the number of changes for the site. Reece, don't underestimate yourself and get too swayed by other opinions. While most (if not all) of the changes have been good, the frequency in the changes seems a bit rushed. Thanks for the good work. I have made $X,XXX sales to the customers that I have sold to in the first month and have been very happy with the experience.

Thanks Phil -- and thank you for your continued support since the start :tu:

I'm glad to hear you've been having good results on BQB.

Changes will hopefully slow down over the next month or so. The developer is working on 1 major change which will add some much needed features to BQB (adding ending times of items on the homepage, prices updating when bids go up for featured items, items not being removed from the "watched" section when higher bids are placed, compatibility with
OS X).

It will allow members an additional venue to list at. Currently domain name forums are really the only place where domains can be sold in a hurry with much success. As long as a sufficiently high starting bid is required, there's no risk involved and it will just help the domain owner gain additional exposure at worst and an additional sale at best.

Do the bidding system follow the same procedure as in Namepros and ebay..
That your bid gets automatically raised if the next bid is placed??(ie obviously if you have put a very high bid)

i wanted to make sure as i am already bidding on a few domains......

Also is there any option of retracting your bid??

 

[Idees]

Yea, your bid is automatically raised.

I had a problem with this auction.. When i saw it stated that it will get over on 3rd june , but when i opened the auction today it was already over and it also states end time as 2nd june...
I checked it yesterday(my time) 12 am--practically 3rd june.. but it said 14 hours remaining , when i opened today at 12pm, ie 12 hours later it stated auction ended..

Reece please look into this....

EDIT


Ok, i juest understood what might have happened...
This domain was bought via a buyout... so is it because of this that it shows the changes in end time and all??

 

[-REECE-]

Hi mate,

Yes, I can confirm that being the reason as I'm processing Paypal payments for Sufyan (his country isn't supported by Paypal) and received payment right around the end time listed.

Will send you a pm James

I've received several pms/emails about allowing domains longer than 1 word outside of the store section. Would you guys like a section for multi-keyword domains on BQB?

BQB's members are domainers, so enduser prices like you might find on Sedo are not to be expected, but it could make for an additional venue to wholesale multi-keyword domains.

A big YES from me Reece. Maybe just one category for them and then some sub-categories so that most of the main categories are still for short domains.

Thanks for the quick response David

As the biggest seller on BQB, your opinion means a lot to me.

i agree with that

 

[-REECE-]

Thanks Diddie!

In the process of setting it up now -- should be functional within a few hours.

i agree with that

edit: All multi-keyword or non-generic domains can now be listed here: http://www.bqb.com/Other-Domains,category,2366,parent_id,categories . :tu:

Auctions scheduled for longer than 10 days will now be defaulted to 10 days remaining in the event a bid is placed. If you'd prefer an auction to run it's due course (BQB allows auctions of up to 90 days), please set a high starting bid that you'd be content to see it sold at.

I'm in the process of setting up a buyer/seller verification program at present. Should have it up and running within a few hours.

Reece,

Any way to edit a draft? I think there used to be something like that which isn't present now. Or am I missing something?

 

[-REECE-]

Hi Sufyan,

The best way to do it at present is to go into your draft and click under "Sell Similar". This is an edit of your draft (I really should get the wording changed!).
