[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

But don't you think that the price of the domain is significantly higher than when being sold on GD auction?

I was looking on some 4 leters . com which are on BB and I would see them go around 2000-3000 on normal auctions but they are listed more the 10.000.

What is your opinion?

I don't sell via GD Auctions... I sell via GD Premium. The name I sold via BB did not sell for higher than what I generally get via GD Premium. I rarely use GD Auctions and do agree - names there sell for less, which is why I rarely use them. Sedo also seems to sell for less. I list via GD Auctions and list a the same GD Premium BIN price solely as a marketing tool to get the names views (especially brandables like the one I sold) so people become aware of it and hopefully it sells. I like the idea of BB... I just worry about the exclusivity due to their lack of reach. If I were able to also list solely with GD Premium I'd give them a lot more of my names.

Long time waiting, 32 days have passed and my domains are still under the "Pending Review" mode...

Same here, 40 days, still waiting.

The oldest submit date I have that is "Pending Review" is 02/02/2015 (41 days) as of today.

What is your oldest submit date that is "Pending Review" (as of today)?

ps: I just had a group of logos cleared out from backlog (completed) this week... so I'm guessing we should see a Review Cycle this Tuesday/Wednesday... that's the pattern I have observed the past 4 months that a logo clean-up is followed by another Review Cycle.

Mine is Feb 6. Also had a logo done last week -- all caught up on logos, although I was only waiting on one.

 

[muttus]

Mine is from February 1st. .

Is the review process getting faster once you have couple in?

@muttus -

To answer your question - No (not from what I have observed and agree with @wwwulff )

From what I have observed...

Over the past 4 months the process has been linear and consistently has been a revolving 45-50 day cycle from the Submit date.

The Review Cycle appears to be date driven based on Submit date.

Review Cycle (Accept/Decline) ~ 40 days, followed by Seller write-up, followed by their Writer's Polishing, followed by Logo Design ~ 10 to 15 days, followed by Final Review and Publish to the site.

So every time I see my Logo Queue "cleaned-up", I get ready for another Review Cycle email, and sure enough... it shows up within 5-7 days later.

I hope the overview is helpful...

I got one name rejected a couple days ago. It was submitted on 1-Feb-2015. On that date, I have another name submitted, but that one is still on pending review.

I will say that there have been a couple of times when I have forgotten to remove a name from GD Premium, and the name has sold on BB for more than it was listed on GD. Then I go and remove it quickly

Very interesting. Imagine if you will the similar scenario in reverse... where it sells on GD Premium. How quickly can we remove names from BB? Are we able to delist them immediately as we are within GD Premium (or are we required to email and wait)?

There is a contractual 30 day waiting period after you contact BB to remove your name.

 

[12345]

Well, I've never had a name sell on another platform that was listed on BB ( I generally do a good job of removing them quickly after they are listed on BB). I'm not sure what is in BB terms and conditions about that scenario, but I do know you normally need to give them 30 days to remove it.

It will takes 30 days to be removed after BB receive a formal removal request

Actually, you are required to be exclusively on BB so the scenario you describe should never happen. I'm not sure how he managed to have his domains listed on GD since BB has an automated monitoring system to make sure that your domains are not listed on any other marketplace. As I recall, if you sold your domain elsewhere you'd still be obligated to pay BB their commission.

They do have an auto monitoring system, but it only checks major sites like Godaddy, AfterNic, SEDO, etc. However I see names all the time that are listed on ebay, boost names, flippa, etc that are also listed on BB. Which i think is wrong... if your gonna agree to a contract... HONOR your contract. HONOR your word. IMO

I sold my first name on Brandbucket (took 5 months) I was paid within 24hrs. It was a hand reg too, not from a droplist or auction. I stopped submitting names 3 months ago, I was waiting for a sale before I regged/submitted more. I currently have 46 names with BB. I haven't sold anything on Namerific or Brandroot yet.

Congrats, Gina. Can you share the name? Will you begin submitting names again now that you have your first sale at BB?

Congrat - What was the name?

 

[Doron Vermaat]

Brandbucket will roll out new custom for sale landing pages in a few days, I asked founder Margot Bushnaq about the changes and wrote about the details here: http://dngeek.com/2015/03/brandbucket-to-roll-out-custom-for-sale-landing-pages/

Hi All,

BrandBucket is in their Review Cycle... (right on schedule)

I just had 7 of 15 names Accepted this afternoon. 46% this cycle. Happy 1st day of Spring!.

Coincidentally, all 7 accepts were 6L names. The 8 declines were a blend of 6L, 7L, 8L names that didn't make the cut.

Hope the info is helpful...

-Jim

I also got a response from BrandBucket today, on names I submitted on 05.02 and 09.02. These are the first submissions I have made to BB, and the waiting time was around 6 weeks.

I submitted a total of 18 brandable, and 8 of them got approved. I am planning to list all of them.

 

[Brandworthy]

Anyone notice that the number of listed names went down from just over 10k to a little over 9k in the past couple of weeks. Looks like they may have cleaned out some names recently.

 

[muttus]

I got accepted too (from 01.02.). 3 out of 8. Congrats to all for successful submission. Now lets keep finger crossed for future sales.

@ Brandworthy I hope they are really making big sales instead of people leaving them due to no sales .

Have a nice weekend.

Yesterday got one name accepted and another one sold
