Yesterday Raymond of TLDInvestors had an article about Michael Krell of Brandbucket. Michael is going to be on DomainSherpa on Monday but unfortunately for many of the readers, he only reviews names and doesn’t discuss any of the questions. I had never met Michael before doing the show but its obvious he knows brandable names and knows which names can sell. He has data that nobody else has. Maybe Michael Cyger will have a more in depth interview asking some of the questions that have come up. The article and comments are yet again more questions of unfair advantage in our industry. The reality is that there is certainly a division of have and have nots in this industry. There is a ton of advantage available to many people . Unfair might not be the correct word but undoubtedly there is advantage. Its hard to go into detail but for 20 years there has been deals that give the larger players first dibs, cheaper pricing, and various advantages. But those larger players are also dumping huge amounts of cash into the entities. I don’t think any of it is illegal but it may crush the spirits of some of the guys trying to make a living off the bottom. The most public example would be drops. You didn’t stand a chance in the wild west of drops back in the day and still don’t. You’re forced to inter a pool with everyone else and then get into an auction and pay even more.
One question in the comments is about the success anyone else than Michael Krell on Brand Bucket. Ike who is a member of DSAD has had great success at Brandbucket. He sells several names a month. A reminder that success isn’t always shouted from the top of the mountain. On the contrary, many people prefer to keep success quiet because they don’t want more people to join in. They don’t want competition. So don’t assume that nobody is having success because you haven’t heard about it. It may be the opposite, if you haven’t heard anything about it, its because some are killing it and don’t want anyone else to know. Here are today’s names. Click to see current prices

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
