I sold another name at BrandBucket this week. It was a name that I picked up at DropCatch in February. BrandBucket originally wanted to list the name for under $3K, but I knew the name was a lot better than that. I ended up appealing for a higher price and was able to list it for just under $5K. It sold a month after it was listed for the full price. The appeal process at BrandBucket needs to be fixed. It takes forever (almost 2 months in this case) to get an answer. I’ve got other appeals in the pipeline that have been in there for longer than 2 months. Beyond that, I don’t even remember exactly which names were appealed, because it isn’t shown on the site – you need to track it yourself. Anyhow, BrandBucket isn’t always going to get initial pricing right – they go through a ton of names. If it looks like there is an obvious mistake, appeal it. Just don’t appeal everything please – the process already takes too long…

Congrats on the sale Travis. Have you ever used BrandPa.com? I have a domain TechRupt.com which BrandBucket appraised for about 8k while BrandPa appraised at I believe it was 3.5k. There can be such big differences in their appraisals, and because of it I send them in to both of them each time I’ve got a name I’m submitting.
Thanks Tom. I do have names listed at Brandpa, and I did run this name through them too. They rejected it because of their silly notion that artificial double letters in a name do not sell or make good brands.
very interesting!
Hi Travis — Congrats on your sale! Can you share what the name was? Cheers, Carl
Hi Carl, email me next week after it is paid, and I’ll let you know.
