Domain Investing Stats and Tips

A look at some BrandBucket type sales on Sedo this week

June 1, 2016 by Raymond Hackney

This week was a good example of why you can’t put all your brandable eggs in one basket.

While the brandable boutiques specialize in selling brandable names you can be found on Sedo as well.

I would say the advantages of Sedo are 10% commission if you want to use their nameservers and list as a buy it now. The other advantage is higher pricing, BrandBucket and their competition are not going to price many names above a certain dollar amount unless they are a special 4L.com or an incredible one word .com that makes no sense giving up 30%.

Sedo this week sold the following:

Ubble.com for $6,999 and this looks like a buy it now sale. The domain was registered in 2014, so that is a nice turnaround for that kind of sale.

Grabbr.com sold for $9,000 and required an 11 year hold as the domain was registered in 2005. I don’t think BrandBucket would give this a $9,000 price tag, I think they would have accepted it in the $2,000 range.

Dilli.com sold for 12,000 Euros, I am certain this name would have been accepted on the brandable boutiques but not priced at 12,000 Euros. Regged since 2001 and dropped two times previously.

Viati.com sold for 6,500 Euros, regged since 1997 and dropped two times before that.

Chatbook.com sold for $8,000 regged since 2001. A Taiwan outfit MustNeed.com looks to be the seller.

Orison.com sold for 13,000 Euros, this name does have meaning “prayer” but many would see it being used as a brandable as well. Example being a developed new gtld, orison.energy.

The purpose of this post is not to abandon brandable boutiques but to keep your mind open to all opportunities and sales outlets.

    I think i like Dilli.com the most out of that batch. I’m actually surprised it didn’t make more than Orison.com. Dilli just sound like a much more playful brand name than Orison (Which almost made me yawn). ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Hi Eric,

      I agree. Dilli.com is a great CVAAV sale. Did you like this sale most because of the:
      (A) Pattern
      (B) Keyword ‘dill’
      (C) Both
      (D) Other

      For those that don’t know what a CVAAV domain is, it’s an advanced searchable version of CVCCV, that yields brandable domains similar to CVCV domains.

      CVAAV Breakdown:
      C= Consonant
      V= Vowel
      A= Repeating Letter –disregard vowels
      A= Repeating Letter –disregard vowels
      V= Vowel

      Example: Dilli

      D = Consonant
      I = Vowel
      L = Repeating Letter
      L =Repeating Letter
      I = Vowel

      I recently completed a detailed CVAAV report, and that will soon be published exclusively on NamePros.com

      DATA DISCLAIMER: I am HEAVILY invested in CVAAV domains. I even recently hand regged CVAAV.com before I decide to share my search hack on public forums. Before using my advice on YOUR domain investments, please note, the information is coming from somebody with a vested interest in the success of all CVAAV.com sale’s.

    DELHI (Capital of India) is known (Pronounced) as Dilli in local languages in India. I guess this sale is related to that. Not sure though.

    I like Ubble.com the best. Just reminds me of “hubble”, which reminds me of space, which is awesome. ๐Ÿ˜€

      Just need to make sure not to use it for any stock/investment related stuff (b/ubble) )
