BrandBucket sent out their April newsletter today and it looks like the average sale was $2,793. (Sales over $10,000 are excluded). This was an uptick from March which showed $2,521 as the average sales price. November $3,044, December was $2,938 and January was $2,885.
There were 54 different sellers with 15 of those making multiple sales.
A Quick Look Back at March
March finished out a very strong first quarter of 2019. Removing sales over $10k, the average sale amount was $2,793. A total of 54 different sellers sold a name this month, including several first-time sellers.
Only 15 people make more than 1 sale in a month? Seems a tad low for such a big website.
That $2,793 is before they take 30%?
Taking some guesstimates here, but:
Assuming 100-120 sales per month, that’s ~1,200 – ~1,400 per year. Current inventory is >54,000 names (48 names per page, 1,130 pages in results for “*”), that’s a sales rate of ~2.2 – 2.6% p.a.
Not bad for the marketplace, but not great for sellers. The heady days of 5%+ sales rates are long gone, and some of the names they list these days would have been laughed out the door in years past.
