Domain Investing Stats and Tips

With brandables you need a lot of patience

May 12, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

When it comes to certain kinds of brandables patience and belief in the name are paramount. One kind of brandable is the the misspell or added letter.

Adding an extra R for example became trendy after Fiverr.com became popular. I owned one Gopherr.com, I picked it up for a project but then got a better name for that project. I had no use for the name and sold it on Namepros for $30.

I was looking at the Sedo weekly sales and saw that Ponderr.com sold for $3,000. The name was listed at BrandBucket but sold at Sedo through that partnership.

The domain name had dropped 4 times in the past. Sometimes it was someone just giving the name a spin for one year and then a drop. Never developed it looked like different domain investors taking a flyer on the domain name.

I think many times when registering names like this, people think they will take a flyer for a year it’s only $9. I think you have to approach these as they are only $45, meaning give yourself 5 years minimum.

Back in 2018 Ponderr.com was priced at BrandBucket at $2,795 in 2019 it looks like it got priced up to $3,295.

The sale Sedo reported was $3,000. Congrats to the seller.Ponderr.com

    Brandable domains can be pain IMO.
    Too many variables.

    Why do people expect their brandable to sell within a year ?Better to wait 5 years if you are a domainer.Better to be patience as you may be selling too cheap if a company decides to buy for $3000 and get funded for $3m.Then come regrets of selling too cheap.

    I do prefer short brandables and with real keywords .2 word brandables are better in my own opinion or one word well made up but easy to pronounce or spell.By adding extra “r” ,double “i”or double whatever,people should not put all their hopes on it except they are personally building a business on it.

    I dropped all of my Brandable domains which listed at BrandBucket, but I still saw it active on the web. Do brandbucket have back order team to catch expired domains?

    Luck plays a lot of role in brandable sales imo.

    I have sold brandables for 5-figure and then similar other brandables people will offer peanuts for.

    Good thing about brandables is you can ask a lot due to not many comparables but bad then you may have to hold for years….

    Brandables are a form of gambling in the domain name industry. Tough to sell, takes years, the pool of buyers are very low IMO.
