BrandBucket.org rebrands to a .shop and gets a trademark approved
Back in December of 2016 I wrote an article about BrandBucket.org. It seemed odd for a brandable marketplace to use the same name as the leader in that niche. A Norwegian man has filed a trademark application for brandbucket. The applicant has registered the domain name brandbucket.org. From Trademarkia: Status Update! On Saturday, December 3, […]

I was saddened to see a post by Michelle on Namepros that longtime member Randy Pendleton (Archangel) had passed away. Randy was a bright guy who dealt with a lot of health problems in his life. Randy was a member since June of 2004 and had over 10,000 posts. Randy was a published writer and […]
Continue ReadingGoDaddy really needs to scrap these valuations
Anyone who has been in this business for just a solid year, knows that artificially generated valuations are crap 99% of the time. I had an interesting conversation about a week ago where someone asked me about the GoDaddy valuations. I said they are mostly for entertainment purposes but I do think they do harm […]
Continue ReadingNamepros/NameJet user creates fake accounts to show how to shill bid
Namepros member Hookbox posted that to test NameJet’s system, he created three accounts and could be set up to shill if need be. I want to make clear before people lose their minds, he did it to point out the problems with monitoring for shill bids. Here is the post: So now I have 3 […]
Continue ReadingWhether something is legal or not, optics matter
I think one thing that needs to be discussed internally at all the auction houses is, “How does this look?” Something can be legal, but the optics don’t look good. I will say point blank, if I ran an auction site, I would have in the TOS that you cannot bid on a family member […]

A lot of info is coming to light on Namepros and to a lesser degree on TheDomains where people are commenting on NameJet bidding practices. It seems to me that another company should also be working to get their act together, GoDaddy. At least at NameJet we have bidder id’s, and I think it’s very […]

When trying to get paid in the domain space you have to offer something that is a must have. Now many tools get a few subscribers but it also motivates others to create a free tool that offers similar features. The latest site out there that is moving to a paid model is ZFBot. A […]
Continue ReadingSo let me get this straight…
So as I wrote about on TheDomains.com, GoDaddy removed an auction listing for RapeKids.com. A despicable name that can’t be spun as some try to do both legitimately and not legitimately with other controversial or crude domains. The domain name is also on sale for $95 at Sedo. To be fair the news that came […]
