Company releases sales data…for last year.
BrandBucket released some sales data about 2016 today. Yes, we’re talking about data from last year so it’s a bit tardy.
The brandable domain marketplace sold 1,017 domains for an average price of $3,070, so sales totaled over $3.1 million. The median sales price (the most useful metric for sellers) was $2,295.
14.5% of sales were to repeat buyers.
238 people sold domains on BrandBucket last year and 51 of them had four or more sales.
The company also announced today that it is selling more premium domains after lowering its commissions for them. It has completed three six-figure transactions with more in the works.

Great numbers. Considering how these are brandables, the mean price beats both Sedo and DNS.
Piotr says
2.5% yearly turnover seems decent for brandables and may actually speak for BB’s added value compared to a private landing page.
Nat Hunt says
The numbers are good on the face of it, but in relation to 2015 it shows the fleeting returns of continuing to add inventory.
Inventory grew from about 23,000 to 43,000 names over the course of 2016. For an average, 33,000 is a pretty fair number to use. So BB sold 1,017 out of 33,000 names = 3.1% <— that's stellar
In 2015, they sold 801 out of 16,000 average = 5.0% <— that's insane, those were the good days, believe me
So the increase of 17,000 names only created an additional 216 sales.
216 / 17,000 = 1.3%

Great information here. Thanks. At the same time, I understand that they charge for every name that is added to their platform, so that’s an important revenue increase for them.

excellent marketing and sales team.
Richard says
With inventory almost doubling the main outcome here is that sales rate has declined significantly. The economics of selling on their platform continue to deteriorate IMO.
Beyond that, the elephant in the room continues to be insiders. If they were a public company I expect they would be required to break down those sales figures into third party and insider sellers.
How many of those 1017 sales are attributable to insiders?
