Last November I took a look at the highest priced domain names on BrandBucket.
Lend.com was the highest at $2.5 million and Nude.com at $1.5 million. Neither name is now listed for sale at BrandBucket.
Mask.com is now listed on BrandBucket and has the highest asking price at $2 million.
The domain name registered in 1995 was owned by The Mask Group out of San Mateo, California. It went under privacy. The domain name moved to Fabulous from Network Solutions last year and parked at Uniregistry for a short period of time.
Genetic.com is the second highest priced name at $1,020,000. This name is another new addition.
These names would not be subject to 30% commission.
These would all be 15% commission unless they got a better deal.
- 30% for names below $10,000 USD
- 25% for names between $10,000 USD and $50,000 USD
- 20% for names between $50,000 USD and $100,000 USD
- 15% for names above $100,000 USD
Interestingly Olive.com was on the list back in November, it still points there with the note: OLIVE.COM IS NO LONGER FOR SALE ON BRANDBUCKET.
Maybe that means it sold, it was listed for $780,000, something Snoopy thought was a mistake to price a name like Olive.com and place the seller in a weaker selling position.
Some question pricing names like this at a brandable boutique, others note BrandBucket has deep pocketed buyers, advisors and VC’s who monitor inventory. Shane Cultra and Travis did just score a large sale with Niq.com which was listed at BrandBucket.
It is probably not a wise asking price. This is a name that will be worth a lot less than its current value in couple of years. They are likely to miss the boat pricing it like that.
I think you are assuming the Covid-19 will fade away and everything will be back to normal.
Experts are saying they already seeing so many mutations/variations of this corona virus and it will be a recurring theme for few years. Then who knows what else can come in future.
In addition, lost of people worldwide will be scared to get out of home/fly etc without a mask in future. Who would like to die? Even if people don’t wear a mask all the time, they will sure keep one with them all the time if/as needed.
I see so much innovation and new kinds of masks coming in future; sonic, IR, UV, Self disinfecting, mask caps, filter masks, vent masks, and 1000 other variations.
On top of that this is something whole world needs, and needs all the time (you don’t just buy one that will last your lifetime).
I think the domain is underpriced and will be work much more in 5 to 10 years.
I could be wrong.
Not sure why the owner listed the domain at BrandBucket. I think selling such a short, one-word domain is easy and does not need third marketplaces’ helps.

It is probably not very easy if they want that price. They have got a blessing with the pandemic as the name would not be in particularly high demand otherwise. It has probably gone from 80k to a 200k domain but it will go back to 80k over time.
Seems they are intent on blowing it though with that pricing.
I don’t see any corona/covid domains listed at BrandBucket, so I assume this means they don’t allow any pandemic domains to be listed.
So how is Mask.com allowed to be listed since it’s obviously a pandemic motivated listing?
Current Google search numbers for “mask” are censored since end of February. However you can extrapolate them via Google Trends.
I’m seeing 2,640,000,000 results o Google for “mask.”
Brand Bucket is a bad joke.
