Thanks for covering BQB and thanks for the kind words guys!

BQB won’t be free forever however it will be free of commissions forever. The commissions have gotten downright ridiculous at many venues and domainers like me who do a lot of volume on small margins are being forced to sell elsewhere because we simply can’t afford to give 20% of our sale price away (often my profit margin is only 20-30% before commissions).

Once we get out of Beta, we’ll be charging an annual membership fee of $99 (amounts to 27 cents per day) and that’s it… You can opt for fancy listings and upgraded features if you want, but basic listings like you’d find on Sedo or Afternic will permanently be commission-free and obtainable for just $99 annually. For those whose Beta apps are approved, your memberships are permanently free, so I really encourage everyone interested to send an app — nothing to lose when it’s 100% free, other than a few minutes of your time in exchange for some extra exposure and a new venue for selling your domains at.

Sure beats the heck out of the $1000+ monthly I currently pay to these “brokers” who really don’t seem to do very much for the mammoth commissions they demand.

These commissions, which are now up to 20%, are just plain outright GREED, by consolidating GREEDY companies taking advantage of domainers. Congrats to Reece on this site, and his ‘fairness’ in treating fellow domainers. Big Thumbs Down to the GREEDY ‘big boys’!

Pigs get stuck, bears get full!
