I just see a godaddy parking page at BQB.com . is it dead? what happened to the registered users? Was it a scam?

I just wanted to thank you for informing your readers about BQB

We currently have 145 approved members and are adding them at a rate of about 10 per day (from about 20-25 applications per day on average). Support from current members has been absolutely overwhelming — I have Namepros to largely thank for the exceptional quality members BQB is ever so privileged to have so far. Volunteer support has been absolutely overwhelming, with far more people offering to help out at no charge than I have work to go around — clearly many domainers are interested in having alternative auctions. Many short domains go for less than the minimum allowed bids on the major marketplaces, so BQB is providing domainers of 5 letter .coms, 4 letter .nets, etc with a venue to sell their domains.

We’re flirting with the Top 100k mark on Alexa at the moment and averaging approximately 3000 pageviews and 500 uniques daily, which suggests to me that many domainers are tired of paying commission (me included!).

I’m hoping to launch a one time $5 address verification option inside of a couple months which will hopefully help make up for the shortcomings the current system has. As you said — it’s impossible to prevent all fraud, all non-paying bidders, and non-delivering sellers, but this is one of the major areas I’m hoping BQB can be a leader in. It doesn’t matter afterall if you can get a higher price at a different auction venue if the sale doesn’t go through in the end.

Thanks once again for informing all your readers Bill and to any readers that made it this far through my post, please include “Bill” in the “Referred by” text box found mid-way down the BQB registration page — this helps me figure out how BQB members are finding BQB and may help towards planning future advertisement and marketing campaigns. All applications are manually reviewed before being (or not being) approved and the current approval rate is under 50% (we’re really looking for quality members!), so please submit the best application you can and follow that up with a pm to username: “Reece” if you’re a Namepros member.

With best regards,
