Name for an electronic buyback start-up?

Dear ‘5000-strong’ Rodinhooders,

By this time next month I will be launching the Pilot phase of my electronic buyback start-up which has been code named as, ‘Project Bazinga’. The pilot will be launched in Mumbai and further will move on to Pune,  Bangalore, etc. 

The start-up has four offerings those are online sales assistance, trade-in, recycling and pure buy-back; we are going to offer them in the respective order with a time interval of 3-6 months in between each of them. The start-up is bootstrapped and the order of the offerings have been hence decided as per the capital needs and further success achieved at each level.

Now here is our problem! We are stuck without a proper generic name for registration and all allied purposes. We brainstormed, asked friends, asked geeks and nerds and also tried the Sheldon Cooper and the Sherlock Holmes’ ways but everything that came out was either used, copy righted, IP Protected or had a ridiculously huge domain cost that ran into lakhs. Hence the final option that we have considered is crowd sourcing the naming process with a decent cash prize or gifts worth the same prize.

If you guys have 5-10 mins of your time than please head here. We have introduced what the start-up will do and also laid down certain rules for the naming and also given examples or certain local and national players in the same space.

One lucky winner whose suggestion gets picked up would receive either a cash prize of Rs. 1000/- or gifts worth the same.

Hope to see a lot of awesome name suggestions. Therodinhoods forum is where my dreams got wings and hopefully now it will give those dreams an awesome name too. Also if you guys have suggestion and queries or can help in any matter please feel free to ask or contact us.

Thanks a lot for your Support.

Project Bazinga!

P.S: We know the website it bare basic but we are commerce students and currently the founding team has no developer hence we are learning to code on our own. The site is made on Google sites and only mapped to a custom domain, so nothing fancy there!

  1. Hey Ankit,

    Good to see you active over here..
    will definitely think of a name…but what is wrong with Bazinga??

    All the best for your venture!!

    Cheers!
    Tejas

  2. Hey Tejas,

    The word Bazinga actually means ‘Fooled you’ as per urban dictionary and the context in which it’s being used by the fictional character Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory. Hence it can’t be used.

    I have got some good one in the 10+ responses received but hoping to get more as well 🙂

    Cheers!

    Ankit

  3. Hi Tejas, Not sure if any of this would suite you. Still take a look at these names. I have all of them booked with me.

    ABSANDARMS.COM
    ABSNARMS.COM
    CEN2RY.COM
    CEN2RY.IN
    CEN2RY.NET
    CEN2RY.ORG
    FIDEM.IN
    HACKNHIT.COM
    HACKNHIT.NET
    HITNHACK.COM
    HITNHACK.NET
    HOLIPOP.NET
    MUSICINITSTRUESENSE.COM
    NILFAULT.COM
    NULLFAULT.COM

  4. Hey Vasudevan,

    Thanks for the effort 😛 But most of the names doesn’t suit my business needs 🙂 You can suggest something related to electronic buyback.

    Regards,

    Ankit

  5. I know, since I was in a hurry just copied all the domains I had. Why not straight away go for http://www.electrobuyback.com or

    buyback.co.in

    electrobuyback.in

    Still working ….will come out with more…

  6. This is a nice suggestion 🙂 Thanks for the effort. Please do suggest more as and when you come across 🙂

  7. Hi Rahul,

    Thank you for the link of your post, it was a worthy read. In the above post what I meant by generic was that it shouldn’t be around one particular device like mobile phones only as later it would result in a little narrow in true sense as we expand the operations.

    Thanks for your advice 🙂

    Regards,

    Ankit

  8. http://www.webuyyourworry.com or
    http://www.whyworry.com
    http://www.wbyw.com (short form for we buy your worries)

    most people are going to come to your site to sell stuff that they no longer use, dont want to use and want to get rid off . . .
    they would be worried as to how to get rid off something they dont want anymore.

    “” we buy your worry “” should stand for a forum where anyone can comfortably get rid off what they dont need and find value in that transaction at the same time.

    🙂 fayzad
    PS :: incase you like this idea, we could work further, I dont need the prize money, what i need is your value addition and ideas when I need them for my business . . .
    All good wishes !!
    🙂 f

  9. Hey Fayzad,

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions and if you want any valuation addition from me would definitely like to help you with anything 🙂

    Regards,

    Ankit Sawant

  10. e-buyback.com, e-buyback.in, buy-back.com, buy-back.in

  11. Hi Ankit,

    easybuynsell.com

    electronicexchange.com

    All the best:)

  12. Hi Saraswathi,

    Thank you for your suggestions 🙂

  13. These suggestions are good as well 🙂

  14. search for sastado.com  (as against sastalo.com), gizmoreturns.com, waapas.com, itkabaad.com, itraddi.com, eraddi.com, ekabaad.com, , just a few thoughts 🙂 

  15. Hey Sanchita,

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions 🙂

  16. UPDATE 24th May 2013: It’s been 4 days since I have posted this discussion and have received around 32 awesome entries. TRHS is the best!!! Keep sending your entries and yeah guys you can participate twice too!! Keep rocking!!

  17. Ankit I think what you are doing will be similar to what the “corner bhangaarwala ” does , yours is a online venture

    So I think of a quirky name derived from our colloquial language which should be short and universally likeable to ..at leased hope so.

    It’s : Kabaadi.com OR kabaadicomm.com

    Ashwin C P

  18. Hey Ashwin,

    Thanks for your inputs but I guess you got the concept wrong. What the kabaadi does is that they usual take the defunct and non-usable material for further resale whereas my start-up is concentrating initially on buybacks i.e. working condition goods which you usually traded-in while buying new goods, best example being a cell phone.

    We inherently plan to add an recycling option as mentioned on the website but not initially. Electronic buy back is a huge and quite unorganized market in India and with no player with a successful pan India presence, yet. The oldest electronic buyback program for handheld devices is only a decade to 15 years old in USA.

    Kabaadi.com will focus only on the recycling part of the business hence we need a more non-specific term or some unique word for the same. Appreciate your efforts on the same, if you visit https://www.projectbazinga.in/contest-alert then you might get a better idea about what we plan to do.

    Regards,

    Ankit Sawant

  19. Got it, in a way the same thing…for a American or chinees it doesn’t make diff…so as an Indian.. Btw if you select some name 1000/ are too meager for crowd source intellectual property:))

  20. Well it surely makes a difference to Indians especially when they are not able to get a good price or you make them a good price available 🙂

    I know Rs. 1000/- is meager but I am still succeeding in getting names with that budget 😛 Also I am bootstrapping so I ain’t able to afford anything beyond this. My original target audience (based on my budget) for crowd sourcing was college students who come up with awesome names and based on my guide lines provided. And since today’s Facebook promotions (without expenditure) the response has doubled and I already have three names that I like but I am keeping the contest open till first week June. 🙂

  21. Hi Ankit,

    Here are some interesting ones; direct, clear, catchy ….. best of all, they are available as dotcoms ( I checked):

    VapasBuy.com

    SecondSale.com

    SellAgain.com

    Sellular.co is available

    SoldSold.co is available

    OldSold.co is available

    GainSell.com

    Sellathon.co is available

    Regards,

    Kaanchan

  22. Hi,

    Since you are asking people to sell to you … here is a name i suggest

    Sellwhynot.com (.in, .co.in … etc. )

    or whynotsell.com (.in, .co.in … etc. )

     

  23. Ankit do share the finalized named we are too eager to know it!

  24. Hey Kaanchan,

    Thanks for your inputs and I really loved Sellathon! 😛

  25. Thanks Vineet,

    Apparently my partners name is also Vinit with the only exceptions of those ‘ee’ 😛

  26. Yes Ashwin! We will definitely be sharing the final name and the winner as well 🙂

  27. Glad you liked it and hope it proves useful to you…jgd, js!

  28. Hello Ankit, Let me know about my suggestions. 🙂

  29. Surely will let you know 🙂 

  30. Hi Ankit,

    It seems to a good initiative and I thought of contributing. Tried some indianise the concept and 

    Bizlore

    Bizliplex

    Bizzlify- Your eletronics concern simplfied

    Bizlimall /Bizlimart

    Gadgetown

  31. Hey thanks for your inputs Amit 🙂

  32. you can add some prefix or suffix take example i wanted to start a education based company with name bookworm , i had to faced same problem you are facing , after few searches in godaddy i got thebookworms.in with cost of 100 INR . and can you please see my discussion https://www.therodinhoods.com/forum/topics/need-your-suggestion-on-the-start-up-i-am-planning it might interest you also 

  33. Vtakecare.co.in…. as I feel there is an emotional connect with what the client wants to give away at a price… why people disassociate themselves with their units has various reasons & emotions… and with such a venture they will feel that their belonging is going in the safe custodians hands.. 😀

  34. the more simple it is, the higher the recall value 

    Xchangeit.com

    & it also represents what you do in one word

    above all i checked….the domain name is available [even Xchangeit.mobi is available]

  35. Hey Nitesh,

    Thank you for the suggestion and I saw your discussion and it’s pretty interesting. I have sent you a friends request to let’s connect their and talk about it a little more 🙂

  36. Nice Idea!! 

    Thanks Suhas! 🙂

  37. Hey Kinnari,

    That’s the most simplest of the names and I had assumed it to be taken. Thanks for this 🙂

  38. its difficult to be simple at times …. 😉

  39. ebuy.com

  40. Bingosell/sale.com ( bingo as in Bingo , sell as in sell 🙂 ) 

    twicelucky.com ( implying you got  a good deal while buying , now 2nd time lucky since you sell it a good price)

    sell-e.com /e-sell.com(pronounced as sell-ee.com ,  e stands for electronics) 

    selltronics.com (amalgamation of Sell and Electronics)

  41. Ekabadi.com

  42. sellabhi , abhisell 

    bechdo , bechde , sellmasti , sellguru

  44. Wow 😛 Thanks a lot for such an amazing list 😛 Will get on it now 🙂

  45. Hey I really liked selltronics 😛 Thanks a lot 😛 Twicelucky as sounds promising 🙂

  46. Hey Karan,

    Considering Sellmasti 🙂 Thanks a lot

  47. Ankit finally which name you choose????

  48. Well I haven’t chosen a name yet. I had liked a few but the domain is already occupied so still keep the contest live. I had liked SellTronics and sellitfor.me but both weren’t available and a couple of others shared the same fate. 🙂

  49. You can either Eat your Cake or HAVE it 😉
    As they say in Hindi – Daant hain toh Chane Nahin, Chane hain toh Daant Nahin… 🙂
    Choose ONE and get it to the Next Level, as they say (someone very Learned this one) What’s in a name !!!
    Who would have thought a name like “Microsoft” would be a BIG thing one day!!! Cheers!!

  50. Got some names in the portfolio that you may find valuable:

    kharid.in
    khareed.in
    buymy.in
    sellmy.in
    paid.in
    paisa.in
    rupee.in
    wholesale.in
    warehouse.in
    dealer.in
    price.in
    direct.in

    Let me know if interested – maybe we can work out a deal.

  51. Hi Ankit, 

    Interesting contest. I’ve submitted my entries on your contest page. Looking forward to your feedback. 

    Please specify if you need only a dot com, so that we can restrict our ideas/entries accordingly. 

    Also if you can give some credit or prize for a tag line, it would be great. I’ve given some indicative tag lines or few lines against the names, but once the name is chosen I can improvise on it. 

    Sridhar

  52. Seems like I am going to go by impulse and give it some absurd name 😉

  53. Hey Indy,

    Thank you for your suggestion 🙂 Will surely get back to you soon 🙂

  54. Hey Sridhar,

    I am currently looking the name with at least dot com, co.in and .in domains available for the same. Hope this helps.

    -Ankit

  55. Looks Like this whole post is Heading for a BLOW UP 🙂 Cheers!!
