Best place to sell Domain Names?
Hi all,
Where's the best place to sell domain names? I bought quite a few before I made my mind up which ones to keep and would now like to put them up for sale.
I'd prefer free with commission on sale, it's not desperate so I'm looking for a website hosting which lists until sold, rather than Ebay or auction website hostings.
Thanks.

Best to place your domain name on few domain parking website hostings, if it is really good name it will attract potential buyers.

You can park your domains at Sedo for sale. You can also list them for sale at forums for domain names like Namepros and DNforum.

Great places to start my research - thanks.
I'm not sure they'll sell here as they're pretty much small niche names (although there's $billions in the industry), unless you specialise in fireplace furniture of course, lol.
Anyway, here's the list:-
SOLD or keeping - thanks
The date after is the date they were registered, I posted these on a poker affiliate forum and they all seem very keen on knowing that date. I know that's alot of spare names, but they had a sale on at GoDaddy  I 'spose given enough lifetime I'll develop them all, but it seems silly to have them just sat there.
If anyone is interested PM me.
Thanks.

Is that list for expired domain name? I would really avoid domain name with hyphen, even if it's good domain name.

Thats a list of the domain names he's trying to sell that are his, registered and paid for.
Well some hyphenated domain names I would go for, example "The-Titanic.com" is currently selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars!!

I agree, some domains with a single hyphen are worth buying, especially when your first choice domain is already registered by someone else. However names with two or more hyphens are a strict no no.

I can agree with that one. Of course avoid hyphens at all costs if you can but like in the example I gave if it is a great domain name with one hyphen its worth the risk - yes its worth less but when its still worth hundreds of thousands anyway I think we can afford to lose a few thousand or so!

Some time a hyphen make good relationship with two words and that can be easy to remember as well for example like; single-dating, pre-sales.

Using hyphens to seperate words like remember the BrainSwank topic? That could be good with a hyphen between n and s which would make it easier for the name to be properly understood. Definitely, more than one hyphen (or hypens used unneccessarily - like n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n lol) is a no-no.

I agree brianswank.com could definitely have done with a hyphen!! - Misinterpretation like that can be fatal!!

I could not understand what you are talking about brianswank.com, I don't see any hyphen there?

But it should have one like www.brain-swank.com as www.brianswank.com (which is the actual domain) looks very rude in the wrong mind  .

I know what you mean about the hyphens, I wouldn't have touched them a year ago, but it seems from my own research that the hyphens do help (or don't hinder) when you're dealing with a really competitive industry like poker. If you take a look at any of the top poker website hostings they're all using hyphens for the page names, and lots of website hostings are using them in the domain name too.
Why is it so different for the actual domain name? If hyphens are effective in the page name, why does it not follow that they are effective in the actual domain name too?
Are hypens in the domain name to be avoided for resale value, or is there something I'm missing here?
Also, thanks for the laugh about BrianSwank.com

Hyphens lessen the value of a domain. www.pokerworld.com is more valuable than www.poker-world.com. I might "look" better or seem easier to remember the latter one but it is worth less than the first one. poker-world.com make look nicer on paper or in print but it requires more to be rememebered.
The shorter the domain the more valuable it is (espeically if it makes a word or common abreviation or relates to a big company). Hyphens and numbers devalue the domain unfortunately.

yeah, i would recommend Sedo or Afternic, both will give you a good idea of what your domain is worth. the only thing is to ensure you publicize it properly-- otherwise it could just sit there.
