Best place to sell Domain Names?

hyphens can indeed be very useful - I've noticed that expertsexchange have finally got a hyphen in their name - for years they were ruefully hyphenless.

Useful to humans indeed - but unfortunately devaluing. If your not looking to sell (as I am sure experts exchange arn't) then it doesn't really make a lot of difference.

Also I am sure they still own the hyphenless name as well as the now hyphened name.

The main disadvantage associated with hyphenated domains is it's too easy to forget the hyphen(s) when typing the domain name or to make errors, as a result of which most users will end up on your competitor's websites.

That is a very good point. If you see an advert outside for "www.mysite.com" what do you remember in your brain - mysite.com. If you see "www.my-site.com" what do you remember in your brain - mysite.com again. You don't often think "my" "hyphen" "site.com".

A hyphenated domain is never a priority but people may go for this if they don't wish to register a very long domain name and want to get their domain name in specific tld only. Ironically the hyphenated domain version is easier to read as usually it has compound words while without hyphen domain name is easy to type, both have some advantage. A hyphenated domain name can do much better which have good quality content compare to rubbish content on a short & without hyphen domain name.

I prefer domains without hyphens. I might consider getting a domain name with a hyphen if the desired domain is already registered and there aren't any alternatives left.

With being away for a while, I'm catching up on the forums and when we hit the hypens comments, this was the first website that sprang to mind. Lol. Evidently great minds think alike!

How do you go about advertising a domain you have on sedo or afternic. I've got several listed but very little interest

I think in certain level the domain appraisal could work to find out the possible buyers.
