Where are the Best Places to Buy and Sell Your Domain Names?
All About Domain Names - Buying and Selling Domain Names
Do you have domain names to sell? Or are you a buyer looking to purchase names?
A good place for both domain buyers and domain sellers to start are at the Domain Name Forums.
At the forums you can sell names for a fixed price or ask for offers. If you are looking to purchase specific types of domain names you can post at the forums and may get replies from domain owners. Most forums limit you to one domain name for sale posting per day.
We suggest listing your domain names at several domain marketplaces. Submit your best names for premium listings or feature them for sale to get the most exposure.

Selling Tips
Set up your own "For Sale" page and list your names for sale. The advantage of selling your names from your own web site is that you don't have to pay any commissions on the sale.
Make sure your whois contact information is correct as many potential buyers will use this information to inquire or make offers on domain names. For large domain names sales use an escrow service such as Escrow.com.
