Ask HN: Best way to sell unused domain names?

2 points by alwayslearning 8 years ago | 9 comments

I've acquired several domains in the past year that I'd like to sell. What services/methods would you all recommend? I have several .coms I think would sell for quite a bit, but I'm not out to bilk or price gouge folks; I just don't need them myself.

Would you be willing to donate them? I am the founder of OpenDomain and we are "Open Source for domains" - we let non-profits use domains for free.

Hey! I'd usually say yes (and I'm not saying no) but see my response below to sharemywin - I'd be happy to email you if possible since non-profits might be interested (theoretically). How should I contact you?

I might be interested can you email me? in profile.

Also, I had an project I'm about to start that might help.

I don't think these particular domains would be helpful to you... trust me.

edit

Not to imply they're low-quality, they're just more protest-oriented than business-oriented, if that makes sense.

I've done it on eBay a couple times

Based on you sharing that I'm assuming it worked out well then?

If by "well" you mean "didn't lose money on it" ... yes

If by "well" you mean "made a metric boatload of cash" ... no :)
