How do I sell my unused domain names?

I have over 100 domain names registered. Most of them are in my industry, some are not. Some get a lot of inquiries, some do not. How do I begin in the world of "domaineering"? I'd like to use the more popular domain names and create traffic for other topics... like credit cards, mortgages, male enhancement, etc. Thanks Dave!

Dave's Answer:

There are a bunch of sites where people try to buy and sell domain names, but in my experience, the best bet is to have a modest "for sale" graphic on the page that the domain serves up, but actually have some content of some sort, even just 2-3 paragraphs. Then the domain has SOME "existence" on the net, and has much greater value than if it's just a word. Make sense?

This helps the buyer too because hopefully the one page you have hosted on the domain is no longer in the sandbox and when the domain transfers and goes through the Google hiccup (Google checks domain name record change dates as one of its many variables for calculating search engine results placement) it'll come out in a few days or weeks, rather than a few months.

Two of the best sites I recommend for people interested in buying or selling domain names are AfterNIC and Great Domains.

Believe it or not, a lot of people also sell domain names on eBay. Just use the "reserve" feature to specify a minimum winning bid, but start bidding really low and see what happens. Be realistic, though. Most domains sell in the range of a few hundred or lower, though a very small few of them can sell for astronomical numbers. Try this link to see some of the almost 4,000 domain names for sale on eBay as I write this answer: Home / Buy / Computers & Networking / Other Hardware & Services / Domain Names

When you do get a buyer lined up, I do strongly encourage you to use the services of Escrow.com to ensure that neither party gets ripped off. Once you change the ownership of a domain record, there's no going back...

Hope that helps you out!

Fawzi said, on October 26, 2009 10:42 AM:

Hi Dave,
I have a domain name called searchofstars.com
would you please tell me what price it deserves?
many pub agencies may love it and I do not want to sell it with a price less than it deserves! would you please suggest a respectable price for it?

Dave Taylor said, on October 26, 2009 10:54 AM:

Hate to tell you this, Fawzi, but I don't think that domain has much if any value at all. It's not a dictionary word, it's not an English phrase, it's not a common misspelling of a popular site name, it's not a TV show or movie title. I think you'd be lucky to see $100 for it, personally. Good luck to you, though!

Fawzi said, on October 26, 2009 1:52 PM:

Ok! that's clear lol!!
thanks for telling me what you think and I believe you have th experience and I totally trust your judgement. and if you do not mind, I want to tell you about my other domain names.. please tell me what are their chances?

Greece said, on January 13, 2010 6:33 AM:

Hi Guys,

I would like to sell two of my domain names and I write here to get people offers idea about them. The domain names are;

www.ezeestore.com

EzeeStore.com is highly effective and attractive for online products sellers for shopkeepers and for import & export companies.

www.pay2settle.com

This domain is very very much effective and internet traffic-oriented for Real Estate and Financial Service Providers, plus for Travel and Tour Industries.

Write me back if you are interested in buying the above mentioned domain names.

And I would like to know Dave, what you have to say about their minimum prices?

Thanks a lot for your consideration.

Dave Taylor said, on January 13, 2010 6:50 AM:

I have to say that none of the domains people have posted about recently here, neither itsolutionshouse.com, ezeestore.com nor pay2settle.com, have much of any value in the marketplace. They're long, awkward, graft together words that don't really make sense together and have misspellings (e.g. "easystore.com" or "ezstore.com" might be better, but "ezee"? Not so much). Sorry.

Greece said, on January 13, 2010 7:29 AM:

Good Afternoon Dave,

Thanks for your reply about the market.

ezeestore.com or pay2settle.com are not much, but I think might have some chances of hitting the interested individual, as because there is shortage of dictionary word on net.

Anyhow thanks for your kind consideration.

Best of luck in your future.

Joy said, on February 27, 2010 2:36 PM:

Dear Dave, I purchased several domain names [to resell, they are unused]on Godaddy, and want to know if I can sell them on another site, such as Flippa or Sedo? If so, how do I go about doing that? I have several names that are great for the solar energy and green energy industry - as well as others. Thank you in advance for your response.

Jason said, on March 17, 2010 8:29 PM:

Hey Dave,

Great blog you have here. Right now I'm very frustrated. Sedo has rejected 40 of my domains in the past month. All the domains I put on the GODaddy never attract any attention. I buy many domains based on their market popularity and keyword searches.

I know I must be patient, but what will it take to make a sell? I only sold one domain which was because another wanted it, and not for its value. I have many domains targeting jobs,
travel places and shopping. I want to make it a goal to at push one of my domains into Sedo or another auction house. I am really good with buying domains, but have struggled on the selling side of the eqation.

I recently picked up graduateplusloans.net, ticketdeals.org, sportingtickets.us, multidimensional.us, grantwritingjobs.com, loanjobs.net, petjobs.net, fitnesstrainerjobs.net, animationprograms.us and many others. I have 50 domains
that target NYC. I also have ringsrings.net, ringdb.com and cakegalore.com. My ringsdb.com generates over 900 unique visitors per month. I still can't seem to attract any attention.

have many targeting art like drippainting.com, drippaintings.com, sfmuseums.net and sfmuseums.org, lamuseum.net, NYCmuseum.org and nymuseum.org. Furthermore, I have niagrafallsny.org. Mostly all my domains were generated on their keyword and name popularity.

Should I consider hosting these domains? I have a cash park account at GoDaddy, but park my domains at Sedo. Sedo doesn't allow any parked domains to be advertised or manipulated. How can you increase the value a domain if you can't host or advertise it?

Sedo has rejected many good dains, only to accept ones that have no traffic and worth. I also have gogps.net, selfphoto.net, mediainfluence.net, cakedb.com, journalismphoto.com and other domains too. Any ideas how I can sell any of my 300+ domains? I put them on Moniker\Snap Names. I'm hoping I can attract se buyers.

I won a domain that has major searches - Venezia-abc.com. I was unable to sell it in the GoDaddy auction on two occassions, whereas I battled a dozen bidders in winning this domain. Many times I see domains going for more than they're worth on estibot and websiteoutlook. I am interested in what it will take to make a sell now then to wait. I wouldn't want to let these domains expire. Thanks in advance.

Ps - Sedo suggests setting prices using their price suggestions. Englandnew.com is determined as a domain worth more than $10k. I'm not sire what to believe. I have a blog that has more articles than total traffic. Magicwriter.blogspot.com. I'm also having trouble with building traffic there, as well. Thanks.

Jason said, on March 17, 2010 8:58 PM:

Dave,

I forgot to ask you about how I can write content on a parked page. Would I need to subscribe to a hosting plan? How do some people buy domains and sell them without traffic? How does Sedo determine what is quality versus what lacks quality? I recently viewed hdmicables.com go for $12,000 at GoDaddy, while websiteoutlook had it vaued as $150. Estibot valued it at $165k.

Autoinsurance.com recently sold for 7 figures but is only worth $2007.50 and has 915 page views. Estibot has it valued at $20 million. Some other collectors told me that I need to
use my head when buying, but then they start to believe
absurd values in many domains.

Who can I trust to appraise my domains, especially when there many domain appraisal sites are vastly different? Will an appraisal help a domain attract attention?

Thanks again for your help.

Jason Goodlin said, on March 19, 2010 5:24 PM:

Hey Dave,

These are the stats from a domain which I won at an auction. Since then, I haven't been able to entertain any offers for it. Any suggestions on how I can sell this domain? It receives around 600 unique visits per month. At one time, it was generating 700+ visitors per day. This domain was once a web site before. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave.

Love your blog, but am confused about your "terms." Do they mean that by asking you someting about the value of one of my my webstites that you get some form of ownership of it? Moreover, where do I find the exact terms you refer to?

Thank you

Rick said, on April 27, 2010 11:04 PM:

great article dave, i put together a craigslist type domain site at 48domains.com and i was wondering about escrow.com to help people not get ripped off so thanks for the tip.

i used some other services like flippa.com and leasethis but didn't like the pricing and the smallish hassle to upload my domains.

i have over 400 domains so i'm really looking for something simpler and that's why i put together the site.

What about my domain?? I just purchased it: www.i43dporn.com lol I know its on the NAUGHTY side but its the NEW wave of the future i think..."/

Dave Taylor said, on July 1, 2010 11:19 PM:

Kim, is it "I for 3D porn"? Good luck with that one, I don't think it has any value at all: too complicated. :-)

kim said, on July 1, 2010 11:23 PM:

No its www.i43Dporn.com its pretty simple i think and it kind of looks like *143* like "i love porn"..not that I do. And with the new iPhone4 ummm yes I think this might catch on down the line...Only time will tell! :P

Rob said, on October 10, 2010 10:59 AM:

Dave a customer of mine in your business says my domain
carcaredenver.com is worth a lot, I did a search on it not well because i really do not use that site
A famous ghost writer put it up and left like it is,
However i did a value on mastermechanicdenver.com and automechanicdenver.com
both came back valued at almost 800k
any thoughts on these 3?
Thanks
Rob

Dave Taylor said, on October 10, 2010 10:17 PM:

Rob, those domains aren't too bad, but there's no way I can imagine that they're worth $800,000 or so. What I would say, however, is that domains are worth what someone will buy them for, no more, no less. If you can find a buyer for $800K, awesome, congrats.

What is your take on selling .CO domains? You think this is worth investing in?

Ron said, on November 27, 2010 6:15 PM:

I have to domains that I get calls on all the time but never really thought about selling till lately due to the economy.

I am sure I cant get a treasure for them.. again because of the economy.

However if I could get a decent price I would shut the site down and sell the domains if not I will just keep it running.

I have not touched the sites in a couple years, it was just an idea I never really put much effort into.

The domains are:

Americasbestmall.com
amall.com

Do you think either of those would fetch nice coin?

Ron

Ron said, on November 27, 2010 6:24 PM:

In addition I also have:
amall.biz
amall.ws
kdsbbq.com

Do any of these sound of any value?

John said, on June 3, 2011 6:15 PM:

Selling domains for good money first requires buying good domains. So........

One simple and golden rule to remember when registering domains is to think of your targeted Business, the business has the capital B.

And buyers are not aliens they want value for their money. Put yourself in your customer shoes and imagine why you would want that domain? why would you buy it for $100 or $1000 when you could register such domain for $10? How much money you can get out of it? Remember all of the domain buyers want to make money from domains either by developing it into website or reselling it for money.

Do you give the buyer what it takes to sell>>???

i want to sell this domain .plz tell me how much i get and where to sell i want to sell it fast...

Craig said, on June 27, 2011 9:22 AM:

The problem is so many people are just buying useless, spammy domain names that often mean nothing, in the hope of making thousands back on them. I've seen loads that have just been purchased purely on the basis to sell, and hold no history, weight or presence.

Even if a domain is years old, has never been flagged for violating Google's T&C's, it still doesn't justify a massive price.

Unless it is a dictionary word or phrase its tough to get a decent price or even sell a domain.

Like Dave said, always becareful of branded domains, as these can easily be seized by the company. I read a story about someone who purchased a Google related name not long ago, and it resulted in the person having to tranfer the domain to Google for free.

I have never sold a website before. I have no idea what my domain is actually worth as I have never promoted it but I purchased videomouth.com over ten years ago and now I want rid as I just don't have the skills to build a marketable video website by my self.
I bought it before you could really see video on the internet in a browser. nice prediction really.

I need help :/

Andrei said, on February 9, 2012 10:34 AM:

Hello,
Could you recommend a host company to register domain name with?
Can you give some ideas to get hosting service for free?
For example, I have an idea to offer a ten(10)percent of selling profit of the domain name to the hosting company. Do you think it could work?

Thank you

Andrei

Bill said, on February 23, 2012 1:59 PM:

Hi Dave,

Thank you for this page. It is very informative.

I was recently offered $7,500 for the geo domain of sananselmo.com The contract was not agreed to as the buyer ended up purchasing two local city sites instead.

estibot estimates an appraisal value of $25,000 for the name, which is comparable to what the local cities ( .com extensions ) end up selling for. These cities are located in Marin County California, which is a high income demographic.

Are there people I can contract with who are in the business of working on commission to sell domains of this nature?

Thank you.

Wealth said, on March 1, 2012 8:23 AM:

Daniel said, on November 16, 2012 7:45 AM:

Hi Dave,

Thanks for a very helpful article. I am not trading domains, but I have a problem with one domain and I have no idea how to go about it.
I am volunteering for a small charity in Sheffield (UK), more specifically I am redoing their website. A while ago (few years) there was one guy who made that website for them, sorted out a free hosting with another charity, bought domain name etc. Since the domain name is registered in his name, and he disappeared and we have no way of finding/contacting him, we can't move it to different hosting or do virtually nothing about it. Somehow the domain is being renewed every year, we know which domain registration service provider it is registered with, we know the guys name, and that's about it. How would we go about re-registering that domain in the charity's name, instead of that guy, is that at all possible? If we happen to get in touch with him, what should we ask for?
Thanks for your help.
Daniel

Gday Dave,

I just desire to know the best way to sell a specific domain name ?

I have one called ( FREESEXYCONTACTS.COM ),

So even though it's sounds sex site smutty,a nice person could build a good humble
meeting or dating site around (freesexucontacts.com)in which case if you
google my name ,it's ranked pretty sweet and if the copy writer creates lots of phrase match & exact match key words,yhey may just be on a gold mine?

What do you think please dave,

All the best mate.

Rodney joy.

Steve said, on December 17, 2012 2:04 PM:

Hi Dave,
Not too sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but I have www.cottageshabbychic.co.uk and www.holidayinhay.co.uk (hay on wye, uk)

I only bought them recently and now not too sure if I am going to continue with either website to be honest.
I have looked around the Internet, but the prices vary so much it is ridiculous.

From what I can see here from what I have read, I feel that you are the man to ask.

Many many thanks for your time

Steve

I have recently started my website. It is around 2 months old. I have started earning around 3$ per day. I spent around $1.5 Per day in its marketing. Can I sell this website? What should be the right price?
My site is http://www.azadkhayal.com

I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you, Dave, for all your helpful information by buying you a cup of coffee!
