Ebay for domains?

Do you offer domains on Ebay - which category(ies) do you find work best?

I'm with Wizard on this one, Ebay is considered a joke for domains as far as i'm concerned

Too much cr*p for people to trawl through with rediculous prices !

eBay isn't the best place to sell domains for the above reasons. Too many poor quality names with extremely ambitious BINs.

The danger is that if you list a quality domain name it will be lost in the noise.

I can't believe how much you are all running down eBay to sell domains !

I just found a cracker on there http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/grunter-co-uk-...item1c19398264

Better than Twitter !

Has anyone listed a product domain within the category for that product? For instance, tried selling bedsidetables.co.uk within the bedroom furniture category (just examples)?

I've tried this a couple of times with no interest - just wondering if anyone else has done better.

has anyone actually profited from a domain sale on ebay sale is the question, i see a sea of zero bids. Pretty pointless. I would consider avoiding it. As doodlebug expressed, it be a joke.

I can't see that working because people looking for a bedside table aren't usually also looking for a domain name. You certainly won't find enough interest to bid up the domain price.

Are you listing it under domain names too - ie listing in more than one category? I suppose it may work every now and then if you did that.

There are categories that you can do that with very successfully - a music biography book often does better if listed in amongst the band's vinyl rather than being listed under non-fiction books for example.
