    Hi All...

    I am new to this site and pretty new to the world of buying and selling domains.

    I was wondering if somebody could lend me some advice on the best way for me to sell the domains i currently own.

    I own justaskus.co.uk.

    Thanks!

    Have a payment method in place, learn what’s needed for the transfer, try and get the names listed (even a simple how to contact you page at the start….) If you’re not going to sell a name below a certain price it save’s you time and buyers alike if you state your asking price. Spend a day a month at least finding out whom to contact within potential buyers companies and contact them … If it’s a specific product etc keep an eye on trade shows, marketing pushes etc. Figures about search volumes, growth in sales etc (not too much) can help when cold calling potential buyers,
    There are many methods the above are not a bad start though

    Great advice above, list them on here with prices, send them to auction or develop them and sell them as sites. It really depends on what you want to do with them and how much effort you want to put into marketing them!

    Hi,
    Im in the same situation. My daughter asked me to buy a domain for her (www.party-frocks.com) so she could post some celeb pics and ask her friends to post pics of themselves etc. She then gave up on it after a few weeks (typical of her) and has asked me to sell it for her, so I am glad of any help I can find here.
    I have added a 'Domain for sale' page to her site but nothing else.
