Ask HN: Where to sell domain names?

6 points by jamesgagan ↗ HN
I have a few .io names I am not using and want to sell. No idea if they have any value beyond the actual cost, but where is a good place to sell domain names these days? Sedo is the only one I know of. Anyone have experience flipping domain names? I have hunter.io, tunes.io and songs.io - seems like they might be worth something to the right person.

I would sell them on any site you can find. Not one site will work I think the best is to expand your exposure as much as you can. Even if you get only 1 extra view that is a potential. :)

We just opened up a forum section where you can list domain names for free. No fees, just list and you can sell it private without paying the extras that others pay. We only have one listing, but then again we only opened the forum today: http://killerdomains.com.au/forum/aftermarket

http://www.namepros.com (I got banned from that site years ago after a buyer framed me, so f* them)

http://www.flippa.com - probably only worth it for higher end stuff

http://www.sedo.com - if it's really high end, just get a broker from there and have them deal with selling it.

thanks. i'm giving flippa try but i'm a bit discouraged by the number of add ons they try to sell you.
chatmasta, it looks like you were banned from NamePros by someone who is no longer part of our staff, and I couldn't find a good explanation for the ban. We're very careful about bans these days, and they don't happen without good reason. I've unbanned you, so you should be able to log in with your old account. (Paul Buonopane, NamePros)
Can honestly say I was nt expecting that at all. Thanks!
