information Expert Exchange: Have You Ever "Sold" a Domain Name for Something Other Than Cash or Equity?

I remember a story of a famous domainer that once traded a domain for pork. If I'm correct, he's one of the guys above.

I was charged before Court for one of my ccTLD ( EU Country, famous chocolates

) and I have lost that domain but after that process I said to them, in the sign of good faith I will give you a same .com in exchange for a cake

I v got a big cake with famous Belgic chocolate and they got a .com domain same as ccTLD which I was already lost

Yes, plenty of times. In exchange for domains, I have gotten other domains, custom logo work, no traffic/revenue websites with some nice custom graphics that I liked, bitcoins.. the list goes on, but those are the ones I remember. Down the line, some of those exchanges turned out to be profitable, whereas others I haven't made use of and just let the domain drop.. but it's been fun every time, and I'll definitely keep trading.

I once did a deal for cash and three brand new compound bows. It was right before Christmas so two of them made great gifts...

We have done a few trades like that. One was a .COM name of a well known specialized economic/investment news publisher in Poland for about 10% cash plus 90% in advertising in the print editions of their weekly magazine. Great deal all around

I like the idea of donating to a charity.

I'd happily take goods for domains. I am married with 2 young kids. I have little free play money to buy things I actually want. I'd take firearms, ammo, vehicles, video poker machine, slot machine, gold, silver, other domains, maybe other things. I never have traded, though...just been cursed out on voicemail.

I like the deal of "a bottle of rare whiskey"

I was offered a stay at a lake house in exchange for a domain. I really thought about it, but elected to go with cash in the end.

I could have.

I sold a mower domain around 10 years ago to a company named Dixie Chopper, who had just came out with a propane powered, zero-turn mower. In my first few emails to them, I had mentioned the possibility of exchanging the domain for one of their mowers. The mowers sell for about $12k.

I had also quoted them $7500. So, their first offer back to me was to arrange to give me a new mower.

But, I ended up sticking to the $7500 quote, and took the cash. I didn't want the hassle of trying to sell the mower as well.

I know a domainer who got paid 2x by products/ services:

1- he requested to be paid 5% of the value when they will meet & the balance to be paid in instalments of 30$ for the school fees per term to an orphan who lost both parents to Aids & spend 1h / month with the kid. The deal was concluded and the gentleman continue to take care of the young man who is now in secondary school.

2- he requested to be paid 300kg of rice, 100 kg of beans n 50kg of powder milk to be delivered to an orphanage

In both cases it's in East- Central Africa.

I recall trading a domain I registered, contentwriter.org, to a women who was writing content for a site I was building at the time. This was around 10 years ago.

Kuffy · Feb 10, 2017

I want to start trading names for Bitcoin.

Back in 2005, 2006 or 2007... United Airlines sent letters on two separate occasions expressing their desire to acquire the domain name AlwaysHere.com in exchange for frequent flyer miles. The owner wasn't interested and therefore, never responded...
