Can I buy existing .au webnames from their current owners?

You cannot buy or sell .au webnames. The policies that govern the .au namespace are determined by auDA, the .au Domain Administration. For more information on the current webname policies, please go to www.auda.org.au/policy/.

* it will not be allowable to register a domain name for the sole purpose of resale or transfer to a third party
* registrants will not be able to transfer their domain name for the first 6 months after the initial registration (this does not apply to domain names that have been renewed or previously transferred)
* after 6 months, registrants will be able to offer their domain name for sale/transfer by any means (eg. by listing the domain name for sale on a domain brokerage website, advertising the domain name for sale in a newspaper, or contacting a prospective buyer directly)
* registrant transfers will be processed by the registrar of record using a standard transfer form, and the registrar may charge a transfer fee

Too much hassles/red tape to make this an extention with good resale value.
