question Own website for selling domains - Does it make sense

[mobilespecialists]

Hi folks. I need some professional opinion.
I own the website at 1-single-letter-domains.com and it established to a number 1 place in the niche on 1-character short domains (by Google search it appears in the first positions).

The simple website currently offers:
- selling domains at general TLD price or individual domain price
- buying with PayPal without additional registrations (just filling form data)
- simple form data check - f.e. double writing email etc.

- making offers
- renting domains
- registration of domains with live-check of availability
- landing pages with big image and individualized content, f.e. Wikipedia text

Some clients asked me if I could not build a similar website for them. But I'm interested if there is really need for such a website or it are just single requests. Since there is stil a little work to do - I have no management tool behind since I can do much stuff by PHP - I would like to know if it makes sense to offer such a website.

And maybe what would be possible reasonable prices people would be willing to pay.

seems nobody needs a website for selling domains or there are established solutions

Without a back-end demo and full feature list, it is hard to say anything...

People that do own domains seem to largely do a little dev work themselves and with cms today it is easier than coding a site from scratch.
However to answer the question on behalf of everyone is not my place. I can tell you it makes sense for people with some kind of portfolio to have them on more than one site.
Back end is important for non php devs as regular updates would be needed.

However if you know php then I may be able to throw some work your way in the future as drupal allows the use of php.

Hope that helps.
