Where to sell?

[ekheyfets3]

I have a 5 domain set: Howtodostuff.org howtodostuff.info globalwarmingrisk.com globalwarmingrisk.org and addictchat.net. Should I auction it off on this site where I dont have anything under my belt or on ebay where I have good feedbacks. Thanks..

Sidenote - Can I put my domains on ebay and advertise them here?

Neither!
Domainers are cheapskates, we have to be.
Top domainers sell about 5% of their names every year (they are patient).
To keep the rest of their names (and still make profits), they have buy very low and sell very high.
It's the only way to stay profitable in the long term.

Ebay is a hangout for bargain hunters.
You will get low prices, even for pretty good names.

You might want to look into SEDO, Afternic, Godaddy auctions, and the endless other domain auctions and marketplaces that are out there.

Good post and reply. Appreciate the information Iconic. I am experimenting at the moment and selling domain names at bargain prices via auction, but this is clearly not a market for fast paced sales or impatient sellers. I think the fact that their are endless auctions out there makes it hard for sellers to sell domains, unless they are very brandable, very keyword and very much on demand.

From what I have seen ebay is too big of a place to market domain names. Unfortunatlely for alot of new sellers like you and I, it takes time to build up a reputation on trader reviews etc, depsite having well established sales records with ebay etc.

You can sell your domain at ebay, since there are lots of domains sold in ebay, so just check there...

Some names go for good prices on Ebay ( like LLLLs ).
I would list yours in the " free areas " for now aka Godaddy, Afternic, Sedo while trying to reach potential buyers / end users by email.
Good Luck

You should put your domains at sedo and go daddy auctions.
If you put your domains at more site then chances will increase to sell domains.

Time spent listing domains that have a low chance of selling or which can only sell for low amounts is time misspent.

Of the 5 you mention, only AddictChat.net is worth spending any time on, in my opinion. Forget the others exist. Spend the time you would have spent on them studying how to identify better domains. Trust me, you'll earn more money that way.
