Buying and Selling domain names

The suffix is the most important factor. .COM, .NET, and .ORG are by far the most popular. Other alternative domains like .WS, .TV, .FM, are becoming more and more popular because they are wide open. For example where you couldn't get DW.com you can still get DW.ws (well maybe not anymore). For now, I would stick with .COM because they will be the easiest to sell.

Would a webmaster or business want it? Ask yourself that question and if you can't instantly say "Yes!" than don't buy it. Also the more generic the domain name the better. And remember it is illegal to register a business name or trademark that you do not own. This is called "cyber-squatting" and tough laws are now in place to protect against this.

The shorter the name the better. These are the most memorable and easiest to market. At the time of writing this, there are only about a thousand three character domain names left.

Do some research on Ebay.com or Afternic.com (popular domain auctions) and see what names are selling and for how much. Below are what some domains recently auctioned for or have current bids at Afternic.com:

There is a myth circulating cyberspace that all the good domains are taken already. And although it is true that thousands of new domain names are registered everyday, there are still good names to found.

The best way to find great domains is to subscribe to expired domain lists. These are compiled lists of the thousands of repossessed domain names that have been put back into the domain pool every day. They are available again for anyone to register and contain some really great names; recently race.com appeared in one and was snatched up by a lucky subscriber. As a subscriber you will get first pick at registering these names. There are two such lists that we know of :
Unclaimed Domains - http://join.at/unclaimed
DNSIndex Expired Domains - http://join.at/DNSIndex

These lists are literally worth thousands of dollars. To get the lists all you have to do is subscribe, which is easy and cheap. Then each week you will receive a fresh list of expired domains in your email inbox. You may also purchase a custom keyword search in the recently expired domain name pool from DNS research - http://buy.at/DNSResearch .

We provide full service domain name brokerage services that can help you sell your domain name or buy the domain name you want or by utilizing our comprehensive aftermarket domain services. Our brokerage can help you find domains that meet your needs or buyers that are looking to purchase your domain name.

If you have a good domain name, and your price is right it won't be long before a buyer bids or contacts you.

Many new domain sellers make the mistake of trying to sell every domain name for thousands of dollars. When, in fact, you will do much better selling more domains for a few hundred dollars.

This way you will have a much higher turn around rate. Remember you are registering the names for less than $100 and if you sell one for even $200 that is still a huge 100% profit.
