Do you have old, unused domain names collected dust on some ethereal internet shelf? Well, it appears one internet user’s trash can become another’s treasure. It turns out it is quite the popular practice to sell domain names. Some entrepreneurs make their living by buying URLs they think will sell at a considerable profit. Why not try to regain some of what you paid for your now dormant domain.

There are actually numerous places you can sell iloveyellowjello.com. At godaddy.com you can sell your domain and buy a new one in the same transaction. At Snapnames.com you can auction off your neglected domain names as if it were eBay, wait, you can actually just use eBay itself!

Domain selling websites are also good for finding domain names to buy. Is your business name already taken but not being used? There is a good chance someone is trying to sell it. Do you need good ideas for a URL to build your new website on? Find one for sale, then buy it!

Even if you don’t have any spare domain names bouncing around the World Wide Web, it is a good idea to bookmark one of these sites. You may outgrow you current website, or maybe you will stumble upon a soon to be in-major-demand domain that has yet to be claimed.
