  • Try Ebay.
    Its the world largest online marketplace....and if nothing else, a good place to start.
    When life throws you lemons...put them in a gin and tonic !!
  • I would suggest using the Sedo program. http://www.sedo.co.uk

    There are many, many sites and forums for the purpose of domain buying and selling, depedning on the domains, extensions, traffic etc.

    What is the domain?
    Regards

    I've bought and sold many domain names, and every time it's been through the buyer contacting the seller directly through the whois data or from a link on the website.
  • i may be mistaken but i remember reading somewhere that you have to be cautious how you go about 'selling' the domain...if you make it look like you bought it only to sell on (for a profit) then I think that this is not allowed...

    but cant rmmber where i read that so mayb wrong

  • casca / anyone,

    what is 'whois data'?

  • the domain is https://www.theteambusiness.com

    not likely to be worth much but its worth a try, there are hundreds of 'team building' companies out there :-)

    The WHOIS information is what is publicly stored about the ownership of the domain. There are lots of places to look it up. I like http://whois.geektools.com/whois.php, but type whois into google and you'll get a lot of options.

    Looking at your domain (which is theteambusiness.com, NOT https://www.theteambusiness.net), you probably own it but the email contact details are for Demon only. If I wanted to buy this domain, I'd have to email Demon and probably wouldn't bother as dealing with ISPs is usually a waste of time. You could ask them to put your email address up there, but this is an invitation for a LOT of spam, as this information is public.

    I'd say your best bet is to put up a simple, one-page website with just your contact information and hope for the best. But remember to obsfuscate your email address on your website (http://alicorna.com/obfuscator.html)

    yeah but sedo want £100 or 10% for the privilige from both seller and buyer - how do you know what a domain name is worth? Apart from what someone will pay for it that is?
