Advice on selling a domain name?

Hi Folks,
I'm the owner of a domain name that I think might net me a nice tidy sum of money if I were to sell it.
I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with some advice on how to best do this.
Should I offer it for sale directly to the company concerned or put it up for auction somewhere?

  • If the company already have a well established website, they probably won't be interested in buying a similar domain. the days of panic buying every website that came close to yours are well and truly over. By the same token, if they don't have a website, then they probably won't need/want one.
    You could have a look at some of the domain name auction sites, but TBH I've seen some pretty good names sitting there without takers. You could of course get lucky. I would approach the company in question first, and if they're not interested, then consider the auction.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.
