Ask HN: How do you sell a domain?

One strategy can be to find a buyer through a domain broker like sedo and see what they offer (so that you have a benchmark for how much someone else is willing to pay). You can probably ask them for 2x as much money for it and they can do it. I believe you would have to pitch their marketing department in order for them to purchase it, so find the person through LinkedIn.

Also, be very sensitive to the trademark issue, sometimes big companies can go after you for having a domain with their name and might to pursue you to sell it to them for very cheap as it could be viewed as trademark infringement since you simply own a domain.

Hello there,

I would also create a landing page for that domain name mentioning that it is for sale. You could then redirect them to your sedo listing or you could place a simple contact form for them to contact you.

Good luck!

Do you mean; for instance, they have a .co.uk and you have the .eu/.com?

Sedo is good. I bought http://ronnie.me through sedo.

I'll probably list http://south.by there.

hit me up with the domain name. E-mail in profile.
