What is the best way to sell domain names?

    Howdy, I decided to get into the domain buying/selling business not too long ago. My goal is to earn $1000 in which I can buy a Jeep and get an off campus job. But obviously, things are not doing too great. So I have come to these forums, once again, for help.

    I own three domain names in which I wish to sell, pfiy.com, text-pad.com, and councilof7.com, all earn a considerable amount of traffic. I have used namepros and tried auctioning, selling at a set price, and even allow people to name a price, but none of that have worked thus far. I obviously cannot post my domains here as I have yet to be a member for 14 days and have 25 post.

    So my question is, what is the best, FREE, way to sell my domain names?

    Try sedo.com but i dont think your domains are easy to sell why not develop it into a site and then sell it

    try in sedo , afternic , dnf , inforum , namepros , dp domain section :)

    if you claim revenue from domains provide the screen shots of earning traffic etc. or else no body cares for your domains without proof in forums.

    normally you can expect 6 months revenue in reseller market

    For faster liquidity, it is better to sell on forums and on auction sites like Bido. But you're going to get much less money from it. If you don't have to sell the domain quickly, hold onto it and wait for an offer to come in from Sedo or Afternic.

    how can a domain have traffic and earning???
    I mean suppose I register a domain xyz.com on godaddy today thinking that this is a name that can be in demand. But if there is no site build for it, then how can it earn or have traffic???
    Its only a name that is but there is nothing that is of that name!!!

    Your domains don't really say much and the traffic might not be valuable either. If you're not getting value at one site than other sites with similar investors might give you the same cold shoulder.

    I am working on selling domains as well. They are adult, and get alot of organic hits from search engines. What is the best way to value the traffic?

    only if you're too much lucky then you will receive offer thorugh SEDO otherwise you won't be able to earn $XXXX by selling three domain name only. If it was a website with good traffic then it would have been different.
