I think the days of cyber-squatting have since been and gone.
The domain is only worth what some is prepared to pay, and not what you
decide is a fair price.

People will rarely pay more than a few times above what a new domain
would cost from a registrar!

Actually charles, I did read richards post...

It's a little like saying
'please tell me how to boil an egg'

You can wrap it up in as many ribbons as you like, but the answer is
still the same.

I realise richard this is prolly not the answer you were looking for, but
hey, I answered you question in saying 'people will generally not pay
more than 2 or 3 times more than it would take to buy new from a
registrar'

I'll add to that:- 'UNLESS, you have an extraordinarily good domain
name'

But yet again, adding to the above... the domain name is only as good as
the buyer thinks it is.

Sorry to be vague.

IMNSHO

Forget the UK names for any real value.

samsearch.com is the best, relatively speaking.

UK-wise UKantiques.co.uk is the best. A few hundred pounds to the right
buyer?

Thats cool, has anyone here ever sold a domain name, if so examples of name
and price would be very helpful
I do think there is money to be made from domains but they do need to be
sensibly priced.
I have considered buying registered domains and soon everything will be
registered.
With that in mind, the value must go up if you are prepared to hold onto
them forever.
What do you think?

I think you'll have a hefty payment to make each time renewal comes
round!!

Piss off!

Actually, one of mine made the news:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/09/06/internet.domains/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/09/06/internet.domains/index.html</a>

However, if you use that as a basis, you may get a false impression!

I think this conversation sounds four years old!

I agree to some extent, if you can be bothered with the transfers etc,
you may make some money.

I refused quite a few offers on names because I felt they were too low,
but on paper were a profit.

on domain name sales
