Linda

There are many venues.

Moniker.com live auctions either at the TRAFFIC shows or at one of the many vertical industry auctions they run.

You can submit names to them at:

http://marketplacepro.moniker.com/auction/index.html

Sedo.com also sells domains on their auction platform as does Godaddy.com.

There is also afternic.com

Finally you can always sell on ebay.com

Is there any venue for selling short, dot com names which have not been developed? I have a large portfolio of names in several categories – lots of eco and green category names – which are just in cash parking. How can I get these names either to an end user or accepted into an auction?

Can’t we all just get along ? Yes, some folks are still learning that America is not the center of the globe and when in Rome…

Hello to my European counterparts. Sorry I missed the show.

All the best-

David

The point that goes in favor of an English term with a ccTld is that there is a bigger audience for English terms versus a local language.

A simple example is a dot se pr a dot tk. Even if it is a great generic term, it will definitely have a wider audience in English than in the local language.

Just a basic fact that English is spoken more thatn many other languages combined, even in the respective countries, especially online.

The poroblem with the auction is when in Europe if your selling a .se name its better to have it in own launguage. why buy a name with english word for a diffrent country it makes no sence at all.

Maybe its better to leave the European auctions to europeans instead having a american company trying to domanate european name space

Empedocles

The problem I’m sure is that moniker is US based.

All the employees are US based.

They do not to my knowledge have any presence outside the US.

Therefore it would be hard if not impossible to have the feel you need when you target markets outside of those you live and work in.

Maybe they should have hired someone in Europe who had a better feel for the language and customs to select the list.
