    Recommendations for selling a domain name

    I have an old domain name that I no longer use and wonder if it's worth selling (versus let expire). What site(s) do people use to sell domain names and is it genuinely worthwhile?

    thx in advance for any suggestions...

    I've used Flippa for complete websites but this site hasn't been updated in 3 years. The name may be the only thing worth salvaging which is why I'm asking about domain names (vs website).

    sedo.com or afternic.com - I've had a little better luck on sedo, but they're virtually the same thing. I would also head over to the dnforum.com & namepros.com board. Those boards are pretty much dedicated to people buying and selling domain names.
    I would post your domain name there to see if you have any interest, and perhaps you can do a direct sale and save on the commission that sedo and afternic charge.

    Sedo is good but you should get better rates on Flippa. You don't need to sell your website as well as your domain, many people just sell their domains on Flippa. You could also try GoDaddy auctions.
