What's that cost? They can't put their jobs on the line when people call then incompetent for selling far under value so they need to put the responsibily in the hands of a professional.

Then they would have to offer this "domain consulting" job on a bidding basis because it's a government contract. They would then have to hire a human resource advertising company to put the job up for bid.

Then they would need to file new tax forms since that have now made a profit on a sale when they are otherwise never engaged in sales and have a non-profit status.

Then they have to fight the city and or state because that actually sold government property and therefore cannot decide soley on their own that the money should go to a particular project. Maybe a bridge needs fixing too, ya know.


It's more complicated than you think and you have no idea of what the domain will actually sell for.

Everybody thinks their domain is worth millions, but that don't make it so.
