Domain name trading?
 

Is there an appropriate way to buy/sell domains?
I wish to buy a domain name I have in mind that I've checked and it isn't taken.
Then I wish to resell that domain name for more hopefully.. Also I looked on godaddy.com and noticed this CashParking..

What is CashParking?

check out greatdomains.com and sedo.com for domain auctions... also i've had good luck on ebay picking up some for $9 that I flipped for 5k+ ;-)

hopefully a domain guru like slavdogg will post more useful information for everyone here

Parking is a good way to help determine domain value.

Checkout these guys for domain parking:

I appricate the fast feedback, however I'm also looking for a how to, or instructions if you will. Like can I just buy the domain name, then take it to someone who "parks" the domain, (btw how much does "parking" make per month?), or do I just put it on godaddy.com's domain auctions?

ya know, i found a guy the other day following a different business model where he contacts the domain owners listed on sedo.com (free parking and acutions btw) asks for a quote to buy the domain. Then asks if you had it appraised and to show him the cert. When u show him the cert he says he'd like 15% commission, and he asks permission to act as an agent in this domain broker....

Thats alil over my head there. But from what I understand, I buy the domain name from say www.netfirms.com. Then if I want to park it, I look into parking it with a company. Otherwise I can register with godaddy and put it on the auction.. the broker seems good and all but 15% commission is kinda alot, and I don't want to have to pay for a appraisal if thats at all possible.

greatdomains
godaddy aftermarket ...etc etc

I would buy some lube first, if you don't know what you are doing, you will most likely get fucked...

The whole point of me asking these questions is to prevent me from fucking up.

first of all see sig for cheap domain pricing! Then check out domainpal.com if you would like to try your names b4 you buy your names :thumbsup
