I've never sold a domain before, so I'd like a little guidance when it comes to doing so...

I have a PR3 domain which is doing diddlysquat since my plans for it ended up failing. That being said, I'd like to sell it and get some money that I can invest into my other sites.

Questions:

1. I registered it with Namecheap, so should I sell it through their marketplace, or am I able to use GoDaddy auctions (and is this preferred)?

2. What's the average price a PR3 goes for?

3. There doesn't seem to be any way for me to convey "hey I'm charging this much because this site has PR" - I'm assuming potential buyers will figure that out themselves?

Sorry if these questions are retarded; I just wanna do this right. Thanks in advance.
 


1. u can justo n their marketplace u cant on GD. its not too corwded.
2. dependign on man yfactors can go from 20 to even 150 or more.
3. u can write theres PR cant hurt but yes people check that

Okay, I thought the price might vary. Would you (or anyone) mind listing some of the factors that determine price?
 
The price will depend on other factors like: is it a .com, .org, net, etc., how good is the backlink profile? are there 2 crappy links from profiles or aged links pointing from authority sites like cnn.com, .edu., .gov, etc. What is the age of the domain and has it ever been dropped? Is it an exact match domain in a high CPC category?

You can pick up crappy PR3's all day long for $20-$30

Alright, cool. Well I hope my site isn't one of those. It's a .com. It has a really nice and diverse link profile (I think). Only thing it's not is an EMD with a high CPC... I guess I'll just kinda have to wing it or something since I'm guessing it's hard to put a real definite price on something like this.
 
There a lots of place on line, you can put you adv. on forums or discussion board, after all why you didn't try with flippa??
 
why dont you just sell blogroll links , per month for $5 get 10 links up thats $50 and $600 per year.
 
hello

How much should cost a domain with compete rank of 566k, valid pr 3 and 1000+ strong backlinks?

I want to sell a domain with the characteristics above, many backlinks are also pr4. The compete rank is 566k so I would like somebody to advice me on how much i should ask for it. The domain never dropped and it is 3 years old. thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone, I'm new to Wicked, but not internet marketing. I have profiles on the other major aff. mktg forums, but figured I needed to get in on this wickedfire action. Anyways, about buying/selling high PR domains-

What software do you use to analyze the link profiles when deciding on buying one? Scrapebox, MarketSamurai or what? Apart from link profiles, my huge concern is hijacked PR. We all know that toolbar page rank can be hijacked but I am still trying to find a way to fail-safe myself from acquiring such a nightmare.

I'm thinking of buying several higher PR domains, blogging them and selling blogroll links on them as well as use them to direct varied juice to my other sites. Any experience with this?
 
@afman

1. First, run it through a "info: (domainname)" check to make sure it's not a redirect
2. Run it through a "site: (domainname)" check, helpful to see old content still indexed
3. Run it through Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) to see what USE to be on the site
4. Personally I'm super paranoid about scammers, because there are a lot of them operating in the "aged domain" arena for some funny reason, so I run backlink analysis through ahrefs, OSE AND Majestic. You might say 3 services is overkill, but when you are spending a few hundred a pop, it can be a costly mistake not seeing the pattern of links (or lack of for that matter).
5. Run through a domain whois - helps check for dropped domain (if it's dropped it'll most likely loose PR in the next update) plus handy to see when it was registered.
6. Finally you could always try using a "commercial" rank checker to double check the fake/not fake PR thingy, although generally the info:domainname check is sufficient to catch most fake ones - the other way is obviously in looking at the link profile....those never lie!

Good luck.

Selling a domain name is not an easy undertaking. Another party must want the name. The more appealing or catchy the domain name, the higher the chances of someone else wanting to purchase it from you. PayPal facilitates the payment between two parties and is particularly great for selling goods and services online. If you already have a domain name then you need to inform potential buyers of its availability. Through PayPal's partnership with eBay, you can sell the domain via an online auction and receive payment through your PayPal account.
 
In the trade menu you should see a number on the far right for goods you have onboard and that number is how much you paid for them, this will for sure let you compare vs what the town is offering to buy them for to see if you're going to make a profit.
