In order to sell your newly appraised name, you have to find a buyer. Here are your basic options for selling your domain name in a nutshell:

1. Sell it on Ebay

This is repparttar 118701 easiest and quickest way to sell your domain name. There are several tricks to landing a good sale at Ebay. One is, start your price low. People want a bargain. Once you have received an initial bid, it will draw peoples attention to your name and create more bids. You may want to set a reserve price if you want to make sure you get X amount of dollars. When selling your domain on Ebay, make sure your domain name is in repparttar 118702 title of repparttar 118703 description. Also, include an appraisal to show to possible buyers repparttar 118704 value of repparttar 118705 domain. Keep your description short, clean, and really emphasize how important and rare your domain is.

If it ends in "E" it could stand for "Enterprise". A little bit of marketing saavy can go a long way. I once sold repparttar 118706 domain 0pp.com for over $200. It even has a number in it making it worth very little. But I emphasize its possible uses and potential. Also, spend repparttar 118707 extra $1 for repparttar 118708 Bold Listing and make sure your auction ends on a Sunday afternoon or evening. This is when most people are browsing Ebay. It will make a big difference.
