Clearly, these sellers are domain name speculators - buying up domains at low prices in hopes of reselling them for inflated ones. But does this mean there is no market for domain names at online auctions? Not at al. There are some legitimate and reasonable sales:

* CDZ.com and CDZ.org. received 23 bids for a total of $2,026, although seller was not content with this price and wanted more money.

* Radiolite.com Ahnu.com sold for $53.02.

* 888Cars.com, along with 8 other names sold for $51.

Most of domain name sales on eBay did not complete because sellers didn't receive price they expected.

Selling a domain name at an auction online is not an especially strong area. There were only three pages of listings at this time, and almost none of them sold. The 'get-rich-quick selling domain names' plan is definitely a flop on eBay. Sellers would do well to concentrate on other areas.

This is truly an interesting business model for eBay sellers. One of my students got his dealer's license and bought cars at local auctions here in Atlanta which he and his wife then resold - very profitably - on eBay. Anything seller can do to reassure buyers about quality will increase car sales, as Lexus seller knows well. " I take additional step, that you will see very few dealers do, of having an oil analysis done through a company here called MOTORCHECK on engine, which will show up any unusual wear, and tell me condition of internal parts of engine, including bearing wear, piston wear, cylinder wear, ring wear and tests for coolant leaks which could be caused by blown head gaskets, cracked heads etc."

eBay cars are great sellers, and anyone considering them as an eBay 'career' will do well, providing (s)he is able to offer high quality cars and below-showroom dealer prices.
