I’m not sure if this is the correct community to post this in, but I have a couple of domain names I’ve owned for years but am not using and I’d like to try and sell them. What’s the best way to go about that?

    Are the domains properly registered to an active email address? If your domains were actually desirable, you probably would have gotten offers already.

    Edit: To be clear, you don’t actually “own” your domains; you’re just leasing them like an apartment. So all the money that you’ve put into them over the years is probably gone. And you’ll only get paid for a domain you’re squatting on if somebody else REALLY wants it.

      There was a promising basketball player at my high school. He ended up going on the that NBA. We found out before we graduated that someone was squatting on a domain of his name. Apparently, it wasn’t an uncommon practice.
