I have a .com name that I have been paying for, but have not used in years. With the changes in the whole system, I have been considering selling it - but I don’t know how that’s done. Anyone have sites, info, advice?

Yeah, what is the name? If it is [sdfjlk.com](http://sdfjlk.com) good luck! If it is [sassy.com](http://sassy.com), you might have something. If it has any sexy connotation they are running low and getting desperate.
EBay probably is your best bet.

Ebay is a laugh riot when it comes to selling names. Visit Ebay, for the search be sure to select ‘show highest prices first’. You got people asking $10M opening bids for names. lol.
[register.com](http://register.com)[network-solutions.com](http://network-solutions.com), the big internet registration folks probabaly have something for ya in this area.
