I have tried to sell domain names here, but I haven't had much success. I sold CryptoBounty.com through the Name Silo market place for example, and I have tried selling names like BitcoinScammer.com, and BitcoinVirus.com without gaining any interest. It requires a great deal of effort to gain any exposure on the digital boards, and I decided it isn't worth it.

I investigated a number of threads that people had posted domains for sale, and of a dozen or so only one poster/thread had actually sold any names, but it was also the only person who had listed any halfway decent/valuable domains for sale, judging from the ones I did look at. Others were domains it was obvious no one would want. (not saying that about yours btw)

I have suggested that a board for the sale of digital assets such as domain names would be of benefit to members, but I haven't managed to find any support for this. My current feeling is that it is better to advertise your names for sale in your signature. If you are serious about selling names, you should have a site for listing the names, and for communications, and I use the domain Baronets for this. When posting the link, you should follow the forum guidelines, and avoid spamming, or the use of the URL out of context.

I agree a separate board for domains and similar digital assets would be great. So far I observe from this forum that there are relatively few dedicated subforums given the overall size and scope of the forum as a whole. Things seem to be more lumped together here. For example, there's a dedicated subforum for altcons but no subforums within it for say, major alts like ethereum, litecoin, etc.

Escrow is a difficult problem, and you need to avoid generating a transfer lock in the process. I use the Name Silo market place for this. It allows for payment in a wide variety of currencies and methods, and includes Bitcoin. Transfer via a registrar push means that you may have some recourse to recover the name in the event of a payment default.

Thanks, I know of NameSilo but wasn't aware they accept bitcoin. I've sold hundreds of domains over 10+ years and have used most of the marketplaces and escrow services out there. To be frank, if the only option to sell a domain here is to use an internal escrow account, I'm far less likely to consider it, than to use a trusted third-party escrow service, especially since as it is explained in the thread @Frengki_cisco linked to above, there are even scammers here pretending to be escrow accounts, or buying old accounts that were used for escrow, and probably many other tricks that I might fail to consider. Especially if we are talking four and five figure (usd) transactions. One needs to minimize risk in such cases and be very diligent. For that matter if someone wanted to buy a domain from me and refused to do the transaction using a trusted outside escrow agency or marketplace, that might even arouse my suspicion.
