This thread resparked my interest in building a free place to sell and buy domains. I used to frequent Sitepoint's domain marketplace to sell some of my domains or find some good deals, but I hate paying 10 bucks just to list.

I'll be rolling out Version 0.1 tomorrow, and you'll be able to put all of your domains up for free. If you want me to email you with the link when it's live, please email me at:

The important point is that its not just a charity to whomever wants them, because there are many sleezy people who will just scoop them up. There needs to be some community element, and the person giving them away should know that either the person taking the name has also given away names, or is planning to put the domain to good use.

So I am coding this now in RoR. I think you're right, there needs to be some sort of karma/credit system to keep the sleazeball squatters away and out of the community. It also needs to accomodate all types of users (selling for cash, trading, and giving away free). Hmmm...

There is already a free domain swap marketplace and looks pretty good http://www.zuho.com/. Another one wouldn't hurt.
