make money buying domain names, domain name auctions You can make money buying domain names, especially if you plan to use them to put up a site for a product or service that you sell. You can buy them at domain name auctions, sometimes very reasonably. If you have a lot of domain names yourself, put them up for auction using one of the big domain seller auction houses. It's virtually effortless to do this, and you might be able to sell your domain names for profit. Considering how little it costs to register a domain name, you could make money buying domain names and later reselling them. It may take a year or two, but with the right luck and marketing, you might be lucky, and sell that domain for thousands, compared to the $10 or less it took to register them. If you buy a domain name from someone else, make sure that you don't overpay. There are real life domain name appraisers, so if you are buying a domain name over $500, consider paying for an appraisal, unless it's a slam dunk.
