How to sell domain name?
I'm looking to sell a domain that I've had for quite awhile. I used LeapFish.com to get an estimate of the value, but have no clue the validity of that.
What are some good statistics to include when trying to sell domains? For that matter, where is a good place to go to sell the domain?

Traffic (type ins mostly), revenue (if any), how old it is, and that's about it.
The forbidden zone, Digital Point, http://www.dnforum.com/, and http://namepros.com. Oh yeah, http://tidget.com
Some people put their domains on afternic and sedo, but I don't think they are as popular as the four above.

You can list the domain for sale at Sedo or Afternic or domain name forums like DNforum and Namepros are also very good places to sell a domain.

The best way to sell a domain is via some marketplace forums where there are a lot of domain buyers.
http://www.dnforum.com
http://www.namepros.com
These two would be the first places where I would go to.
If you don't have DNForum membership and would like me to list it for you, do let me know.
Good luck.

One good place to sell your domain is tdnam.com, presented by GoDaddy. I haven't used it, but from what I've heard, and the great service GoDaddy provides, it should be useful.

To answer your first question, your appraisal from LeapFish.com is worthless. So are all other free domain appraisal services and in fact the majority of paid services.
You have to ask your self the following:
Is the name recognizable?
Is the name a single word or multiple words?
What percentage of the population does the domain apply to?
Are there any numbers in the name?
Are there any hyphens in the domain?
Are there any abbreviations in the domain?
Is this domain a top level name?
All of these things will effect the selling price.
When you have answered these questions go to DNforum or Namepros etc. and see what similar domains are getting.
Quality. Reliablility.

Interesting, as LeapFish.com listed all those questions as factors in their estimate.
Thanks for all the help, everyone. I haven't sold the domain yet, but will let you know the method I end up using.

timjpriebe: I've sold a few at Afternic. The forums like dnforum and namepros are mostly
resellers. You might sell it there, but not likely at retail.
Here's a tip that has worked for me (not sure if it applies in your case): if it's a seven letter domain, find out if there's a toll free number using the same letters. If so, it's a nice selling tool.
