Anyone have recommendations for a nice and easy, "no BS" site for selling a domain? Or even some "we'll (try to) sell it for you and take a commission" type of place? I've got one domain that I think I could actually sell for a decent price, but I just really don't wanna deal with it...

Dan.com is amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. Quick signup, modern interface, and a nice looking sale page that handles everything, including analytics. You can offer buy it now, auction, or installments or a combination of those.

check out dnjournal.com it tracks big domain name sales (the price AND the broker)

Is it possible to add a column with the Page Rank or Domain Authority of the particular domain?

You know I briefly looked in to it because I'm not dumb I understand it'd make this unstoppable, but there's very few options with very high prices. You never know with what the future holds but yeah, not cheap. Definitely doable though. The good thing about 'our' filtering is that it would take down the number of daily requests to their API, but still...a. lot. I wouldn't say it's out of the question even remotely,…

That strikes me as a good option for a future "professional" tier of the website.

You know, someone needs to make an Iron Chef styled reality TV show where teams of web developers are each handed a random recently-expired domain name and challenged to make a viable service that fits that domain.

You joke, but I know people who hunt to acquire domain names first, and then come up with business ideas based on them. Putting it bluntly, I feel that this is an astoundingly misguided way to operate business ventures, and, so far, the market seems to agree.

You could just pull number of google results as a proxy. You have the link to the google search now, being able to sort or filter by that would weed out a lot of junk.

Would also be nice to sort/filter by Wayback hits.
