You could refine the search, if a search for e.g. coin would also show results containing *co.in. I am thinking of something like https://domai.nr/
Does this sound feasible?
Namebox - sell your unwanted or unused domains

Re: Namebox - sell your unwanted or unused domains
#42There are already very successful domain trading platforms around ( http://www.sedo.com ). I can't really figure out what namebox's unique value proposition is.
Profile Picture next to the domain name?

Why not just use escrow? https://www.escrow.com/services/domain-and-website-escrow.as...
It's "escrow.com", not "escrow". They try to do a funky thing with their logo to separate the escrow part of it from .com, but they aren't brash enough to leave off the suffix. If they did, I don't think it would fly. I searched for "escrow.com" reviews and found some negative ones. So there's one reason why someone might not use it. Another reason would be that as a general escrow service they may not understand the…
I have used escrow.com several times (to buy domains - I have never sold one, so I do not know the other side) - they understand domains very well. Very small fee and they only transfer the money when the domain is transferred. Highly recommend them.

#44Domain squatting made easy?
Yeah, that was my reaction as well. Why legitimize and enable domain squatting?
What about those of us that have domains in use but would be willing to part with for a certain amount? I have a game-server that resulted from some hacking network traffic of an old Wii game.
I still have that system up today, but if someone came along and offered me $1,000,000 dollars for the domain(dontrush.me) I'd give up that domain with no regrets and just buy some other one. I didn't buy it as part of some ingenious marketing strategy, I just thought it was kinda cute and was surprised it wasn't taken already - though this was like the first day .me TLD was made available when I got it.
Re: Namebox - sell your unwanted or unused domains
#45Few suggestions.
Make "Browse domains" more prominent, not just in the footer. Have domains under that somehow ranked. I'd suggest having price listed on click or on visit, so you can grab on that data. Remove "any amount" - that's psychology 101.
(plug & rant pending) I'm firmly believing synthmeat.com will some day be worth much - http://namebox.io/dsirijus - so I'm squatting. Why is there a negative sentiment about that? It's an investment, like any other.
Re: Namebox - sell your unwanted or unused domains
#46Seems pretty simple to use.
Since I have a couple unused domains I decided to list them here for any suitable amount - http://namebox.io/chaz
Re: Namebox - sell your unwanted or unused domains
#47Of everything listed (mine included), task.io is clearly one of the better domains posted. I don't doubt that everyone has a story behind their ideas, but this was one of the few with a clear purpose.

#48$24,999.00 for freepopemail.com? Somehow I can't see a business based around free mail from the Pope ever earning that much revenue.
free-pop-email.com in case you were being facetious.
still, at $25K??? I guess people reserve to price their own stuff, but it seems delusional to me.

>because, like me, they probably have tens of domains they don't plan on ever using. So, you mean, small-scale squatters are okay; large-scale squatters are not?
It's not squatting. Squatting is registering a domain for its own sake. Sometimes you register domains for projects and then those projects never get off the ground. I have a dozen domains (I defensively registered all the top TLDs) expiring in 4 days for just that reason.
Squatting is squatting is squatting. You may have registered with the intent to use it but now that you are not using it you think you deserve money for the ability to rent it?
Re: Namebox - sell your unwanted or unused domains
#50Million dollars for unwanted domain? This could work so much better if you could only ask below the registration price.
I liked it.
Or if the domain is N years old, the max price should be (N + 1) * registration price.
Also a simple DNS that I could point the domain to and it would serve a simple page stating the price and linking to namebox.io.
