Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? • Hacker News Board

I know what you mean. I have dozens and dozens of these names, all really good names that I like for startup or related projects. I dont want to give them up becuase, like you, I HATE trying to find new names. I also hate domain squatters, so they arent filled with BS Ad's either, just a brief message saying "this was for a project I was or will be working on... if you are interested, let me know. My list is too long…

I have to ask what thegreatmustachechallenge was.

Funny you should start this post because I have been on a mission to try to raise some cash for these domains just the last couple days: ListLocal.com CheapSwap.com WildOnCampus.com SaleMetrics.com

interested in salemetrics and listlocal.com.

hogornot.com

Why are you sitting on that? That website would take about 15 hours to build and will most likely earn you more than a few bucks for doing nothing.

isolobal.com manwench.com odvious.com twickster.com I had ideas for all, just hit me up if you want to hear any of it :)

I'd be scared to hear your idea for manwench.com

internetcultureawesome.com This was intended to be a place where I could share things that are awesome on the internet that my less technical people could follow. But I never got around to doing anything with it, and it's been 8 months now.

jsvampires.com Its cousin, jsvampire.com (without the s), is a domain I use as a test site for a few things, but not sure why I bothered to register the plural.

foos-hack.com (currently just a placeholder, never had any great ideas for this one.)

authentipede.com

buyitwhen.com I've had this idea that when you see things you don't want to pay new price for, you can look them up, enter the price you'd prefer to pay, and get a notification when a merchant hits that price point - best for technology and gadgets where the price tends to fall over a predictable curve. But I've been too lazy to build it out. I'm reconsidering after seeing the other day it gets 400 monthly uniques ju…

You should build that out! I've set up scrapers for my wife to help her stalk sweaters and shoes. she loves that, and i'm guessing there are a lot like her out there who'd use the service.
