This thread resparked my interest in building a free place to sell and buy domains. I used to frequent Sitepoint's domain marketplace to sell some of my domains or find some good deals, but I hate paying 10 bucks just to list.
I'll be rolling out Version 0.1 tomorrow, and you'll be able to put all of your domains up for free. If you want me to email you with the link when it's live, please email me at:

The important point is that its not just a charity to whomever wants them, because there are many sleezy people who will just scoop them up. There needs to be some community element, and the person giving them away should know that either the person taking the name has also given away names, or is planning to put the domain to good use.
So I am coding this now in RoR. I think you're right, there needs to be some sort of karma/credit system to keep the sleazeball squatters away and out of the community. It also needs to accomodate all types of users (selling for cash, trading, and giving away free). Hmmm...
There is already a free domain swap marketplace and looks pretty good http://www.zuho.com/. Another one wouldn't hurt.
I own buzztricks.com; whatilooklike.com; alterpay.com; legitmp3s.com and peerquit.com.
I thought it said queerpit at first glance...lol
People always think I'm saying "virtualmen.com"...Quite different, but possibly also valid, business model.

Hm, sure that isn't worth a lot of money? I have no experience with domain trading, but that name sounds fairly good. Not sure how the minds of religious people work, though.
The domains that are actually worth money are the ones that generate residual type in traffic. godspeaksto.us could be good for branding some type of religious site that believed itself to be divinely inspired but I doubt many people are buying domains like this to start Web 2.0 religions.
This is the most amazing place to get domain names
http://www.tdnam.com.
Some of the recent ones I have registered using tdnam are ShareCircle.com, RealtyGoLive.com, SharedList.com, SoftwareOutpost.com, UserLinks.com, and AskShare.com. All of them cost $10+$8 to register. People who say good domains are gone are not totally correct.

Thanks, that looks nice.
Of course I just had several names expire before I thought to do this, but I'm willing to part with:
dealray.com mobophile.com mobozen.com
I'm not looking for money, but I will ask that you actually plan on using the domain for something cool somewhat soon. The transfer of a domain off 1and1 is a mild pita after all.
