These spreadsheets are always vandalized, abandoned and then forgotten. Usually they go through that entire cycle within a single day. If you are serious about it then find a better platform, or whip one up in django/rails.

Indeed - I see that ycombinator.com is up for trade on that spreadsheet. You might want to send a confirmation to the legitimate contact email address obtained through whois before accepting exchange propositions. P.S. domainnameexchange.com seems to be available

  > I see that ycombinator.com is up for trade on that spreadsheet I'll take it! ;) I really like the idea of a pure domain exchange - no transfer of money, just a straight domain swap service. No obvious business model in it though.

    For a business model, you might find an advertiser or two wanting the eyeballs of people looking for domains.

      Another good way to monetize would be to analyze for common typos around the domain names being traded, and then offer those domains for sale via affiliate links to registrars.

It didn't take long for people to start offering for sale domains, heh, I guess that's just as bad as vandalism. I wonder if this could work as a dedicated website, I wonder what the overhead associated with functioning as an escrow for trading domains would be, I can imagine it could face some legal troubles when it goes wrong for someone. Hmmm...

  Hi, I am also interested in karmawhores.net, I liked the website and would like to see it back up again (it would be awesome if you still have the db + source too). If edash doesn't want it, you can mail me @ soult@trid.inbox5.com.
