Though don't be surprised if you lose a lot of goodwill if you offer a low introductory price, and then maximally gouge at the moment that the customer is trapped. When domain names are a tiny portion of your revenue, they're probably not worth getting a reputation as a predatory vendor over.

There isn't much of a market for people buying from Google, either. Its not likely Google looses much by letting inventory go unrented.
