Get familiar with the software. Spend time making sample images, banners, and logos.
Write a catchy auction ad! Be sure to include possible uses for the domain name. I’ve found this to increase the bids by up to 200%!
Post the domain sale on relevant message boards or discussion lists. Notice that I said “relevant”. Do NOT spam your ad, or you’ll find yourself unwelcome when returning. Read up on “ad posting days”, or dig around to find a forum where it’s okay to post your sale. You can also post a short blurb about your domain for sale in your “Signature File” and post useful messages. (Useful!)
Remember that it’s almost pure profit, so don’t be afraid to start your bid price low (if you’re auctioning off your domain). You can get a GoDaddy domain for $9.20 (or even lower; check my domain page for the newest coupons I’ve found). Starting your auction at $14.00 won’t break you, and chances are (as long as you found yourself a pretty good domain name), a few bidders will raise that price pretty quickly.
If you’re outright “selling” your domain name, pick a fair price.
