Just like my kitchen cupboards were full of old old food just sitting there in case I ever felt like eating it (let me reassure you: cereals and pulses and things that “last”), my registrar account is full of domain names that I used in the past and feel like I should keep “just in case”, or cool ones that I got at some point thinking I’d make something of them but never did.

It’s time for a garage sale (or gifting). If you’re interested (or somebody you know) in one of these before I let them go and risk seeing them fall into the hands of pornsters and spammers and scammers, let me know: edublogs.net, going-solo.net, going-far.com, coworking-leman.net, coworking-romand.ch, freshlimesoda.net, backupawareness.org, swissblogs.org/net/com.

And if you know of “marketplaces” where you can put domains up for “sale”, let me know too. Given the predatory market it seems to be, I’m wary.
