Find a good domain name is getting harder and harder. I found out a thread in HN from 3 years ago and I think is relevant and could be useful to a lot of people, myself included.
I've mentioned some of these before, but then decided I didn't want to part with some of them for "maybe one day projects." Not anymore; I'm just ready to be rid of them honestly. I'll take $100 for any of them (buy them all for $400 ;)). That won't really even cover the reg fees for as long as I've had them, but it'll recover a bit of the investment at least.
Just e-mail me (HN username at GMail) and we'll do it. :)
Two off the top of my head that I keep meaning to get something set up for, but never quite get around to:
Inventoryscreen.com - can't quite remember what this was supposed to be for, but considered doing tshirts from this.
Omgwtf.asia - my housemate and I are oldschool anime fans, this was supposed (and should still be) a quirky East Asian culture blog
If anyone actually has a business plan suitable for the above, get in touch :)
ycaffeinator.com - Coffee for Startups. Bought this just before the YC W2013, but didn't get funded (for a different idea, obviously)... Forgot to even mention it during or after the interview!
foobarnation.com - planned to be an ecommerce for geek apparels. a nation of foo bars, innit?
loladoku.com - wanted to build something like mint.com.
bangbingbong.com - supposedly like twitter, but more anonymous.
joompa.me - social networking. i'm planning to repurpose this domain for my dating website.
achievery.com - haven't thought for the idea. bought it because it sounds cool.
animalystique.com - planned for a chinese horoscope app, but apparently the name is too long. i let this expire. mentioned here in case somebody find the name interesting.
obviously none of them manifests, otherwise i wouldn't put them here.
I'm sure I'm not the only one insanely reserving those on a whim for projects that never materialize. Some of them would actually make great company names I think, but alas...

evlix.com

plotspot.net
fusync.com
donatetime.net
vergis.net
I'll give any of them to HN users with 500 karma or more for 30,00 € via Paypal.
bookcrime.com - Was going to be a place where students could cut out the middle man and sell textbooks to each other (sub-domains for specific campuses for face to face transactions), lost interest in that, but I still really like the domain name.
getelected.org - Idea is for a wiki-style resource for regular people to get involved/elected in their local governments.

I had to let a few others expire that I lost interest in. At least one of them has been picked up by an established non-profit that redirects to their main site.
3secondimpression.com -- a mix between match.com and monster.com
bidafk.com -- an online bid sniper tool
oneclickcloser.com -- no idea, but a cool domain name.
pennyfight.com(.net,.org) -- A penny auction website
scratchinganiche.com -- Just another domain I couldn't pass up, without any real plans.
Funny. I used "Emp" as one of my son's online nicknames at one point and briefly I ran a list called "wired for science", about/for kids with brainwiring like my sons have, kids who are also kind of "live wires". I have no idea what I would do with "empwire" but that's what I thought of when I saw the name.

originally I want to make site like lmgtfy.com but too busy with other projects. let me know if you're interested to buy, mohd.sulaiman at sudirman.info
If you really do consider reasonable offers you are part of a rare breed :) I have yet to email the owner of an unused domain name, Godaddy parking page still intact just like when they registered it three years ago, offered them a few hundred dollars and not gotten a response back that would be more appropriate for haggling over the price of their first born child.
