Austin,
Just to let you all know that we've been talking with GDNX since
before they actually launched, we're pretty familiar with their
offering. I also think it's important to note that they are owned by
the same company that owns Pool.com. Rob Hall is a busy man with many
hedge plays in this market. (since Pool would likely be dried up once
all or most registrars stop dropping their names so easily)
As for an after-market play this is also being baked along side our
Auction solution (which I'm happy to report is finally under
development as we speak) We see the opportunity very clearly
regarding your end users desire to do "other things" with their
domain beyond just hosting it and we hope to be able to allow you to
offer these services.
Cheers,
James

There is a group that is putting together a Global Domain Name
Exchange for
the domain resale market, http://gdnx.org/. In theory, Registrars
will allow
their clients to resell their domains on the exchange. So, instead
of just
opening up the resale market to other Tucows resellers, this would
open it
up to all participating Registrars. The GDNX would automatically
handle the
transfers between Registrars when sales occur.
I know that the domain expiration biz is currently hotter than the
domain
resale market, but I think that is because no one is offering
Registrars and
Resellers a way to bring it to their customers. They either have to
send
them to Sedo or Afternic, or they build it themselves, like
GoDaddy. I know
that my customers would love this service.

I want Tucows would get in to the Domain Aftermarket as a whole,
not just
the expired domains market. I would like to have a Used Domains
options
so that my users can buy and sell used domains. The used domains
would go
into a pool so that I could sell yours and you could sell mine.
Godaddy
and Enom both have a way for their users to buy and sell used
domains.
Tucows should have one too.
A resounding YES!
