Domain Name Trading

Domain names are cheap. So cheap that squatters will put together any words that make sense (or don't) and sit on the dot-com.

Creative people are getting the picture. Many people I know have started buying fun domain names without any specific intentions, just to reserve the name in case a project comes up that needs it.

So I propose a domain trading website where people can post their "haves". If you see something you like, propose a trade. Tell the current owner about the project you have in mind. Offer up some domains of your own, or recognition on the website-to-be. To protect the spirit of the site, monetary transactions are banned.

Paradoxically, I need to find someone with the perfect domain to bake this.

       [calculust], good stuff, and I wish you well in your baking, but most people visiting your site won't have any idea what it is for. Maybe a description page would help?   

       (I'll be adding a domain or two later)
