Promises, promises

suzilem pointed out this free domain name appraiser at leapfish.com.  Unfortunately, as they say, "You get what you pay for, if you're lucky," and I'm guessing it's WILDLY optimistic.  It wasn't very impressed with caerllewys.net, quoting about $2900, but it claims babcom.com, my primary domain which I've had since about 1994 or 1995, is worth slightly over $71,000.

Holy crap, Batman.  If someone offered me $71,000 for babcom.com, I'd sell it so fast there'd be scorchmarks on the Internet.

See, now that free domain name appraiser needs to include a link to an online domain name auction site.

Say..... Is there an online domain name auction site?

If not, might this be a site a Unix geek could set up and maintain? Taking a 3% cut a la ebay? Without infringing on ebay patents and so forth?

If you do it and become wildly successful, how much of a finder's fee would you give me?

I don't know if there is a specific domain-name auction site or not. A lot of registrars auction domain names. I don't know whether it's something a private individual could set up.
