Here is a little trick I discovered by accident and a quick phone call to TDNAM told me that it was 100% legal.
Say you're not ready to sell your domain name but you're just curious how much people are willing to spend or bid on it. You can go to www.tdnam.com (godaddy's auction aftermarket place) Signup for a new account (I believe it cost $5.00 for the year) Now you can place your domain name in a 7 day auction and let people bid on it. Now all the way up to the last minute you can click on the cancel button and your domain name will delete from the auction. The beauty of it is you're not obligated to sell. (make sure you remember to cancel the auction because if you don't and the auction ends then you're screwed)
Why TDNAM allows it is beyond me but they do.
REMEMBER!! These GREAT tips and more only at www.domainer.me
Question for you folks. Do you feel that it's kinda wrong to do this even though TDNAM gives the A+ ok? Please post in the commentary section. Thank you! :)

You're a scrooge...but I love it. I may just do this myself.
I wish tdnam was free to use. That would make this the perfect thing to do.
Is this really allowed? I'm wanting to find out the value of YellowSweaters.com, a domain name i registered and want to sell.
Do you think the TDNAM idea will work?
@ Missy
Believe it or not it's actually allowed. (at least according to the rep I spoke with at TDNAM) I was just as surprised as you are. Just don't forget to end the auction (even if there are bids) before the ending time of the auction or it'll be too late if there are bids on the domain.
Lol I hope that made sense. :)
You can try listing it on eBay and putting on a reserve price and seeing what happens. Every now and then eBay will have some sorta listing specials. You can try listing your domain(s) then.
You can also purchase an appraisal at Go Daddy and a number of other companies but I don't rely on them because one appraisal company will appraise a domain name at on price and another domain appraisal company will come up with a totally different figure. I always say a domain name is worth what people are willing to spend on them.
You can email me at info@domainer.com if you need any more info or help. :-)
