I have recently been made aware of the potential market for a decent domain sales solution (thanks avs 
)
I am toying with the idea of creating such a solution in PHP. but before i start development i would need to know what kind of features people would find useful that they have perhaps been unable to find so far or simply something they have seen but feel would be improved by some minor changes...
also would people like to use a domain site that lists only their domains or perhaps allow for a second level where 3rd party members are able to list their domains for sale as well (either for a sellers fee or simply to increase the traffic through the site).
some ideas i have had myself that people may want to comment on or even add their own ideas to are...
skinable site design(custom site headers/footers & colour schemes).
available as a self install or pre-hosted site.
custom plug-in modules such as domain registration, who-is, advertising & expiring domain features to complement the main site content and provide an extra revenue stream to take advantage of traffic brought in from your refferal domains.
and would people prefer built-in checkout functionality or to arrange the payment method themselves once the sales dialogue was opened? or perhaps to provide a paypal checkout solution for all orders below a minimum prices and to handle larger orders by hand.
I look forward to hearing everyones opinions on this...
