If I own a domain name that I don't want anymore, how do I go about selling it, and how do I transfer it from me to another person?

Try these forums:

Domains Offers & Requests here at WHT :D

http://domainstate.com
http://namepros.com
http://dnforum.com (requires fee)

There is another one but I am not allowed to mention it because I run it :D

To transfer a domain you usually create a new account within the same registrar and move it to it; then you give the username & password of the new account to the new owner.

I wonder have people ever succeed in selling at that figure using such parking page.

What about auctions like ebay? Does that work as a good medium for domain sales?

Sometimes yes. The majority of my domain sales are done through the forums mentioned above or via direct sales.

If you have some generic or 3-character domains, I would recommend GreatDomains.com. Yes, their suggested prices are a bit high; but with the end-user market, you can never tell. I've sold more than a few names via them before totalling more than US$10,000.
