Any recommendations for trustworthy places to buy old domains that:

1. Do not require any subscription
2. States domain age

Places I've looked: namejet, pool, snapnames, justdropped, freshdrop

These either require subscription or don't list how old are domains.

Not sure mate. Try googling and see what comes up.

do you mean expired domains?

I have used the NameCheap marketplace before. Of course, you only get to see domain names sponsored by NameCheap, but there are a few surprising premium names to be had.

Sedo.com is the biggest domain name marketplace. It doesn't require a subscription. You'll have to calculate the age of the domain yourself though.

do you mean expired domains?

I would recommend drophunt (http://drophunt.com/search.php) and justdropped (http://justdropped.com/) if the case is you're looking for dropped/expired domains...

namepros.com requires sign but you can do it.

thanks..I'm looking for domains that are not dropped.

In your first post, you mention only dropping sources for domains, but you just mentioned you are looking for non-dropped domains. Which has sure lead to some confusion in this thread.

TBH. You are severely limiting yourself by only wanting to look at non-subscription sources. Sedo (free) is the largest source on non-dropped domains on the web. But you should also consider subscription sources, like Afternic and TDNAM. These are both huge sources of aftermarket domains. You can search them for free and then only need to subscribe when you find something you like. Afternic is only $1 for a lifetime buyer membership and TDNAM is only $4.95/year. Both are a small price to pay on top of any domain name you find.

tdnam.com (run by godaddy I think) has listings of aged domains.

why can't you register? To buy domains you need to register at some point somewhere in almost all cases (Marketplace, paypal, escrow, etc).

also, whois has age information, why not find what you need and check dates?

I've looked all over TDNAM but can't find anything that says how old a domain is - if someone would be so kind as to point it out to me.

Afternic too, I can't find anywhere that states a domain's age.

Because I'm looking for domains with age rather than specific keywords, I can't be checking every single domain using whois to find out its age.

So far, only freshdrop has a domain age filter but their monthly subscription is $34plus. I suppose worse case scenario would be to subscribe for a month to buy the ones I want and then unsubscribe.

Most (maybe all large) aftermarket resellers do not calculate the age of the domain for you. You must do that for yourself from the whois.

The domains are not becomes old .you can buy domains through the reller there you will get your suitable domain.

I think that SEDO is the great place, at least it is very popular among domainers. But direct deals also very popular now

I'd also suggest Sedo.

To get the age of a domain, you can just run a whois search on the domain name.

Sedo does offer some "domain statistics" via a partner. The link is a little below the main content on a domain specific page. Shows things like inbound links, if it's listed in a directory, etc.

Sedo's not perfect (I think the UI of the site is terrible), but it does work.

Eww sedo wants 10% commission on sales :O

I think on tdnam (godaddy) you can buy older names for a fraction of the cost
