Well, I would put up a bespoke home page on the site that visually suggests its relevance to the industry, and a visible, but subtle, notice the name/site are for sale, and then evaluate if somehow notifying a select group of potential buyers the name is available for purchase would be a good choice.
But, there could be a risk in that: if someone knows you want to sell, that may erode your bargaining position. Also, what if the people you contact perceive you as a spammer and are annoyed, and report you, and the site-name gets a bad reputation, and you get a bad-rep.
Keep in mind that "brand names," "trade names," etc. often represent deep emotional investments for people who own/use them, and have spent many $ and energy promoting them, often over many years.
«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

Start by checking you WHOIS info: go to www.who.is[^] and it can tell you your current info. Check that it refers to you, so if anyone who really wants it looks, they can ask you directly. (Exactly how you edit it depends on your current hosting service - ask them).
Bear in mind that most domain names don't have a lot of value: so try to be realistic in you pricing. Craigslist / FleaBay is probably not the best vehicle for selling a domain - think about where you would go to buy one! Good places: at the domain itself! It's also worth noting there are companies specialising in the sale of domain names - Google can find them for you - I've not used them, but I'd check what commission they charge before I signed up.

Star Wars 7 Trailer[^]
no need to say much really..
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.
Help end the violence EAT BACON

Even though...
...The three "prequels" were a bit rubbish.
...The original had a plot you could spelunk in.
...Luke was as convincing as a chocolate teapot.
...when the music starts, you just go "Yes!" damnit!

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

There is a cure for that.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Nice teaser.
We have no idea of the plot; or the hero(s) or villain.
We have funny robot, a weird looking speeder, X-Wings and Tie Fighters, we have the Millennium Falcon and a cool looking lightsaber.
And you can have a Star Wars special DJ mix done by Tom Middleton.

The Force can't awaken. It already died 30 years ago and before the prequels because of unstoppable teddybears.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I can't find the reference now, but Star Was (the movies) is the live of Anakin told from the robot's point of view. As such the prequels make sense (I don't mention execution, however I enjoyed them as well), but anything that happens after Episode VI doesn't...
I don't know if they would even try to fit in this mood? Or it is not the point and just goes along "it will sell anyway" lines?

Um...it's owned by Disney now - which should answer your question.

I am a twitter with anticipation. I really am.
But...
You know it's going to have totally over-produced CGI that will distract you from the characters themselves.
Star Wars wasn't about the effects (though they were AWESOME at the time). It was about young Luke Skywalker. Let's hope the next three have an actual story. I don't even care if you can drive a truck through it. I will suspend disbelief and logic. But only to a point.
cheers

I hope not. Saw the trailer for Jurassic World and they totally went that route in some scenes. Makes it look worse when overdone.

There are hints and rumors that there will be less CGI than the previous trilogy has.
hints[^]:
"I think people are coming back around to [practical effects]. It feels like there is sort of that gravity pulling us back toward it. I think that more and more people are hitting kind of a critical mass in terms of the CG-driven action scene lending itself to a very specific type of action scene, where physics go out the window and it becomes so big so quick."
Lets hope.
