Speaking for a free domain aftermarket there is thedomainsmarketplace.com. No bidding, fees or commission.
Which one is the fastest of them all?
BEST REGARDS!
It will be faster if you sell your domain through the Aftermarket registrar of this domain – in this case, the buyer will receive domain in a couple of minutes.
Wait, you forgot about Undeveloped/DAN, there they have the following rates:
-Selling only through their website will cost 9%.
-Selling through partners will be + 5% of their standard commission.
I think in the future DAN will become the largest secondary domain market.

The DNHat service is very good, but is it not free? It seems to me either this site was made on a script Build2Flip.com (from MintTM) + other scripts, but a good service. Thank you for sharing with me. I can also suggest one good service and this is DomainHole.com – I think you will like it 🙂
