As Mike says, if you are truly doing this to benefit the CakePHP community, transferring it to the foundation or someone who will do good with the domain (which you state is your desired outcome) without trying to make a profit (no matter how small) would make more sense. Not doing this makes your statement about domain squatters seem more of a threat to encourage a community member to buy the domain rather than a genuine concern. As for recouping your registration fees, the domain was first registered in 2007 and has been dropped once and moved registrar a few times so I would guess you're not the first owner. So, at tops I would say you've paid 4 years registrations, I would find a different registrar if paying $50 a year for .com domains, but why should someone else pay for the fact you have not found the time to develop the site in those 4 years, that's not their fault? I have to admit, you've touched a sore subject for me here as I really dislike the practice of buying domains, do nothing with then then trying to sell at a profit. You've added ZERO value to the domain (the only value of this domain is the CakePHP trademarked name). This put's you on a very similar level as a ticket tout in my eyes and by stating in your OP that you're considering auction, this shows you would really like more than $200. Paul
