Google to sell domains.
I wonder if this will mean that they will be the only option available to "sanitise" toxic domains from the aftermarket. After all, it is only Google that is declaring domains "toxic".

Starting to test Google Domains
It`s 2014 and it seems obvious, but across laptops, tablets and mobile devices, a website is one of the first places people go to find information about a business. But amazingly, our research shows that 55% of small businesses still don`t have one.
So as we explore ways to help small businesses succeed online (through tools like Google My Business http://goo.gl/Ajvbn5 ), we thought it made sense to look more closely at the starting point of every business’s online presence - a website. And that starts with a domain name.
We’re beginning to invite a small number of people to kick the tires on Google Domains http://goo.gl/pHvjoO, a domain registration service we’re in the process of building. Businesses will be able to search, find, purchase and transfer the best domain for their business - whether it’s .com, .biz, .org, or any of the wide range of new domains that are being released to the Web.
Google Domains isn’t fully-featured yet, but we’re giving a small group of people the ability to buy and transfer domains through it and send feedback on their experience. (You currently need an invitation code to do so, sorry!) We want input on all the ways we can help make finding, buying, transferring and managing a domain a simple and transparent experience. We also want to make sure our customer support and infrastructure works flawlessly, and that we have the right additional services (like mobile website creation tools and hosting services from a range of providers, as well as domain management support). We`re working with some of the top website building providers like Shopify, Squarespace, Weebly, and Wix.com to help make that happen.
While we’re still building out all of the features, our goal is to make Google Domains more widely available soon. You can check out the first cut of what we’re working on at www.google.com/domains.?
