One of the more creative ideas I've seen in regards to domains and trading was a fellow who was trying to trade his way up to a million dollar domain. He started with a really bad domain, and offered it up for trade. The idea was, you give him a slightly better domain, and he gives you the worse domain - but includes the transaction on a blog about the concept. So, in the short term, your domain value decreases slightly, but in the long term, increased interest in the project would give you an inbound link from a highly page-ranked site. He started with OneUglyDomain.net, and the last trade he did before the project folded was to trade for AboutFarms.com . You can see the blog at OneUglyDomain dot com.

I would like to see someone try that project once again, it was fun to watch his progress.

As for trading assets, yeah, it would be interesting to set up a domain sales sheet like sedo or afternic but for non-cash assets, lol.
