Since she took over as CEO, Marissa Mayer has been working hard to revitalize Yahoo. She's insisted employees stop working from home, axed unproductive workers, and purged the rolls of unused email accounts. Today Yahoo announced that it has discovered a trove of domain names the company purchased but never ended up doing anything with. So in the spirit of renewal, they're putting them up for auction.

"As we discussed what to do with them, it became obvious that it was time to set them free … back into the wild of the internet," Yahoo announced. "Surely creative people, businesses, and entrepreneurs could come up with something great to do with them. They could even spark some brand-new ideas or companies."

Some of the "premium" domains up for sale include sandwich.com, crackers.com, and jockeys.com. Some of the less "premium" but still delightful domains include finalcountdown.com, truestory.com, and cursed.com. Prices range between $1,000 and $1,499,000 dollars. Bidding starts tomorrow and lasts for one week.
