This could really put "DNF" or "PerfectNames" (i'll leave that up to greg) on the map. I think, it would be great if there were a way to leave feedback about someone with whom you've had a domain transaction with.
If you want to know how eBay got so big it was because of their simple feedback system (with a few modifications since 1995). People felt better about doing a transaction knowing someone has been "vetted" sotospeak.
In say a years time you may sell between 1-50 names. Sure you get the money from all these individuals, but what you don't realize is that you are losing out on building your "goodwill" on each sell. Meaning the individual buyers know how you do business, but not any future potential buyers. This "goodwill" that you are losing out on is worth more than people actually realize. If you have "good" goodwill built up people will tend to spend money on your goods more frequently and without any hesitation. These kinds of customers are what separate the wheat from the chaff. If small internet operators are to compete with the "big guys" we will need to have feedback systems in place.
This "loss of goodwill" doesn't happen in the physical world because well, "everyone in town" knows how you do business. However on the internet, it's a lot tougher to build "good will"....
I'm sure they have businesses out there that are doing this now, or offering a service, but I am not aware of one specifically set up for Domain Sellers/Resellers.
Just my .04 for today

just as an example:
By my moniker above, I could have a link to my feedback "score". If someone would want to do business with me, they could check out what type of business person I am. To prevent abuse of this system, you could make it rigid, in that it would take at least two DNF community members to verify a "sale"....
On a side note, just think how fast this community would grow, in that to build your "goodwill" you would need to be a DNF community member??? Just a thought...
