Is it easy selling domains which are registered at 1and1?

nothing special, wait 60 days and you can transfer out.
Many German domains are reg'd with 1&1 by the way.

Put simply, many registrars are not adapted to the needs of domainers or large portfolio owners. And I am not just talking about the push. Some registrars make everything more complicated than it should, and don't be lured by the cheap prices. Your time (and mental health) has a price.
The push applies to gTLDs and also certain ccTLDs. It depends.
You don't have to use a single registrar for all extensions, in fact it would be a good idea to diversify. For example, for .de domains I use German or Austrian registrars. US registrars generally don't handle ccTLDs well...

From the looks of it transferring a domain between two 1and1 accounts is pretty easy.

That means you have 2 options...
1) Register the domain there and then wait 60 days..whoever you sell it to can either create an account at 1and1, or have you transfer it wherever they want.
2) Don't wait 60 days and if someone buys, you just have them create an account at 1and1 and then follow the steps above.

I wouldn't touch 1&1 with a barge pole but most registrars have transfer out rules. My advice, transfer your domains away asap as they have a notoriously bad reputation.

They sent me collection letters for renewal fees for domains I intentionally let expire. Every other registrar I have used lets them expire and they go away without any more fuss. I will not even look at a purchase if 1 and 1 is involved.

Letter to do what, must you renew at all cost? That is not done anywhere.

Is the $1 .com reg at 1and1 unlimited? what's the catch? I never bothered dealing with them because I heard a lot of bad.

I did not renew them. They kept them active & when I didn't pay I got a collection letter demanding payment. I never have my domains set to auto renewal and just assumed they would expire like normal.

Truly horrid. Using them I guess would be akin to sending your kids to a daycare run by the Russian mafia.

It's the domain itself which sells itself at any registrar. The title of your thread is misleading. It's as easy to sell a domain registered at 1and1 as any other registrar. But the problems you are going to have is 1) End users usually want their domain at GoDaddy 2) Resellers won't touch 1and1 with a bargepole, but at least they will be familiar with the transfer procedures to GoDaddy. So as long as you are familiar with the transfer out procedures and regulations at 1and1, it shouldn't be a problem. But. For me. Your judgement is impaired if you are registering domains at 1and1 for resale. You'd be much better off using a GoDaddy Coupon and registering the domain at GoDaddy directly. Everybody has an account at GoDaddy. And a push to another GoDaddy account is also easy. So your customers benefit.
