My wife and I were gifted a 2010 vintage Dom for the birth of our baby 2 years ago from a friend.
We aren't huge champagne drinkers and don't really have a palette for fancy kinds like this. As such, I am wondering if anyone knows where I could possibly sell it and how much it might fetch? I did google the price and it appears to only be worth around $200 or so. If that's true I may just keep it, but it might be a while before we drink it. Does anyone know how long this champagne can last until we find an occasion to drink it?

I don't have an account so can't swear to it but I've been told (since I won't deal with ebay any longer) that Facebook is a good place to sell things these days.
The reasons pricing is not more than $200 is champagne doesn't age like wine. Vingated bottles (dated) will age a bit longer (maybe 10-15 years? I'm not an expert) but you're likely approaching the age of the bottle. Have a dinner party and enjoy it!
Maybe even local wine/liquor store? They could maybe buy it and turn around and sell it.
I can't imagine that they would take the liabiIity or risk to their reputation of reselling a bottle from an unknown source. (In fact, most food items returned to grocery stores end up in the trash instead of resold.)
If I didn't enjoy champagne, I'd regift it to a good friend who WILL appreciate it. We did that with a fine bottle of scotch once.
Unfortunately, you're not going to get rich off it. It's about $190 at my local Total Wine. If stored properly you should be able to get another 15-20 years out of it.
You can also go to Wine Forum and create an account to try and sell there. A lot of those folks know their stuff and will want to know that it has been stored properly. It may be best to just open and drink it to try it out or give it to someone else who might appreciate it.
I got a bottle of vintage champagne as a gift when I got married (I think it was dom) and when I opened it a few days later (love practically any type of bubbly) it was awful. So flat. Un drinkable. It was obvious that it hadn’t been stored properly and was way past it’s prime and had probably been regifted.
Order a pizza and crack that bottle, it pairs surprising well and it's fun. Also if it's past it's prime you didn't bother with a fancy meal and had a good time.
I don't know a ton about champagne, but I know that 2010 was an exceptionally bad year for it. I believe many of the champagne houses didn't even release a vintage for 2010 because of the low quality, but Dom Perignon was the exception because you will always have people who want to buy Dom Perignon. Given this info, you probably wouldn't make $ off of this bottle, especially if you're looking to sell it to a champagne afficionado.
That being said, I have personally had a bottle of 2010 DP and I thought it tasted great, but what do I know?
