I've spent a lot of money on domains I was trying to sell now its time to see if I want to hawk up the money to renew them.

Some of the names I will let go.. like

321happynewyear.com
iloansharks.com
GodsLegacy.com
xxxflix.net and pornoflix.net (tried to make a quick buck the wrong way)

But I have very usuable names in..

mailgrams.com
resalevalue.com
charityoutlet.com (I will probably build this one)
ilovesleeping.com
myteller.com

AsianPride.ws
gotrice.ws
chopsticks.ws (all 3 were setup to use as free email but I can't find a cheap host for one page of html and I can't get everyone.net to work) I'll try bigmailbox soon.

My question is one domain I like myteller.com is about to expire.. Is it worth re-registering.. I think it is very brandable.... but w/ the dot com failures and such no money is left in today's internet business.

I have another list of about 100 names which are comparable in quality that I made but never registered because I didn't have the cash. It's good I didn't spend so much.
www.fishnetstudios.com (http://www.fishnetstudios.com) <- is one that is opening soon. www.charityoutlet.com (http://www.charityoutlet.com) <- I really want to finish
I have two other sites running related to school.

Should I keep myteller.com??? Does anyone have any advice on how to sell domains? I tried the sites. They haven't worked for me.

Thanks

Heheh....I am guessing you were listening to the AZN when you registered the last three names http://geekvillage.com/ubb/wink.gif

One way I always guage as to how popular a domain name is, is to see if just the dot-com is registered (the one you registered) or if other people have registered dot-net, dot-org. My point, I don't think anyone is going to pay more than a couple hundred dollars for those domain names, when they can just go register the dot-net. The odds of anyone being able to go out and register a domain name, and sell it, and make a lot money is pretty slim.

Some of those domains are really good http://geekvillage.com/ubb/smile.gif There not going to make you millions, but they would make a good starting point for a website. I personally like your .ws ones http://geekvillage.com/ubb/wink.gif

Best of luck with your domains
