To say I was a little over enthusiastic on my first purchasing sprees would be an understatement. I guess I got a little carried away as I quickly sold my first domain very shortly after acquiring it. Reality has now set in and I'm now looking at a huge portion of my domains and thinking, ugh, what was I thinking!?
I'm break even as it stands, but had I done more homework I could be showing a profit.
Some of them are touch and go regarding trademark/copyright, something else I was rather naive and foolish about starting out.
It was a good learning curve and my domain purchasing is now far more selective. Obviously I still have a plethora of knowledge to learn, but I'm reading everything in an effort to hone my purchasing instincts.
I have an idea what I'll hang on to (very little in truth) and what to drop, but I was hoping for some feedback from more experienced domainers. I'm not looking for valuations but rather some helpful advice on what to cut my losses on and move on.
I'll post some of my more recent acquisitions following any replies, hopefully they'll show a bit of progression
Be brutal please!

Any of these I plan on holding will have to be for the long haul as the chance of a quick sale on a re-reg is very unlikely, what i plan on keeping will be with a view to age.
