I'm in a similar situation as the OP accept the fact I've never sold a domain. It's been 1 year today that I started buying domains ( yes a lot of crap. But reading and learning a lot through namepros). I've never sold a domain, never had an offer, never had an enquiry, never had spam. It's like they are invisible. Got them on Sedo, afternic and undeveloped. DNS pointing to undeveloped.

There must be something there that's worth something.

I've been doing this for less than a year and had several sales. Before you buy another name, listen to every single DomainSherpa portfolio review from the beginning. You will learn far more than reading Namepros (because there's so much crap to sift through here and conflicting opinions and bad advice)

I can tell you already that you're wasting money on being too clever with the "z" (instead of s) and "a" (instead of -er) and other misspellings (shac instead of shack).

In my experience I recommend:

1.) Branding yourself. I personally use 'Frostify' along with the image you see of a snowflake and I use it consistently across multiple platforms (NamePros, Flippa, Efty, Various registrars, auction places, etc.) It's not hard to find a good name (even hand reg one like I did with Frostify which later became BB approved and you can save like $1000) just make it professional.

2.) Be everywhere, post often, but post quality. I'm not telling you to make a bunch of accounts and spam your offers, but periodically post on various platforms to shine that spotlight and let people know you're open for business.

3.) Domain landing pages. I've personally sold random domains I never thought I'd sell (such as a recent .info sale of over $300) due to just setting up a landing page and forgetting about it for over a year. Always be open for a sale, just make simple HTML contact forms or use a service like Efty to manage your portfolio and handle a lot of that stuff. You can also try Undeveloped.com I've had luck with them.

4.) Try various auction places, the big ones are probably Sedo, GoDaddy, Flippa, and probably a few others I'm forgetting at the moment. If a name doesn't sell on one, maybe try another the next week

5.) Be patient. These things take time

Don't give up, hang in there, and try to focus on QUALITY names over QUANTITY.
It's better to buy one name for $200 and sell it for $300 than to buy 10 names for $20 ea and not sell any.

I've had much better luck since dropping hand regs (nothing wrong with them though!) and by purchasing names that are ripe for reselling. I've mostly focused on LLLL.com's, one word .net and .org's, dictionary words, even 2 letter .biz domains (I don't recommend the last one, although I've been lucky, results vary).

Best of luck
