I had a dream the other night about these sites so i scooped them up thru the month and most of them tonight. I dont know what i should do with them

should I

A) just sell them at a decent price
B) make a basic site, get traffic and wait for offers to come to me
C) contact a donation company and put up a site with a % going to server costs
D) sit on them


Let me clarify, im new to the whole domain thing. and the whois is not me, its my good friends company he runs. mjmwebtech.com i dont need to transfer them in my personal name. Im cool with his name, i got receipts and jazz. when/if i sell them i would put my personal info on it so theres no confusion. I dont know too much about this process.

I asked around and alot of people said that those are good names for domains. I really just want to get rid of them for a set price. what do you think i should do personally. If someone is interested you can make an offer i guess. But unless its for a really nice price ill probably just put your info aside until i look more into the current value, what value i can make them and anything else i can do.

here are my sites:


biggestdonation.ca
biggestdonation.com
biggestdonation.info
biggestdonation.net
biggestdonation.org
thebiggestdonation.ca
thebiggestdonation.com
thebiggestdonation.info
thebiggestdonation.net
thebiggestdonation.org

Im really lost, any respectful help is appreciated

Sorry, but I cant see much value at all... check advice from more experienced guys or post it on the appraisal section: at least you will get an idea.
Personally (if you are on time ) will give it back for my money.
I you really like the names for personal reasons develop it :)
Just my 2cents

thanks for your opinion, and sorry if i posted this in the wrong place. you know the way forum noobs are. no reading lots of posting sorry

Naw, i wont give them back thats for sure. i got small offers from local people ( i live in like an area where people buy and sell domains alot) and i was offered double what i paid for. its a matter of opinion really. i personally believe i could get something for them. I can afford the yearly rate. its either sell them or keep em. when/how i sell im not too sure.

really appreciate your input

Yes, sometimes you can get your money back if you call the registration company within 4 or 5 days of purchase. Unless you have an idea that you want to use those domains for, that may be your best move.

I thought about contacting some donation company like red cross or some jazz. but the names might not be applicable and too aggressive maybe. Then i thought of building a site where the biggest person that donates within X amount of time within cycles get to either post something or get access to something or whatever. but i neither have the time or the patience to figure something like that out. getting money back is defiantly not an option im going for. Worst case, ill keep them. wait 6 months, if its a flop investment ill put up some simple site to get some traffic, few google ads and park them i guess to redirect to a specific one. if google ads dont allow that then screw the ads, just the traffic.

eventually sell them for a set price after i look into making domain names worth something. even if i just get my money back.

again, thanks for opinions :)

Go back to your dream and try to remember what motivated you to buy them in the first place. I often get crazy ideas and have some domain names I think up like this. My long term plan is to always develop them into the website I first thought of when the name came to me. You have to go back to when you had the idea ;)

i was half asleep listening to infomercials on the TV. something about a donation. then i passed out and the words "biggestdonation" came to mind. the word "The" came later

did a whois on a few. was like holy hell they are not taken... might as well scoop the .com's, then the .net's then it just exploded from there. I read more on this site and it seems some crazy sites go for insane amounts of money and other sites that seem good go for next to nothing.

I will probably build a basic site. cause traffic and see what happens from there.

Ya daft apporth. :hi: :)

Get yourself something like KompoZer, develop a simple site or two or three, add some adsense and sit on them for a bit.

And before you start dreaming again this evening when you nod off, make a point to have a clear purpose in mind when you wake up again in the morning, if per chance more domain names come to your mind that you just feel this overwhelming urge to register.

When you do register any new ones do so through DynaDot.com, then if you decide any names after a day or so are not worth your while, take advantage of the 5 day grace period and delete them for a credit to your account there, to then go and register something else after your next dream and repeat if you have to.

Don't eat too much cheese either before you go to sleep, my useful tip of the day.

Blimey, just as well you don't sleepwalk I guess. You could've ended up with registering a thousand names and next morning, looking at them all, thinking, now what the bloomin' hec did I have in mind, to do with this lot! :hehe:

Good luck.

unless you're using the word "the" in front of the word "beatles"--don't use it.

next time you think about adding "the" to your domain name, unplug your computer and go for a long walk until your thoughts become clear again.

unload these names anyway you can...even for a cup of joe if possible.

I expected some harsh replies based on the situation i put myself in. Yes, my nickname on here has something to do with the situation. :D I was Martin Luther King for a moment. Only this time it never went in the direction anticipated

Grassman out~

takecare

Sorry, but also can't see any value in any of those names. The only one that you might consider keeping is biggestdonation.com, maybe you can find an enduser for it if you search hard enough
