Well the bad news is that these names aren't good at all imo.
Unless you will be the end user (develop them), ask yourself why somebody would want to buy any of these, and not pick another available domain.

BTW are these names so great given that they were available (in 2013), it normally means nobody would even buy them for $10 :]
Good luck.

Have to agree.
You get to keep these and develop them.
Maybe then in the future, you would be able to sell them off for a few buck to maybe 100 bucks.

As domains right now?
Not worth 28 cents for the lot.

Return any that are 5 days or younger regs, goodluck

You should search for a casino that operates in batch mode, or at intervals then suggest that they move into real time operations (and oh by the way, I have the perfect domain!)

A couple are better than my last reg.

Okay, so it's obvious I've pulled an epic fail. Would any be willing to show me their list or a list her in the forum of someone who has some decent ones?

Hint: look at reported sales. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Look at what sells, then understand why.

And read read read read read read and learn.

What are some good places to look up recent domain sales?

Hi, as a newb...it's ok to buy this kind of "loss names". However, as someone not so expert in domaining, I would suggest you buy a single domain with budget of $500-$1k.

Yup, I understand you're Questions.... How & Where to buy a single name that justifies the purchase price and what will be ROI.

This is what I will do.
1. Buy a name with some measurable metrics @ Exact Searches
2. Buy a generic names which represents an industry/service with a decent CPC
3. Try to sell it to end user, before attempting to buy another one.

I'm sure all being said is very subjective, but the points is when you a buy a name with some level of metrics to support it, you have an easier task to liquidate compared to those names you listed here.

While, CPC and exact match is not the most important factor if you're selling to end users, It still very important to domainers like you and me. The domainer to domainer market will offer the "Fastest" route of liquidity compared to end users.

So please make a purchase where a name still could be sold at lost rather than purchase 100(meaningless)name and no one want's it even you offered for FREE.

WELCOME TO DOMAINING WORLD! Its not a number game anymore!

That's very good advice. The only problem is you can easily waste $500 on a domain and never close a deal. Hand registering domains is a lot cheaper. But, if you can't sell 1 domain name you'll have a hard time selling multiple domains.

 

[Kate]

Be careful with the metrics, because I see so many newbies who register domains based on the metrics (search volume cpc this or that blah blah), but they don't understand what the metrics mean - and what they don't mean.

Personally I don't look at the metrics when buying a name and I have sold plenty of brandable domains with zero search volume for example. The metrics won't help if the domain doesn't look good enough (doesn't pass the eye test).

At the very least, the domain should have an obvious commercial purpose. Because people usually buy domains to use them in commerce (to make money). The little guy is unlikely to buy a domain on the aftermarket for a personal blog that isn't making revenue.

Buyers have criteria of their own. Domainers have their own, which are often misguided.

Since you are a newbie and you asked not to be critical already tells me you yourself think these domains are not good. We all start somewhere. The good news is in the last 4-5 years this place is like Domain University and you just got a free scholarship.

Now take that free knowledge that is here and do your best thesis on domains. Once you done that come back with what you should have is better quality domains and show us them in 30 days.

If you come back and still got shitty domains then you have failed college and time to go back and work in the real world and leave domains alone.
