domain Help appraise 2 domains:)

[blondenerd]

Hello!

I am a newbie with domains (have only been having my personal domains so far), but once out of a whim I bought 2 others. I'd like to hear what you think they might be worth. They are just domains, no sites and no links. Both expire towards the end of September. Here they are:

www.realcoms.com (my blonde thoughts went somewhere along: "this would suit a domain business". You know, "real .com's"...*grin*)
www.onlineamor.com (dating site?)

Are they just worth the registering fee? And if someone might be so nice to let me know what "wholesale" and "retail" prices mean, and what is their difference?
Thanks so much!

RealComs.com - with sugar coating, it's a stretch - redundant for what you have in mind. RealDot.com or Real.com have more value. ---(reg fee)---

OnlineAmor.com - amour (love affair) -or- amoré - oops, a miss. ---(reg fee)---

Similar to the domainer's "wholesale/retail" would be the car dealership anology. Car dealers sell unwanted inventory wholesale to other car dealers. Car dealers sell their inventory retail to end users. Wholesale price almost always will be the lower of the two, one exception being "reg fee" or $0 value.

Liquidation - (bargain time, no Vasoline for the seller)
Wholesale - (cut the losses, refill depression meds)
Retail - (pays the rent, divorce still pending)
Quick development - (simple site/template - wash/wax to sell car)
Full development - (serious end user market, domainer heroin)
CyberSquat - (lottery time, no Vasoline for the buyer)

Please keep in mind, the previous 6 level system is not recognized, not even as a rule of thumb. But it helps me keep things simple and I am too lazy to develop a 12 step program.

Thanks drsx!
I had someone contact me about realcoms.com a while back, asking how much it would be (I have no idea how he found it, although it is parked on Godaddy with a "On Sale" -page), but since that email was made from an internet cafe -addy in some faraway country without any name, I simply let that drop.
Amor...that is a mythical character, I believe?

Apologies, thought it was an attempt to speak Italian. Now I feel obligated to learn more about Amor... "Italian Cupid or Amor was the god of love. Son of Venus". Roman version, Greek equivilant.

Fantastic, Amor will lend well as an icon or mascot. Great web sites, like Monster.com, often use cartoon characters. Plus, Amor relates to theme. The viewer/visitor will want to know more, thereby less likely to forget. Great branding idea.

Online dating is already a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Get a piece of it, try quick developement. Throw up a simple online dating template, make it your own with simple graphics. Sell as a turn-key, ready to go package.

Oh that's all right I am sooo busy with everything that I don't have time to do anything with these domains, other than sell. Maybe I'll try Sedo, after all, it won't cost me if they won't sell
