As first regs they are quite nice, personally i think ogfx.com is your best reg. GFX is obviously graphics, o could stand for original as an example. Potential sale for a designer company imho.

These are actually pretty good. Though I think Modguru.com would be exeptional. It is usable for things like gaming, and many others.potentail sale for many groups. The sell price will possibly fo for xxx to x,xxx. It might sell for more, but matters whos buying.

Thank you for the thoughts
I also thought it was a great name for a gfx company, I find it really hard to determine if a name like blap is better than blop though, I have joined some auctions where there were crazy bidding going or for names I couldn't understand were so valuable and other names like some of mine were easy to win in the biddingwar. (does that mean they suck or is possible to find a good name that not so many sees?)

Another thing is that my first language isn't english, this can sometimes make me think a word sounds 'cool', which really doesn't to a native english speaker :/

Solid set of initial domains, nice work. Glad to see you did some research before wading into the market -- looks like youre off to a good start! Cheers

Yep, its inevitable to learn fluent english, the less mistakes you make the better. Its not easy for me either, but with daily conversations and reading you can improve it a lot.. I believe that its possible to catch nice domains at proper price, but it takes a lot of time for research. I've had luck at snapnames before.

Nice catches there bud! Im in the same boat as you are, im also fairly new to the industry. I like viewhow.com a lot. It has great dev. potential as a how to site like howstuffworks.com or something. Nice find!

thank you everyone! Veru nice of you to comment them, could anyone tell me more about their value, so I know if i paid too much for them or I should continue like like this, currently i'm more interested in collecting that flipping them but I would like to know that i'm not holding on to a bag of reg fees

Did you buy these, or register them btw? I'm guessing the former. In terms of values, are you looking for long-term end-user prices or reseller? I'll give you some ranges on a few:

MrCV.com -- brandable LLLL.com high xx/low xxx reseller, into x,xxx for end-user

YouBase.com -- strong combo low xxx resale, strong end user potential into x,xxx+

Keep in my end-users are simultaneously the driving force behind the domain sale market, and also elusive. To figure the value of a domain, think about, in simple terms:
P = Base + Premium = EV(PPC) + Prob(Sale)*EV(Sale Price Premium) - EV(Risk)*Prob(Legal action) (Note: you should be fine in the last term on these)
