I'd suggest you hide your credit card, forget your paypal id, and spend some time reading 'a lot' of threads before you only end up making Visa/MC and whatever registrar you're using, happier than you already have. Then 'read, read, and still read' until you get a grasp of what a good domain is that is sellable and useable. Buying names is easy. Buying 'good' domains is work.

As for your domain names, ask yourself (seriously here) which one of these names 'you' would build a business on, what type of business it would be, and how much 'you' would pay for that name? For these are what any prospective buyers are going to be asking themselves before the pony up a dime. And then post those answers here, showing your conviction of belief in it. If you actually do come up with a choice, a vision, and a dollar amount that you'd be happy to pay.., then keep that name and develop it, because you got it for reg fee and saved yourself having to pay more for it on the aftermarket. In other words, if you can't see a vision you'd use the name for, why would others??

ps: NewYorkPlumbingServices.com is the best of the bunch, but it's long and broad area wise.

thnkx for the imput hawkeye.
the list is in chronologycal order, so I got better with time LOL
what you said is valuable info

 

[TravisS]

Stay out of the "just registered" thread...thats my piece of advice lol.

 

[TC27]

@hawkeye nailed it.

Read more before you buy

Good luck!

 

[TheBlueprint]

are you going to develop any of these?

 

[miko137]

i have some ideas, specialy for easyveryeasy.com, windowshaters.com and exclusivius.com
why?

 

[TheBlueprint]

It's like more value in developing a site and getting adsense and other affilliate income then flipping those names.

I like windowshaters.com! You might be able to find free help designing and/or programming that one. A simple complaint forum, assuming its mostly spam-bot free, would probably fill itself up with content from all the Windows haters and their experiences.

and how do you expect him learn?

@miko137 don't worry - hey, you are doing just fine .. now go and try to sell few of them and then you will see what market really thinks

Do it one step at a time. There's much to learn about domaining and flipping names. Among your registered names, the one I like is your brandable name exclusivius.com.

and how do you expect him learn?

He needs to learn through education, reading, research (plenty of materials available here for free). Not by burning money ablaze.

Rather than learn from your own mistakes, you'd better learn from the mistakes of others.

yes, I agree with you for 100%

but... then there is stage 2 >> when we get our hands "dirty" and do some spontaneous buys.. just a stage everybody has to go through

peace

[miko137]

I am aware that made some stupid buys, but I think I learned a lot this way. If I were to read more I would have bought better domains probably, but I feel this way is faster learning, more fun and I invested less than 15$.
So, the way I see it, I spent 15$ in a Domaining 101 course and I may be able to get my money back. I'm already developing windows haters and have a few more ideas.
Reading the comments on my portfolio I'm learning so much, I really apreaciate all of you who take time of your life to help others.
THANK YOU ALL
Keep the comments coming...

How would you suggest I find free help to build/develope this site?
