Need advice PLEASE

[jrea]

In over my head & really need help please. Easier to dream up sites than to build them so now I have many names expiring. I am wondering if these are worth a second year reg to try to recoop costs or worth holding for investment or a lucky sale to an enduser. These are my faves but I have 600+ I really haven't tried to sell them. Now just listed on Afternic. Any insight or ideas or values would be helpful. Stressed out! Lost job! Been depressed but trying to exercise, eat right, be positive and deal with this. Hate to let them go. Please I need advice what to do.

I like bestbooklists.com

If you have no idea what to do with domain names - sell them all. I suppose that would be the best profit for you in the particular situation.

Thank you so much to all who have replied. Hugely appreciated even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. At least a few saw some of my visions. OK now that my obvious ignorance & unrealistic endeavors have are out in the open let's move on to how to get as much back as I can to pay on the credit card that I used to reg them. OMG Not happy but onward I guess. Some say Ebay, seek others here or ????. What has worked for you? Has anyone submitted to buydomains? Some expriring 11/6, 11/9, 11/15 & some later.

How about this for another lame brain idea: I'll use ILuvDomaining to blog about how not to be an idiot and spend $ b4 U no WTH ur doing! Perfect except I dont have any good advice except that I should have got on here about lets see 13 months ago. LOLOLOL Ok hysterical tears

two more ?'s

1. Estibot are those #'s anywhere near reliable?
Showed $5-30 on wholesale & 10-500 on aprsl(I get it that this is to an enduser) but no one on here even thinks they are worth the wholesale that is listed. So where are these #'s coming from?

2. Is private reg worth $ if not can I list po box for address and what about phone? Is spam a big problem?

Has anyone submitted to buydomains?

They work with high quality domains and they check the quality of domains before accepting you. I think it is safe to say you can pass on that ideas.

I'll use ILuvDomaining to blog about how not to be an idiot and...

You could do that but it will cost you money. You need to renew that domain and buy hosting. Don't do anything that requires you to spend more money. I think you have already spend enough.

Writing can be useful for yourself since it helps to reorganise your thoughts. I sometimes come to this forum and start writing and I find myself thinking about the issue in more detail and sometimes I think about other aspects of the topic that I didn't think before. However most of the time I find the feedback more valuable.

For instance you write a strong statement that looks good to you and then comes somebody else and writes a detail that you didn't think about. Then you start changing your mind. You realise maybe that first statement wasn't exactly true.

If you want to write write in this forum or go to wordpress.org and open a free blog. You don't need a domain nor a hosting for that.

no one on here even thinks they are worth the wholesale

Go to domain names wanted section and see if there are any buyers who want to buy in bulk.
http://www.namepros.com/domain-names-wanted/

For instance here is somebody:
http://www.namepros.com/domain-names-wanted/680351-serious-buyer-bulk-lots-com-net.html

You can contact this buyer and ask him. If you domains are already expired, like many of the ones above, don't contact bulk buyers for those. They might give you $1 per domain.

Is private reg worth $ if not can I list po box for address and what about phone? Is spam a big problem?

Don't worry about these things so much that you start spending more money. Focus more on saving money.
If you are too concerned about spam open a new gmail account that you will use only for whois data. Then forward incoming mail to your mail email address. If you start getting too much spam you can easily get another whois email. Gmail is free. Email forwarding is free with gmail. What else do you want?

Yea .... CA surfing and serfshop are OK and Meowgoesthecat if you are
a writer but do yourself a favor and let these go. At first you'll feel
the pain from a failed investment. But shortly there after you will feel
the freedom to make better choices.

Buy a couple of clear names about those hobbies you mentioned and fill
your sites with meaningful useful content.

As to estibot .... DO NOT look at the $ values ..... glean all the other
information. "That" is the estibot real value.

Good luck
