Was it a bad idea?

[Sky9Media]

I'm going to show two of multiple domain names I registered hoping to resell for higher values. I'm a newbie to the domain name trading game and I would like to know if I made a mistake in registering these particular names. If so, why, and what should I do with them now?

1800iphone5.com

dcbatman.com

Get them grace deleted now.
Check with your registrar on how to do it to get your money back.

They've been registered over 6 months now. Is that going to cause issues?
And if this is such a big deal, how do people make money on domain flipping? It seems to me almost everything is branded these days.

Just curious.
Thanks

Oh !
1800+domain name just value when you own toll number too.
Here Iphone is Trademark. So drop it.
Dcbatman.com : I don't see any value too.
You should read more and more before buy domain
Good luck to you

What you've done is a form of "domain squatting". domain squatting is registering another companies trademarks in the hope to make a profit off them.

Batman and iphone are trademarks and belong to their companies.

Don't register trademarks. You can be sued or lose the domains through an arbitration.

You also asked how people make money off domain flipping. They register domains that don't contain trademarks. You either buy a "keyword domain" such as freephoneringtones or freewallpapers, or you buy a made up "brandable" name like Atbad or Ginto and hope that someone wants them to start up a brand. This is just a general idea, you can browse the forum here to learn more.

Both look like possible trademark infringing domains.
1800iphone5.com = iphone/apple
dcbatman.com = dc comics

Thank you all for your advice. I'll go ahead and dispose of these names.

Sometime I wanted to register sex4leisure.com and 1todating.com names.
these domains are similar you listed in your question.
