Lucky for the new owner? ;) As for .travel, I was going to post this up today: "http://www.travel.travel/index.php/2009/01/30/13009-five-premium-travel-domain-names-sold-at-live-auction-at-domainfest-global/ I was just send this link to my e-mail and someone asking me if I thought .travel is worth it. I guess their "press release" is working/getting attention?" but I decided against it. I just don't know if I believe those were legit sales. Maybe they were... I don't want to assume ;) @ Almost Millionaire 777deals.com - Poker Affiliate Site? - HealthSurprise.com - Health resource site? 30minutepizza.com - Quickie Pizzas? HugBomb.com - No clue ;) Hug site? lol SillyParents.com - I think can be developed into a humor site for/about parents... 100% I can't see these going for more than low xxx in the reseller market. A brandable like HugBomb would NEED to be developed to get some interested, and receive steady traffic till its sold for a fair amount. The others hold their own weight a bit, but low xxx would probably be the peak. As for the future, it would REALLY depend on an end-user being motivated to snatch one of these for a development project till they get till $5000. (I wrote this before the above) I'm not sure holding onto these for any amount of time would get you $5000 in the <b>reseller</b> market. You might be able to get an end-user offer if someone wants them, but with a lot of the sales I've been seeing, $5,000 is hard to get. The only way to get a better valuation on them is to actually park the domains. See if they get traffic. I see some are developed into blogs (but haven't been updated!). If you've given up on them, they could be making you some extra cash parked... but you definitely risk de-indexing. Husband.com at $25,000… that was a definite steal.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make money off of domails. I would greatly appreciate your honest permission. I own healthsurprise.com, 30minutepizza.com, 777deals.com, hugbomb.com, sillyparents.com, and several others like this. Do you think they have any value, and how long will I have to hold them to get, lets say, $5000 for one of them? Thanks for the input. Brandon Thanks for the great info.

I still cant believe the interest in the ext I just dont see anyone searching .travel! I was there but from what I hear there was names that were going for a steal, I think many domainers are scared and looking for some cash injection hence selling domains SO CHEAP! Husband.com for $25K is CHEAP! really CHEAP! Congrats to the new buyer smart move picking up this beauty but not good news if the industry!
