Welcome to Dn Forum. I see that you just joined this month. These names have zero value. If you are new to the business then stick with dotcom, at least until you know why these names are bad. The best thing to do is to read, and then read some more. When you are done with that, you should read again. Then repeat. The good thing about a forum like this is that you can look up threads from 5-6 years ago and put in a few hundred hours following the progression of the industry. You will see some names that sold for a few thousand here years ago that are today worth six-figures. There are also names that sold for a lot of money that really aren't worth much at all today.

If you are sharp then the lightbulbs will start turning on in your head and you will be on the path towards figuring it out. The problem with these names is that they seem to make sense, but they really don't, and since they are .nets you will get zero traffic, so they kind of become like Oakland.....there is no "there" there (even though that is a misunderstood quote that someone made about Oakland).

For a name to be valuable, someone has to be better off if they owned it, even if they own it for vanity reasons like owning their first name in .net. The buyer of these names would be no better off than the day before he or she bought them, and therefore they gain nothing from having them, so they have to be worth zero.
