I guess this is more of an opinion on the total website, not just the domain name (I hope that is allowed).
GiftCardCollector.com
I have run this hobby site for over three years, and just don't have the time any longer to take it to the next level. It's been a good pocket-money generator for me, netting around $120/month through Adsense/Yahoo/eBay. Adsense used to be the big winner, but we all know how those trail off once regular users get used to seeing them. eBay is now the main revenue generator, and could be improved with some minor coding in the forums.
The site has over 27,000 user-uploaded photos of expired gift cards (all different) and uses open source software on a very cheap GoDaddy account. Serves up around 1,000,000 page views yearly, and about 100,000 visits. Like I mentioned, I have years of data to back it up. Most areas are handled by volunteer moderators, so my work exposure is minimal. However, with the right modifications I think it could be taken to the next level.
No SEO has been done, just run as a hobby site. Anxious to hear thoughts about market worth. Thanks in advance!
