Do you have any domains, good or bad, that you could mention in your intro? It's kind of a forum tradition . As for advice, I'd say to spend a week or two reading through the forum. There's plenty to be picked up by learning from others experiences.

Welcome,

May I ask why you registered these domains ?

I think they are are not worth the reg fee.

I bought them a while back, seamed a good idea at the time, but after doing quite a bit of reading up I now realise how wrong I was.

You live and you learn and £10-ish is a small price to pay.

Welcome to the forum, Fantasyprem is not worth much (reg fee?), but could be used for a work related fantasy league or personal project

Boosterboxes, These are like booster seats no? Stick an amazon aff site on it and see? If it makes £10pm the name could* be worth 100+

* meaning you can prove 12 months earnings.
Anyway good luck with them & welcome again

Thanks Guys

Fantasy Prem was bought because of the monthly searches for the term and boosterboxes was bought on a whim as I used to sell trading cards.

Boosterboxes = A box of trading cards

But I like some of the ideas to do with it.

Can any body advise me on what price people sell already set up mini-sites for, is it:

Monthly Income x 12

One last thing are hyphened domain names good if I plan to develop a site on them.

Thanks again

I never knew that about trading cards Learnt something new today!
Popupblokes suggestion is better than mine, tv booster sounds more like it.
Roughly speaking, yes x12, but for a site older than 12 months and with good earnings proof you could command up 24x or 36x or more, it really depends.
Hyphenated names - according to Matt Cutts will rank just as well as a non hyphenated, But 99% of Acorn will tell you otherwise!!! I don't have a problem with them.
