I appreciate all your comments!
But I believe you guys have little imagination.
For example, it is common knowledge that machines are "mecha", computers are "mecha", etc, it is short for "mechanical."
Why then, would MECHAglobal.com and MECHAworld.com be worthless? I, and several others, think these are great names.
Why do you not? You don't like the sound? Are they too long? What? Please tell me! But first, try to think of some technological developments that are taking place in the "mecha" industry, and what the DN's may be used for.

eminemFAQ.com
He has millions of fans worldwide! Even I would like to know more about him. This site, based solely from its name, would be the ultimate resource about him! Is this not so?

sharesFAQ.com
I often answer questions about "shares". Most of the population has them, or has heard of them. Everybody likes to make money- shares are one of the best ways!
There are many questions asked about shares, this site would have current information and anser the Frequently Asked Questions.
Does this ideal "shares" domain name really have $0 resale value to you?
I appreciate your thoughts!
And appraisals!

terroristFAQ.com is one of the hottest topics at the moment!
With a major war on the horizon, which incidently was provked by terrorists, this would make, but not limited to, a great news site. It would have different terrorist group profiles etc... etc...
$0 resale value?

teenSIG.com
This could be:
1. a site for teens
Kind of like MSN's teen pages, with articles on fashion, being cool, drugs, etc... etc...
or
2. a site about teens
For parents etc... etc...

TeenSIG, the word, even sounds appealing, at least to the people I mentioned it to.
Do you think they were just being nice?
Honest appraisals apprecieted!
Thanks!

Keep trying though, god knows I've had plenty of $0.

Imagination is a dangerous thing when you are trying to sell domain names. Buyers do not have ESP. They have no idea what you were thinking when you registered these names. I am fairly literate and I have never heard of Mecha used for anything. Those names and especially all of the FAQ names have no readily apparent commercial application which will make them of little to no interest to a company looking to buy a domain. Stick with extremely clear words and terms with an obvious commercial appeal. Otherwise your only choice is to develop all of those names into web sites so a potential buyer could see the potential you do (even then I think these would be a tough sell). I would have to concur that I see little resale value in any of these but I still wish you good luck.

PornDesign.biz could get you $100 if you are lucky.
All other names are not attention grabbers. Not worth renewal.

I still like the eminemFAQ.com

If I were you I would develop it the info on eminem can be found all over the net and so long as you write it in your own words and don't plagiarise it will be worth content.

If you do a decent job of it you can build up traffic and then it might be worth something if you want to sell for a profit.

check out tupacfans.com for a good example of how this kind of site should be done. but don't steal any of the design as it belongs to one of our members and I doubt he would appreciate it. but nonetheless it gives you a good idea on how to go about it.

I really appreciate everyone's honesty!

Regarding the comment, "no readily apparent commercial application ":
The commercial application is rather apparent to me.
Most of the mentioned DNs have "product advertising" and/or "service advertising" in the name, Itself, as do these:
DrugSIG.com
CancerSIG.com
HealthSIG.com
(if you're new to this thread: "SIG" stands for Special Interest Group)

By "trade advertising" and "service advertising" I mean that messages to retail, wholesale and industrial customers (the entire market) are clear-cut with such domain names, i.e., people know what the site is about before they even visit!)
The names are also very short and pleasant to the ear. (Aren’t these important aspects of a name?)

Also, doesn’t instant "association" add value to a domain name?

CameraSIG.com
ComputerSIG.com
DVDSIG.com
MobileSIG.com
MoneySIG.com
MovieSIG.com
SoftwareSIG.com

Regarding the comment, "[these names are of] no interest to a company looking to buy a domain":
Maybe I'm just odd, but again, I disagree with you.
For example, I find it hard to believe that a company/manufacturer specializing in health products (be they oral or gym equipment) would not be interested in a domain name such as "HealthSIG.com"!

At said domains, one would find discussions, new product descriptions etc etc all relating to the said industry. It would be a magnet for related advertisements and a great domain to porn off related products.

Even this website is a SIG, the Domain Name Special Interest Group.

I do not want an argument – please except that what I write is simply my opinion.

I hope my comments interest you as much as yours me.

Thank you!

PS: If anyone has a change of heart and agrees with my opinion and then decides to invest in a handful of SIG and FAQ domain names, I would be interested to hear from you!

PPS: Thanks for the recent posts! There's so much to learn from you all!

Hi,

I tend to let my imagination overpower my judgement at times when it comes to regging Domains. I think if you want to reg these types of Domains you should be able to develop them as well just incase that buyer never comes along. You can get lucky but it does take some time usually.

If you have to explain a domain, it is worth $0. Really. Mecha? will get 0 traffic until it is branded and that will cost a fortune so it is worth $0. I know from experience. An I an expert? No I have had Genomerge.com for three years plus. Gene Splicing was supposed to be the next big thing. Never happened. Might take ten, twenty years.

That is the whole crux of the problem. You have to explain what SIG means. Anytime you have to do that in a domain name you have a major problem. You can cling to your belief that people will buy these but you will soon realize they won't. I've already been there and done that as have most of the other people giving you advice. I guess it is just something you have to learn on your own to believe it. Good luck.
