For the most part, if I were you and thinking about spending roughly $150 to renew this list of domains or to spend $150 on something else -- perhaps just 1 domain -- I'd probably go with the latter option.

Opinions will differ, and I don't pretend to omniscience. But I don't see any obvious money-makers in the list. Often, a domain name will be quite good as a name -- even a name suitable for something real. But commercial demand is something different. So, for example, the following are pretty good when considered as names; but the likelihood of a sale (and the likely sales price) may not justify the names as investment properties:

WritersUnbound.com
BeijingPlaymates.com
TeenBulletin.com

The market for teen-focused media is pretty saturated. Teens themselves don't buy aftermarket domains. Adult webmasters seldom pay more than reg fee. So I'd let go of TeenBulletin.com, even though it's perfectly fine as a name. The other two might sell. As always with such names, the odds are low, the time horizon is long, and the probable sales price wouldn't be much above $1000, if that. Writers, for example, are notoriously poor. And they're creative types who'd rather name themselves -- especially when faced with a higher sticker price.

Hyphens should be avoided. That kills 2 of yours. Adding a numeral at the end of a domain -- as with GrenCoffee1.com -- may work as a way to get an $8 domain when the better version is already owned; but it won't work for domain investing.

Premium .INFO domains are selling well right now. But past-tense verbs with no clear-cut commercial category are not the right kind. Neither are 2-word phrases like DuckCalls.info. Drop those.

Blackberry is a trademark. Drop drop drop drop drop drop drop! Otherwise you'll end up facing legal problems eventually with that one. Same applies to iPhone.

Somebody might want Sexy.wf for the "sexy" in order to add a slight SEO advantage. But nobody wants it for the .WF. Given the wave of new extensions coming out, I cannot imagine Sexy.wf standing up to have any premium value. There will be a few thousand Sexy.whatevers, between all the existing ccTLDs and the new vanity extensions. If I were your hypothetical buyer, I'd pre-register Sexy.foo or Sexy.meme or Sexy.boo -- all of which are clearly junk, but all of which would be cheaper than your asking price.

LLLL.me ... well, I'm not entirely neutral. I own the .COM. Personally, I wouldn't have any use for the .ME. And I don't plan on "defensively" registering hundreds of LLLL.whatevers. I just can't see any reason to bother, honestly. Another domainer might want LLLL.me to list a few of their own 4-letter domains for sale. But what will that domainer be willing to pay? LLLL.me could only be used for their 4-letter domains; and they would probably want something more versatile.

Oddly enough, I kind of like Job.net.co. Few people will agree with me there, I suspect. But it's one of the strongest keywords. ".NET" can relate it to online jobs. So you could read it as the "Online Job Company" in a sense. Still, I don't see huge value there. .CO has been marketed internationally, but .NET.CO and .COM.CO have not been. They still mean Colombia, primarily.

Hope some of this helps. You're definitely free to disagree and prove me wrong, and I'll be pleased to see you make a sale.
