    We had once over 150 domains, and not one sold. Only 1 was worth more than we paid.

    That means it is not profitable.

    domain flipping is not the way in this current recession. I'd 2 domain which people offered me $200 for both. Both are hand-reg. A year later, i'm trying to sell both for $50 and there are no takers. Like most said. 99% of the domains in this world are held by domainers. And the current recession doesnt help.

    No, this is not so profitable, its better to bulid only a website instead of buying so many domains.

    you can make decent money flipping domains. You need contacts, to lots of buyers and sellers. Also if you flip domains worth $200 to enduser, it might not be the best business, consider domains with higher value.

    generic word domain names are good. also short 3/4 letter domain names are good as well.

    It's only profitable if you can afford to buy and hold on to it for a while. It doesn't sell over night and once in a blue moon someone would make an offer to you that would pay for your whole portfolio :)

    it all depends on how good your domain is..there are domain sales happening even in this recession..just that the pricing estimation has gone down a bit..but if you have a good domain..someone out there has the potential to buy it..

    It depends on the type of domain name.
