3 domains - I need clarity, please!

    Hey, I have 3 domains basically rotting in my GoDaddy account and i'm wondering what the possible value of them is. They are;

    JammyTones.com
    Rock-Fans.com
    MadeWithAjax.com

    I know Rock-Fans.com has been registered before as it had backlinks when I registered it. It's also a PR4.

    Anywho, what do you think?

    The PR on Rock-fans.com appears to be valid. That one may go for $xx.

    Indeed. I was however hoping for views regarding the potential of the other two though to be honest. Thanks for your replies though.

    Regfee, I would say.
    "Jammy Tones" doesn't get much returns, and a three word domain is unattractive.

    I quite like MadeWithAjax.com but I've no idea what it would be worth in $ terms.

    Be very careful with appraisals you get here. I have noticed that they are notoriously low.

    For example I requested an appraisal once and was told that my site was worth reg fee - I then sold it for $150

    Another one I was told low XX but I got 710.00

    How much a site is worth depends upon how much someone will want to give. If you have a valid PR4 .com I can assure you that it is worth much more than two digits

    Rock-fans.com is not even a developed site; the PR will be dropped in no time unless something is done. You can find a similar PR4 in the secondary market for $xx easily (or even available for registration, though seldom).
    BTW, kentuckyslone, there's a difference between a "site" and a "domain."

    They've all had content, Rock-Fans was live for a while, the others only briefly (one of them hasa PR1 if I remember correctly)... I actually got the PR for Rock-Fans. When I moved host I simply didn't update the nameservers, this is why they haven't been used for a couple of weeks.

    Personally MadeWithAjax was bought at a time when I thought I would have the time to develop it. It is an attractive domain for javascript tutorials/blog/etc.

    I must agree though that a domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
