    Don't see any domain that's expensive by itself in the list.
    But some could generate some income.
    Chicken feeding could sell some chicken feeding installations, supplements - you could try setting up a blog with some relevant posts and ad sense.

    No value in the Firefox domains? Would they not get hits once that version of FF comes out? It wouldn't take much to get "firefox15.com" to #1 for the web search "firefox 15"

    All of these domains are worth exactly ZERO.

    The Firefox domains are in violation of a trademark, which means that you could find yourself in a lawsuit. Delete these immediately.

    Let the others drop. Please do more research before buying lots of domains. Personally, I manage over 10,000 domains and have sold many for amounts up to 5 figures. I could have sold you one very good domain for the price you paid for all this junk. I know that's hard to hear, but it's true.

    No, not really, these are my trash domains, ones that I am "selling" because if they don't sell I am letting them expire. So what would you consider "one very good domain"?

    Well, among the domains I own are items like American.org, LLLL.com, and MarketingConsultant.com. These I would consider very good, although none of them is for sale.

    I think I counted 25 domains in your list above. That means you probably spent about $400 to register them all. Plenty of domain names in my portfolio can be sold to another domainer around that price -- some more, some less. What subjects interest you?

    These domain names make no sense and doesn't hold any value. If you would make Firefox 20 rank in the first place on Google at the time it will be released probably you will make your investment back but it is impossible to outrank large technology blogs when new browser version are release. Won't get into detail, but you are really bad domain investor for sure.

    25 domains, $25 actually.

    I am interested in online marketing, YouTube in particular, but I am open to any online businesses.

    haha, I am not a domain investor, as I already stated, these are trash domains, if they aren't worth anything, and they wont sell, then I will let them expire without losing a minute of sleep. I am the Owner of Ashby Technologies, we own and manage over 200 websites, I am hardly worried about these undeveloped domains.

    All the firefox domains violate a trademark and can get you into trouble. Those are worthless. Some of the others are decent though. Nothing very expensive however.

    Maybe it's just because I am not a lawyer, but I do not understand how owning a domain with a companies name in it violates a trademark...

    Does http://www.paypalsucks.com/ violate a trademark just because they have the word "PayPal" in their name? (That is a legit question, I am not attempting to be sarcastic)

    paypalsucks.com is a site that express people opinion about paypal, it cannot be a TM problem. While your firefox domains make no sense, so TM...

    Wait, because PayPalsucks expresses people's opinion, it is exempt to the law?

    Since it is not competing with PayPal and expresses people's it is allowed to use its brand. Of course PayPal don't like such sites but it is allowed but the law.

    Another example is when you have personal website or unrelated website using some brand name. Which of course means you can't compete with this other website and can't show ads related to it so this can't be AdSense website.

    There are many small things about these rules but it is better not to use other brand names.

    Do you think so?

    You should know that Firefox is an authority site, its 15 version page would rank on the first position in Google.com and other quality sites would rank below Firefox 15... if you aim to rank than you have to make effort, just having keyword domain wouldn't help.. ......... and now a days, EMD is penalized..

    Thank you; that was a good read, however, I am not sure if that is the same thing, they are participating in free speech indeed, however, am I not (The site is not developed, however, no matter what I (or someone else) put on it, unless I am selling firefox (we can assume that no logical person would attempt to do this), then I am not sure how the content of the site would not be protected under first amendment rights)
