    Park them with a service like WhyPark or NameDrive. You've got 'em for a year, might as well squeeze what you can out of them.

    If this is how you are gonna keep these domains, you better save your a** from renewal fees by getting rid of these for whatever $$$ you get in exchange. Starting WTS thread..yeah!!! Or maybe giveaway! :) At least, you will get a lot of blessing. lol Mind you, this way, your domains are going to nowhere. And trust me, parkin' won't help you either. Anyway, Good Luck mate!

    If you want to recover your money back and get your 750$ which you invested,Backlink these domains with high PR domains like PR4,PR5 and PR6 and wait till next PR update and then after PR update these domains will get PR so sell them at DP,Namepros or on dnforum.comBy this way,you will not only recover your 750$ back but you will arn more than your investment amount :)

    Good Luck.

    First, you can try to sell the domain. Else, since you already paid them mind as well setting up wordpress put some related content and put adsense. This is better than just doing nothing.

    Yes. I admit but again, you will have to risk another $2k in odds. Buying decent backlinks for all those domains ain't a mere deal. Also, PR is in very critical point I guess. Who next when it will be next PR if EVER?

    personally

    i dont see anything worth keeping

    you should have done reserach before simply buying any and everything that came to your mind
    there are a ton of places that help and teach you about buying good solid domain names

    A lot of money wasted. I would use google keyword tool, to see good keywords and buy domains containing that word

    Since their value is lower than reg fee for each of them, you should develop them into some minisite or autoblogs and try to monetize as much as you can :)

    IMHO, yes.

    Hate to say it, but I don't really see anything worth keeping.

    I disagree with you. The only 2 word domains that are worthless are the names the OP regged.

    Are you saying that names like InkCartridges.com, TonerCartridges.com, SkinCare.com, HairCare.com, PersonalCare.com, NailCare.com, HealthCare.com, CarInsurance.com, HomeInsurance.com, HealthInsurance.com, TravelInsurance.com, PowerTools.com, Airconditioners.com, & many many many more names I can name are worthless & aren't worth at least $xx,xxx?

    Nope, I wouldn't waste any money renewing any of them. You've made a loss & I wouldn't throw anymore good money after bad. Learn from your mistakes & move on I say.

    dont waist more of your time trying to sell them all, find the best ones you can and sell them or do something with them first, then look at what you can do with the rest (if anything)

    What I would do if I was you.
    Get your list of domains and put each domain keywords into through word tracker, or the google keyword tool, and write down the monthly exact searches for each of your domains, and develop the ones with the highest searches, and drop the lowest.

    At worst you have learnt an important lesson. Most domainers go mad at some point:)
