    Domains that good, or even better can be found on drops every single day. The names he sells are decent, but they arnt mind blowing. Look around the forums, you will always find good deals on people that arnt patient. Patience is key, but thank god for those who dont believe so.

    He sells cheap because it only costs him 7 bucks to register a name. If he sells most of those names for around $20, then after fees, he probably pulls in a little over 10 bucks. Times that by 10 a month, and you've got an easy $100 for registering, what I think, are pretty low quality names.

    I've been thinking about going about domaining this way, at least to build up my budget to acquire some nicer names.

    I've noticed that this seller's names seem to have the same bidders. This could be coincidence, but it's also a flag for shill bidding.

    I'm guessing he bought them really cheap, and is reselling them low, making the buyer pay any transfer fees. If he sells a large amount of them, then $5 here and there adds up, and isn't too bad of a selling strategy.

    I would say that they are above average quality (for ebay anyway) but he doesn't always list all the qualities of the domains in the title.
    He could get far more views that way, imho.

    well, the biggest problem people have is thinking that their domain names are something great when they arnt. Its the biggest down fall that people have. If you dont get attached to your names, you will raise more figures. Chances are, if your domain name has significant value, you will either be contacted, or if put up for auction, the bidders will take care of its value.

    IMHO I don't think the domains in that list are of any worth of reg fee even.

    As stated above, it seems that he is registering it cheap and selling for a premium of $1 or so..
