    I know the extensions are crappy, but I could not pass them up. If any of you guys can give me an idea of what they might be worth please let me know.

    LINKINPARK.ME
    LEDZEPPELIN.ME
    BONJOVI.MOBI
    NICKELBACK.WS
    CARMENELECTRA.BIZ
    JOHNNYCASH.MOBI

    I am not going to do anything with these domains personally. I picked them up as a investment. Thanks in advance.

    I would stick to the major tlds if you are looking to resell any domains. End users are usually not interested in other tlds than the major few.

    the .me, .mobi, .ws, and .biz extensions are pretty awful. But even more risky is the fact that those names are (most likely) trademarked ....

    Trademarked I believe. If you ever develop any of this, you could potentially get a lot of trouble. This is the same reason why no one would offer anything for the domains, and not because of the extension

    Thanks...I am getting quite a bit of traffic from these so I might just redirect them to another website. JohnnyCash.mobi was the highest with 768 UV the first day.

    I suppose if you're getting the traffic, then it might be worth parking them to get a return on it, but just be aware of the trademark issue.

    As others have indicated, the primary issue here lies with the trademark. Domain trading is built on the platform of earnings potential and co-relevancy of a site's theme.
    While theme relevancy is obviously there, the associated risks of trademark infringement makes this very unattractive.

    I suggest you convert this into cash parking, earn the amount you spent on them (if possible) and let it expire in peace.

    I agree. It would be best to convert these into cash parking. You can get a small amount of cash from them, without the consequences of violating any trademark infringements.

    Nobody is laughing at you, my friend. But those are bad investment. Really bad investment. The cctld .me, .mobi, .ws, and .biz extensions are pretty much dead. I'd say it's worth $1 right now. All of them.

    This is, of course, only my humble opinion. If you like it, thank me right now. If you don't like it, you can thank me later. :)
