    I'm new at domaining, a couple years ago I was thrilled about a few name combination that I ended with 60 domain names, mostly .com made of 2-3 words

    Since, my income has gone down and i'd like to not have to pay the renewal fees. I have them all with Godaddy?

    I've let a few expire as I have no time to develop these domains into websites.
    Am I able to re-sell the domains to godaddy or another domain-selling site?
    I tried listing them in auctions all over, with no luck.
    Cash parking made a few cents on good months.

    Many of these domains would make great websites if developed.

    By letting these expire, they become owned by godaddy, so in a sense I did the work for them of looking for useful domains, now they own these and can resell them as they like (since they have the budget and ability to hold to these long term)

    The godaddy rep said to relist in auctions and pay to feature some of the domains, also tried other auction sites, no bids. Since the domains are new and undeveloped cash parking was useless (no traffic)

    I cant afford to keep renewing these, nor to develop them.
    What should I do??

    Your opinion and expertise is appreciated

    I suggest getting an ebook telling you how to do domaining. It would really help your situation

    If there quality domains you shouldn't have any issues selling them. Try to sell them on domain forums, but just remember you won't get top dollar as you will be selling them to other domainers. If you like you can send me the domains you are trying to sell, if I see anything I like I will be glad to make you an offer.

    I suppose that it will be reasonable to sell or even park your domains.. Sedo and Namepros are good places to achieve this.
