    If you have no use for them sell them while you can.

    They may go up or down in the future as other TLD's become common.
  • 3-5,000 hits (non-unique visitors) but 64,000 PPC clicks? How does that work on a parked domain?

    Getting a click through rate of 5% would be mean you were doing ok but a rate of 1,600%? Sounds like your stats are wrong or you're using dodgy scripts

    My sites RPM is generally about £3.50 so if you are averaging 4,000 hits then you'd be looking at £14/month. Unless you are going to be doing a lot of promotion of your domains then an offer of £1,500 for a pair is fairly generous esp as the additional TLDs is likely to devalue domains
