    By you buying all these domains I will assume you are aware of the term Cyber Squatting? and are also aware of the cases where people have been forced to hand over the domain name to the company/person who normally would be expected to have bought the domain and received any cost they incured as payment.

    Now your "premium domain names" unfortunatly you have hyphens in some, t premium no one wants a hyphen. .eu? nope .co.uk only really relevent to someone in the UK.

    Now what can you do to sell contact the people involved and offer them the domain. If they turn round and see you taking the p**s they will tell you to take a long walk of a short pier and may go down the route of legal action. remember malcom glazer is a very wealthy man so a £10k case against you trying to extort money from him wont even hurt him or make him think twice.

    You could go and stick a page on the domain indicateing it is for sale.

    Another thing is if anyone wanted those domains they would have bought them before now. one of the first things doen in the createing of a business or what ever is domain names are checked whats available and registered.

    Check out ICANN before you stary anything, there are cases that have been won by the domain owner and onces that the person/company who's name/trademark are used by the domain Malcom Glazer if he wanted that domaincould easily get it from you, if you have a Glazing website set up on there and your name was Malcom then yo could have a good defence but just buying it becasue the guy bought United and a Tampa Bay so you know he is loaded he will wipe the floor with you over things if he really wanted to use this domain. You will proberbly get a better response offering it to disgruntled united fans.

    Now if you are trying to offer these domains to MSE members than that is against site rules just a little warning for you.

    So the question isn't 'how can I sell them' it's essentially a thinly-veiled advert for the above domain names. As stated, none of these are 'premium' - they presumable have percieved value to you but little or no resale value.

    Have to agree, it seems this list has been posted around t'internet quite a bit.
    I can't see much value to the domains either (eg "nanointelligence" is such an obscure unofficial term, I work in nanotechnology and I can't think of anyone who would really want it), the only ones that may be of value (of people's names) could easily be stripped by the people with a more legitimate claim to them.
