    Not sure if you are allowed to list hem here. However I'd recommend sedo.com or placing them on ebay. Unless they're great generic names you'd be better having at least a webpage with them as that helps sell them/up the value.

    Do the domains all point to your site? You need to have a set up like this to have any hope really. Even then "parkers" seem to make their money by charging quite a bit of money on a few domains, with most of their domains not selling at all. You'd need to invest in quite a few good domains and there's a lot of people already doing this.

    I must say I don't really aprove of this practice though.

    I'd recommend sedo if they are premium domains worth selling or somewhere like dnforum.

    If they're worthless in terms of selling them, there's a couple of options:

    You can set them up with some parking service and hope you earn enough from that to cover their registration fees then make a decision when they come up for renewal if they are worth keeping or not.

    You can try developing them and selling them as a website. The sites don't have to be fancy but this will add value if the domains are worthless on their own.

    Good luck.
