Alan, I'd second Brujah's advice. Some of IPK's names have a south asian slant to them, and while many of the names sound downright preposterous to the US ear, "urdusex.com" and many of his other weird-sounding names get decent traffic. IPK knows his biz, as does the guy who just bought a bunch of the names.

well, I gotta admit I'm not in the domain trading biz, but I'm not stupid either. All our domains, well over 200, have some use, wether for our paysites, or for SE reasons. Now, do a search for urdu sex at Overture-Search. See those 600 searchs a month? That means that in the best possible scenario -that would be urdusex.com ranking #1 and getting 100% of the visitors- that's only 600 SE clicks. We've domains which nobody would type in in a million years, but THE WORSE of them gets 1000+ SE clicks FOR FREE. So I'd say we know a little about domains. If you like it, maybe not me, buy my SE guy. What does it means? Even a GOOD domain (which, seeing the numbers, urdusex is NOT. Not because I say it so, but because of the cruelty of reality and maths) worth zilch if it has no traffic.
And btw, unless you're KRL and making biz for millions, the only fact of having to sell them for a couple hundreds (or thousands if you want) is an alarm sign for me. The max I paid for a domain was 1600, a really hot domain with a PAID Yahoo listing. It made just a little above 3k in January without any promotion or effort. Do you think urdusex and its 600 searchs will make me 1k?
