We still have about 200 domains I believe, looking to sell the rest for about $25k. If there's a way to contact Verbal directly, let me know as well. I also have someone who want to invest money into buying the lot for 25k, but he can't afford the whole amount...

Pornaholic.com would be a great email addy.

Rick, you've got some interesting names left on your list. good price for the lot. but if no one bites or you don't feel like waiting, put them on pool.com's new auction site, but before you do, email me so I can give you contact info for people there. i think you could get a bit more than $25k over there listing them separately. Or create a special page/domain without the adult domains and contact a major VC firm to see if they'd like to buy the whole lot for $50k-100k to use for their portfolio of startups that are still under the radar. you'll at least get the price you're asking if not more. a few hours on the phone can't hurt. and you'd still have some adult domains left over to flip. i posted this on another thread:

re: VC falling in love with BS ideas.
not the case at all. VCs dont LOVE anything. it's all about the "overhang". the VCs have so much of other's ppl's money in their funds, if they don't spend it, which they are supposed to do, they have to give it back and lose management fees,etc and other opportunities. VCs are currently raising more than they ask. Startups are getting funded again, and yes, everyone is looking for the next google. Current OVERHANG is estimated at 80-100 BILLION dollars that is just sitting there right this second. If you've got a startup, now's the time to tap into VC. One of my projects is banking on it. These guys invest a 10 little paper boats in the hopes that just 1 makes it across the water to it's planned liquidity event, be it ipo or acquisition. Whether or not Google's ipo succeeds or fails has no impact on the new IPO wave, because google made too many mistakes and tried to re-invent the ipo wheel w/their dutch auction ($120+/- per share) and no longer considered a true ipo. Also, the domain market is a small indication that VCs (via startups) are starting to spend again. and even business incubators are back.
overhang = imagine a fruit tree that's branches are weighed down almost to the point of snapping from having too much fruit on the ends.

that "overhang" i mentioned is industry wide and is considered a bad thing by the people who put money into the vc fund, but it's a great thing if you're a startup or selling something to the VCs. They want their fees/commissions and need to spend money.
