that's my backyard you are talking about and I wouldn't touch those with a 10 foot pole... those are what you call a liability.

Valueing domain names is still mostly an art, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder..

I would value the domains related to spanish speaking regions more than the others...miami, florida, texas you get the picture..

Have been following domain sales for a while, don't recall much Trabajos names being sold. Its tough to put a price on these.

Some could go in the $xxxx and others in $xxx.

Eric, can you clarify the liability statement? Spanish speaking citizens represent the fastest growing cultural demographic in the country...

an eight dollar a year per domain liability.

If you know who I am, you may think that I will be waiting to scoop them up if you let them expire... but I wont.

don't worry, I have kept thousands of worthless domains for a couple years myself - and actually purchased domains for thousands of dollars, that I have no use for and may never see a return on!

here's some research I did that caused me to dump hundreds of domains, good domains that I had intended on developing - I created baskets of keyword terms for categories like real estate, jobs, health, fitness, etc. and one for Hispanic. Google AdWords used to show you an estimated budget for those advertisements - so I looked at the value of advertising in each category. The Hispanic basket was practically worthless in comparison to all the others...
