Domain name speculation is the practice of identifying and registering or acquiring Internet domain names with the intent of selling them later for a profit.

The main targets of domain name speculation are generic words which can be valuable for type-in traffic and for the dominant position they would have in any field due to their descriptive nature. Hence generic words and phrases such as poker, insurance, travel, creditcards, sex and others are attractive targets of domain speculation in any top-level domain.

The speculative characteristics of domain names may be linked to news reports or current events. However, the effective period during which such opportunities exist, may be limited. Quick turnaround in the resale of domains is often called domain flipping.

Best way to sell a 600+ domain name portfolio?
Q. This question will hopefully be answered by someone knowledgeable with managing/selling/buying domain name portfolios. A domainer in this case would also be very helpful. Although I know there are a lot of factors that would determine the value of a portfolio, what I am looking for are general guidelines, suggestions and perhaps some different examples of how some have handled the sale of their domain portfolios. Thank you in advance.
