Hmm, I dont rate any of those - Maybe reg fee without development (if you can find a buyer).

Try developing them with a hope to increase their worth.

Believe it or not, I kind of like californiaconcerts.com ... if you're prepared to develop content for it, I'd value it at $50. The others are reg fee at best, and the ebay one isn't worth the risk of a trademark claim (which could end up costing you a lot more than the registration fee) -- I'd let it lapse if I were you, rather than trying to sell it, unless you find a buyer with deep pockets who is willing to indemnify you for any trademark damages and legal expenses.

dndictionary,

Just a warning ebay gets sent all domains registered in their name from the registry. The will be contacting you soon I know from experiance. They will tell you to transfer the name to them. If you sale the domain or try to make a profit off it, they will sue you. Ebay is a registered trademark of the ebay corp. I had registered a couple ebay names and they sent me court papers that they was sueing me. So get ready cause they will be knocking on your door soon.

This is just a warning that I thought you could like to know.

Is using Windows on a domain illegal too?

not as such... but if the word "windows" points to the "windows os" then it is illegal!

windows-support.com is illegal

windows-cleaner.com is ok (provided I sell window cleaning services over the site)

Still many such "windows" sites running there without any problem... but I had a hard-luck! :(

Oh, yeah....eBay doesn't mess around when someone tries to use their name in anything, especially domain names. They even went to court (and won) for someone using "Bay" in an auction related website......
