Default Advice on selling a domain needed!

I generally buy a domain I need/want for a project or client and use it myself, I never got into the whole domain reselling thing... however, I was recently reminded of the fact that I own poker-ireland.com from an old project that never got up and running.

I know poker isn't quite the hot property it was when I registered it, however there does seem to be a slight upsurge in interest at the moment.

I also realise that hyphenated domains have also lost some of their appeal.

However, I don't think this is a domain I am going to do anything with and so would consider selling it... however I have no experience in selling domains.

So any suggestions & advice appreciated, and specifically -
  • Do you think this domain is worth anything?
  • Should I park the domain or develop some small amount of content for it?

Does the domain get any traffic?

The hyphen isn't good, but if it's getting traffic then it might have some value, but I wouldn't expect to get a lot for it

Thanks guys - I don't think the domain get's much traffic, but I haven't looked into it properly. I was considering building up traffic and then selling it, but I think I have enough attention drains at the moment!
