I sold several sites on Flippa. Each site was basically a re-skinned game-template, earning via Adsense, like a micro-biz. In the end, I sold each site for about 1500. Dealing with Flippa was a challenge. Later, I had my buddy in Norway sign up and buy a few sites from me too. We didn't like dealing with Flippa though, and he later bought my 13 other sites for $24K privately. We just stayed on a Skype till the transfers and tech stuff was done. Always better dealing with real people.
Building/developing those sites over 7 years was great experience but a ton of work, and I became adept at SEO, only to find it to be akin to building a house on the sand. Overall, I just wanted to reduce screen-time.
As for empty domains, I would love a time-machine to take me back to the 90's where I would snag all the generic and short names. In China, simple domains consisting of only three numbers go for millions
