To answer your question and share my opinion: Yes, you should be able to sell your domain. Here's why: it's a .com, it's short, it's easy to remember and it's easy to spell. Try to imagine that domain name on banners at trade shows, on tshirts worn by sexy models, and you get the idea.

If you want to sell it, what you can do is look around for other websites or companies with a very similar name. For example, is there an Xholes.net? Or maybe xxxholes.com? exholes.com? Find those sites, email them and see if they are interested.

But should you sell it? It depends on you.

If you have a business idea that you think fits that domain, the best thing you can do is to try to develop it. Yes you can point it to an affiliate program, but commission made from affiliate programs are just that: commissions: The customers and data you send to affiliate programs doesn't belong to you and its nothing you will be able to sell later on. What you want to do is sell your own product and services, and run your own affiliate program, and have webmasters send the traffic to you.

Look around for ideas and get advice from as many people as you can. Hit the trade shows too!

Good luck and congrats on a cool domain name!
