Seeing these domains makes me a little sad. There are at least some which are ultimately the end of a failed struggle to survive. How long did John Clarke give it a go with JohnClarkeGuitar.com (2011) before he knew it wouldn't work out? How long did he hold onto the domain still, just because he couldn't let it go.
Just a little heads up -- old and expired domains require a very healthy dose of due diligence before purchasing for those of you considering the option. It's not uncommon to see folks snatch up a vanity domain only to have all the toxicity that the previous owner injected into it affect the new owner's business.
Do your homework on what sort of links are pointing at it, why it's being sold, if it's under any sort of search penalty, etc.
It's not impossible to recover an old domain from spammy SEO, but it's not a task taken lightly.
It would be cool to include a poison-factor in these lists, where the domain available is checked against Google or other spam-tracking sites to gauge its health.

Looks like there was a big fan of Mallrats.
