Yes, but do not expect many bidders. Your auction will be rather obscure in a
sea of assorted domain names. People who wish to purchase a domain for one
particaulr theme are better off searching whois.net (or equivalent). All in
all, you might spend time setting up to auction and receive nothing in
return.

I am not too sure if any of them is exceptionally valuable. Valuable domains
are often those that are entered by accident, by the curious, or those
domains which are easy to remember (short or catchy).
If I recall correctly, the infamous sex.com was recently sold for 7 million
US dollars.

You need to contact the registrar or have the buyer contact his/her registrar
(through the Web host) to verify he/she is the rightful owner. It involves
some ICANN forms with CAPTCHA's... not so simple and there might also be a
3-month delay (freeze) that is involved with the transfer. I can't remember
the actual reason. If you can sell a domain for $100, go for it. eBay is
worth the trust.
