I'm new to this, and I'm just curious to see how large the average domainer's portfolio is...I currently have 344. Just interested to see where I fall in the pack...

I've read that the average portfolio size is 5.5 inches. Or maybe it wasn't portfolio, but another word that started with 'p'?
Yes, quality is a factor...none of my domains are crappy, random selections...the majority of mine are brandables. I was trying to get an idea of how much the average person invests in starting and maintaining their portfolios, and to figure out if there is a number at which having too many can hurt your chances of being profitable. Not hosting a pissing contest here...just seeking out best practices and analyzing beginners vs. seasoned domainers...Is it even remotely possible that quality is a factor in your portfolio? All I'm going to say is that if it is even a tiny bit possible that the quality of your domains determines the quality of your portfolio, your question invites the comparing of apples and oranges, only to determine who has the most of one or the other, never considering what there is a demand for.
Great perspective...I'm developing my strategy, so its helpful to see what fellow domainers are up toI have only 20 domains, I don't want to increase my portfolio either just want to buy quality domains which can sale easily. None of my domain ever expired i sold my domains within short period of time. sometimes i sold them at low price but its better to let them expire

Only around 35 domains currently. Looking to decrease them to 20. My strategy is to have 20 high quality domains rather than crappy 200 or 2000 domains. I sell my domains quickly for profit then I use that money to buy better domains. I keep repeating this process so that I can keep buying and selling better and better domains.

I agree with you. I do domaining as a hobby so 20 quality domains is enough for me. If I decide to take it as a serious business in future, it may increase...I agree, but the number is relative. You can hold thousands of quality names if you just have the time (years) and knowledge to spend.
Mike Mann's portfolio is, in my opinion, a good example: http://www.mikemann.com/domains/
Not all of his domains might be "that good", but his sales speaks for themselves.

Interesting...when you're dumping domains, do you release them into the wild (meaning just not renew), use a broker, auction etc?Hello,
I have about 850 domains, but I will not renew 300 of these in 2016. My strategy will be to have 500 domains + 50 in a "kill zone".
- If I sell a domain, I'll buy a new one to replace that name.
- If I buy a domain, the worst domain in the "kill zone" will be removed (read: not be renewed).
I am doing this to let my portfolio not grow too big (read: too costly) and to improve it, rather than just make it grow. My renewal costs this year will be about $20,000. In 2016, I will be closer to $10000, as I am dropping 50% of my names with +$40 renewals.
Why do I get the feeling that this is your mantra?
Anyways, I'm at about 240 names right now.
