Have I caught any of your names? I think it is fair to say that your domain crap may in fact be my bread and butter
I don't know what names you own, so wouldn't know if you caught any of my drops.
still, domainers as a group drop names yearly, and others will backorder them with renewed hopes.
I dropped the following:
africanclothingandart.com/ it was picked up and now used as a website about towing services.
go figure that one.
dropped domainsupermart.com recently and somebody picked it up and put on undev with $5k price
previously I used it as a one page lander for a domain list >
http://urlpick.com/domainsupermart.html
dropped eyesoptical.com, used to earn nice $ @ sedo and after some years traffic fell off
it was picked up by eyesoptical.com.au
I offered that name to a wtb thread on np and the OP said it didn't make sense lol
dropped dombuy.com, picked up by hugedomains.com now has $5K price tag
the name was previously used for domain registration site under enom >

all of those had value in the eyes of others while in pending delete, but for me, it was time for them to go
PS
Not once, not one time, not even one time in your life did you have just one single domain that you thought you would have sold by now? I don't understand. How is that possible? You have dropped names before. Why have names you don't think will sell?
I acquire some domains mostly for type-in traffic and if they don't produce over a period of time,
then i set them free.
sure, prolly could get a few bucks or more for them if I was an "outbounder", but rather let others fight over them at nj, snap or dc
it my way of giving back to the community
also, I've held names for 10 years or more before selling, so there's always that possibility they will sell in the future
I don't have the "flipper" mentality, so expectations are much different, than those who do
As Biggie stated, at times I have lowered pricing on lower-quality names to low $XXX and when the expiration date came I decided to not renew. Then a domain investor picks it up and prices it at five figures. If it was really worth five figures why was no one interested at $250?
sometimes, it depends on "who" picks it up
as I've stated before, if it's a
persona` or high profile domainer in domain world, others may view the name as having value or being worth the new asking price, simply because that person owns it.
so that;s why i'm more surprised at who catches my drops, than what names don't sell.
imo....
