Domains that you bought and never used

[Phare]

Have you ever bought domains, and then never used them? Then eventually, you let them expire and drop?

 

[bmugford]

I am sure everyone here has.

I do every year, although less and less these days.

The standard answer is yes , although you hope as you get better at domaining that element slows down some what

 

[coltter]

No one has golden finger and register each domain without regret.

 

[raceway]

Yes, of course. :lol:

Try to auction them off or just let them drop

 

[liquidcherry]

Cheers

I have hundreds of domains that I registered, bought off auction etc but to this date haven't developed them yet.

 

[Toni]

oh Yes.. But it's happening less and less...

I must have dropped close to 1k domains already (lol, 90% in my first year of domaining, but lucky I took the cheap learning curve with a few hundred .info's :P)

I think it is worse to hold onto a name because I keep thinking that I will eventually develop it into a masterpiece website. Meanwhile it keeps racking up renewal fees each year as I move onto the next "project".

I have let 100's drop over the years but refuse to part with these names that I will never develop (but somehow, think that I will).

 

[labrocca]

Probably in the hundreds.

I am sure everyone here has.

Yup. And the more you develop, the more you have waiting to be built.

 

[namewaiter]

almost daily

nice to see some honesty in this thread !

 

[rikii]

I've bought & never used loads, projects that never happened, change of plans or just bad domains.

No, never..... :hehe:

 

[Soofi]

lol I'm still waiting on developing LOADS!! I always say my day has very less hours and limited time

How I soo want to develop all my portfolio but time is the keyword here!!

So dropping and buying goes hand-in-hand with this business!!

 

[malcarada]

I did with at least a dozen names when I was a newbie, I now look back and I wonder how could I be so short sighted and not see that those domains were a waste of money.

I still check them out sometimes to see if anyone else regged them, nobody has and that was a couple of years ago.

 

[DomainTalker]

I keep dropping domains like flies, and they all seem to get picked up by someone...

...Either all these folks see something in them I missed - Or, the 'newbie' cycle lives on....Lol

[labrocca]

I love dropping stuff I can't sell for $5-$10 but they get picked up for $60. Unreal.
