question How hard is it...

[DanBingham]

for you to let those expiring domains drop?

There comes a time when we as domain investors have to decide which of those domain we renew, and those we choose to drop. For some, this can be difficult time whether you are new to domaining, or someone who a has built up an impressive porfolio.

How hard is it for you?

Fairly easy for me, because all my names are at a registrar where they have the potential to be auctioned off at namejet for 60/40 Split before dropped.

I normally check with my girlfriend as she always knows how hard is it.

Fairly easy now but took me a few years before I started to drop domains with more confidence.

Which registrar is that?

Don't let them drop before you offer them on Name Pros.

Above does this.

Yes, easy now.

Learning to drop domains is just as important as buying the "right" ones.

REALLY hard...every name registered had a purpose and a vision but when reality sets in that the name is a dud, it is tough to let go...but once I make the decision to let it go, I never look back or 'check' what happened to it...too many new rows to hoe.

I wonder how many of us do?

That would be interesting to know...in my case, I learned that looking back in business or in life leads to alot of lost time (sometimes regret) so I only focus on now and immediate future.

Depends on the extension if its .info ,easy but .org takes a lot because I like it ,the ,Coms are very hard to drop.I just make up my mind,drop and move on but dont do that anymore but it hurts to see your name has been picked after by those who see value just like we pick names from drops and then sell .Patience and timing.

fabulous.com but there are others

Very difficult since most of my domains I purchase are things that I'm interested in developing. If you let one go then what about the others in the same category.

You will receive 60% of the final sales price (minus the renewal fee) for all domain names sold through this service

WoW. You must have made her an expert. I can understand the hardship you went through to teach her. Do you get any comparative opinion too?

It can be frustrating especially when a name you dropped becomes more valuable.. I think i let ethly.com drop. and now eth seems to be a big thing. People on namepros told me it was worth renewing. I barely used the appraisal section now.. I have been selling names that people didn't see value in here. I have to trust my instinct and experience. Even if eth didnt become popular, i should have kept it for the reason i purchased it.. a pronounceable 5l... hanreg..

But it can be good too.. it forces you to reduce your portfolio to only the very best names.. and if you plan to buy names in the future.. have a plan to sell it in an auction here and get anything so you don't lose it for nothing. Your busing is losing money in that case.

It's a very tough decision for both newbies and professionals

 

[Cdomains]

I don't drop any names, but the registrars always take them away when I don't renew them.

 

[imadoer]

Eh i regret dropping some but i only drop the lower quality. Doesnt mean they dont get snapped up or sell after i drop them. I try and ignore it. But i hold my premiums at all costs.

 

[alcy]

interesting about sharing profit 60% of expiring domains

aside from fabulous+above, anybody has others that do this or full list? ty.

I've been developing, buying, and selling for a while now.

If I don't have a 5 figure+ vision for a domain then I will be dropping it.

Also, if I am dropping a domain with clear end users I have unsuccessfully shopped it around to everyone humanly possible and am ready to move on.
