Except for a few categories the resale market has been significantly declining for 2 or 3 years, imo. There are several reasons for it especially Google doing things to negatively impact typein traffic, keywords and other ways, which issues I won't go into at this time.
To make things worse when your possible buyer goes to Godaddy and others to check on a domain they are told it's taken but we have alternatives and there's a long list of unregistered or lower priced names for sale in 100s of new extensions.
I have lost several buyers due to that which I am painfully aware of, plus countless other inquires lost which I am not aware of. So once a buyer sees keyword1keyword.2 com and keyword1keyword2.org are taken and may be for sale, as they often are, he's not inclined to make an offer or buy when he can get so many other tld's for reg fee or a much lower price.
