You could still be in growth mode by dropping names. Growth mode = gaining skill atpicking better ones or in other words, "don't know what I was thinking".... still growth.

Yes, but that wouldn't be due to budget though. That would be quality related. And even then, picking better names decision doesn't mean you have to drop the older ones. They have to be considered on their own merit. I have stopped dropping names almost completely as I have noticed that they more than pay for their own renewals and don't require any additional work.

It's a long story - trying to make it simple. I've maxed out my budget but increasing quality a lot lately, so what I want to renew are domains better than this. Also acquisition is growing fast so I keep a limit on domains of this category, to let more room for better names, shifting towards more expensive ones worth renewing for multiple years but less risky in renewal cost should market go down for any reason. Not the whole story but you get the picture.

So yeah, dropping is growing sometimes.

Edit: This domain goes for me in the "safe market sale, not so sure about retail sale" - as in duration, certainty of a sale within the next 1-2 years. So I opted for market pricing and it sold and pays for a ton of other names like this.

When you max your budget, and when there's plenty of fish and growing fast, you have to sell. A lot.

It doesn't matter that much if you sell at $299 or $150 or whatever, if this is a good sales ratio and pays for more that comes right now. Otherwise you might not have room for buying more tomorrow.

If sales % is right, this is a way to grow. Sell now. Sell repeatedly. Not recommended for everyone, but it is for me. Market sales bring 60%+ of my revenue, well, that tells a story.

For each such domain sold daily I get 10 domains each day (on average). So unless I get more risk/exposure right now (avoiding that), you need to sell, keep money flowing. This is why many don't understand here (especially newbies) why sometimes I sell things at market price instead of full retail price.

Also, I could keep this one but I'm improving and learning a lot lately so I would focus on much higher yield domains. This means I keep the questionables flowing, not much thinking over them, while working and thinking way more on the ones that might yield top 4-fig or 5-fig especially.

So as I said, it's a much longer story.

I’m stoked to see you throw a four figure sale in Keep em coming.

I have 4-fig sales too and some are reported here. It's just that the smaller ones go much faster, for obvious reasons.

About in 2017 i recieved one inbound email inquiring for one of my latest handreg. I didnt even got the time to list that name at aftermarket and it was few days old. I asked them to make an offer. They offered 100. I asked for 3500. after some negotiation they told me 500 is their best offer. I didn't agree and told them 1500 is the least i will accept, They disappeared, during negotiation when they were asking me to sell it for few hundred dollars and get profit, i had to explain them that domain selling is my business, i buy tons of domains and sell only few so need to get high price for profit anwyays cut to few weeks they came back this time with three domains which they own and claim to be all premium as they paid a lot to acquire those. With that they were asking me to purchase if i like any as domain trade is my business, i checked the three names two of which had zero value as per me (handreg value 2-3 years old mainly personalized) while the third one was not only good name but also aged. i said i like only one out of those three, they offered me that name in exchange for my handreg name. I agreed. Domains were exchanged. Since then i kept renewing it refused several offers including 3000 USD from afternic. Finally sold in this jan for 4K euro (4889 USD)
PS i believe i could have got more for this name. But while owning it i realized it had some copyright issues and those days when i wanted bitcoin really quickly so agreed to sell for this price.

PS2 its already a website

PS3 last year medical was among my top niche for domain sales.
