I sell like 6-7 a year from this rather small portfolio. My STR works out between 1.5%-1.8%. I do know people who actually selling the extension constantly, like the previously mentioned WeBroker ( they do also outreach actively) and for example Tonynames as well from a small portfolio in the 4-7k range. Why? Because they know which kind of names makes sense in the VC community. Look at "Redwood" for example: numerous VC firms, investment companies are using the very same or longer names. When the dot com is not available and/or out of reach you know it is a matter of time someone will pick it up. Also VC firms are normally not B2C but B2B, therefore they are more than fine using the .vc extension. They just want the "Brand". Again my math and acquisition/sales strategy was based on a very low acquisition price ( due to high renewal) therefore if you want now good names at auction they often go for 500-1.2k. So you would need to sell these in the 7k-10k range to be profitable. I hope this helps, scaling .vc today is very tough, but if you know what you are doing you can still make some money, not .ai though in terms of popularity and avg sales price. I hope this helps, also based on this you could analyze your portfolio and drop the names that are just off. Remember there can be VC names available or cheap registered in 200+ extensions, but if not relevant in this niche then you will have tough time selling it.
