Why do better domain names expire when the owner doesn't renew them?

[Brother Bob]

Hello everyone!

I have been thinking about something that's been bothering me. Selling domain names seems really tough, even with all the tips and tricks people use. I have question and would love your honest opinions: Why do so many good domain names go unsold, end up expiring, and then get grabbed by drop catchers who sell them for a higher price? Why weren’t they sold in the first place? How can great names be let go like that?

I have seen some really good domains that were initially not sold but later sold for a great price after expiring. For ex, i backordered some great 4l that later went for $7,xxx.xx I'm really curious about why these names didn’t sell sooner and ended up expiring. Did the owner pass away, or did they become frustrated and decide to let it go?

Also, i've noticed that most of the big sales reported on Namebio are from auctions. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

The last time I expressed my frustration about not being able to sell, many people took offense and viewed my questions as insulting.... In the meantime, I've learned a great deal and made significant improvements through my studies.




For Ex;

Auction results are kind of over-represented on Namebio because most of the other sales need to be self-reported (but they aren’t).

Alright! Thanks.
