Your Expired Names Dropped

[sker]

Is there anyone who let their names expired then been caught by the drop vultures and eventually went for more than 3-figures?

Pls list them down if you wish to disclose it.

I am going to let some of my names to expire and some already gone. On my restructring program i keep no names other than .com/.net/.org & .tv. I even let some low traffic names expired at godaddy y'day. its gone now.

I would be gutted if that name went for 1k. I might commit suicide.

So i was just getting some infos from other domainers.

There are. I managed to sell one name I registered after it expired for $5k. This isn't anything special in itself, but I know the guy who owned it before me. In fact the bastard went and registered it one minute after a phone call with me where I mentioned I was going to check that name. Two years later he changed his email address, didn't get the renewal notification, and it dropped. Better still, a month after I picked it up he called me up with this sob story about how it was all a mistake and I should give him the name if I didn't have plans to develop it.

Why not try and sell a few on Ebay instead of letting them expire...even if to get your reg fee back ?

My eBay account got suspended for some reason. And i sold few on bazaar. Still got few more which i think would worth something and i let them expire for the poor vultures.

The intensity of greedyness won't be that high if it was on ebay.
I'm still thinking how to stimulate this drop names sudden upheaval of psychological desire and apply them on non-expired names.
If my research succeded, you guys will be able to enjoy "synthetic drop auction", more rip-offs,more profits. .... YAHOO!!!

Interesting you mention the word "synthetic". There is an eBay seller that goes by "Synthetic Rhyme" or something like that. He (or she) does pretty well I think for it being eBay. I notice most of the domains sold are not anything special, and seams to me the seller is not selling high quality domains on purpose. Just a supplemental income selling *B-movie* .coms.

I let some of my garbage domains drop, and surprisingly they were registered by someone and now are on AfterNIC. They didn't have good keywords, and when I had it they got minimum traffic, so I'm still confused what's that guy's motive.

Well, there are some ppl making a living on ebay,especially on domain trading but i got bitter experience on that.

My eBay account got suspended for that reason. I list two of my names with reserve price at 1k(if i'm not mistaken),when the name ended with no winning bidder i had been invoiced GBP100.
I went WTF ???

Then i went through their trading policy. It is pretty shit because if you don't sell your product with reserve price,then you go pay some % of the reserve price,if the product sold then the fee is waived.
I just don't understand the math behind this.

Anyway, i just stay from them.
