@DNfer, same just happened to me. Renewing at Godaddy after expiration is much less expensive though Most the coupons still work…

actually selling domains on forums for like $1 or $2 doesnt make any sense unless selling as bulk. actually last month i sold a domain which i droped for $750 for a enduser

it was in the redemption period when i got the inquiry for sale, then paid sort of $80 to redeem the domain back from the registry which i paid from the buyers advance

I know, it appears most of the domains which I let expire lately get picked-up on the drop. Actually getting a bit paranoid about it and always thinking why did I let it drop if it has value to others?

The odd thing about it is the vast majority of my dropped domains had little if any traffic or income during their time with me so it makes me wonder of I am missing something.

And what happens to those dreadful dropped name? They get swooped up by a newer, fresher domainer from a drop site! I would personally wish any such freshman good luck with any that we have dropped.

I can feel the pain.

So far have allowed 1,200 names to drop but the pruning is getting tougher now.

Made many errors too over the years. The best and perhaps only good way to learn this business is from experience.

I got into domaining by reading namepros and followed the advice to nubes not to register anything for the first three months of study – i still bought a lot of crap in the next three after that though I have only bought quality. My first six months are dropping now so if anyone wants gems like kidneys-for-sale.com you are in for a treat!

“You bought SWAMPLAND and the gators are about to eat you for dinner.”

Great analogy! Yet painfully real. I admit I’m letting a couple go this year that I no longer have plans for.

I have learned the hard way also, I intend to let the bad ones drop. Thanks for another great post.

Agree with Snoopy.

Have sold a couple hundred domains, planning on getting rid of another few hundred.

I’ve been improving my keywords through the years but having never cleaned house, and now is a great opertunity to do so.

Nice, Jaso.net lol.

I have only bought two quad premium LLLL.net’s before, sold them the same week for a few dollar profit. Don’t even know why I bought them.

I do have a bunch of LLLL.com’s if anyone wants them for cheap
