What percentage of your portfolio would you guess would fall in the same category? Keep up the good work! Hi Chef,

So in this situation Chef, I would've done the same thing ;) I just wanted to add another note that came to my mind last night, it was probably best for you to take this loss in a risky market that could shoot up or shoot down at anytime.

If you don't dare in business you cannot and will not learn. Losing equals learning in my book, just don't make a habit of it! haha If you have a keen eye for new domains the 85 reg fee domain option could be an amazing opportunity, there are still many gold mines to be had for reg fee. However I would say as ChefPatrick.com is doing so well at the moment put the money into improving it one way or another. Best Regards Stevie Watts. Great writeup Patrick and so true!

No one like to make a loss but I think you did the right thing - Letting this domain go and you still have more capital now to invest in other domains or promotion of your blog! Regards, Robbie Congratulation Patrick on another sale!

Yes, it's okay to take a small loss, lose a few bucks here and there. And yes, it's okay to lose a lot more, like a few hundreds dollars on a few domains. But whenever I lose money on a domain, I will always try to sell another name so that I the amount of profit I make on this other domain will make up for the amount I lost on the other domain. So that is just my way of thinking. Chef, I read your article, but I just wanted to say my personal opinion. Yes, it’s okay to take a small loss, lose a few bucks here and there.

Xoda is short and brandable, true! but without a lot spent on advertising, a website called Xoda.com is going to be hard to find if you've not heard of it specifically mentioned in an ad. even then, some would still end up going to soda.com so, congratulations for letting it go :) in June last year I wrote about LLLL.com's belshass.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/in-10-years-time/ Again, I'd rather have 'the best SODA in the world.com' belated Happy New Year bestS, Ritz Hi Chef,
