Do you find it hard to let undeveloped domains go?

I've just realised that a couple of domains I've been quietly renewing each year because "I'll get around to developing them" are now SIX YEARS old. I think that's long enough that it's not gonna happen. Turning off auto-renew right now.

I own 5 domains and only one I really care about. Find it best to focus on one thing.

I have 103 domains with Moniker, and about 15 with Gandi. I'd say that probably 20 of those are undeveloped, and have been for 2 years at minimum...

Maybe I should try selling them in advance for a few bucks, rather than panicking when it comes near renewal time and I only have a few days to decide whether to keep them.

I have about 900 domains and have started dumping them as well. Every month when renewal comes up I have been dropping a handful.

Post the ones you plan to drop. Selling them... Even for 20 bucks each is better than dropping them for nothing. If you renewed them 6 times, there's a strong chance someone will buy them once.
Get me on icq 266942896 with your list ;)

Yes! But I've dropped ~15 domains in the last couple of months. I feel a bit sad about it because I've been owning them for years. But since porn converts so bad these days there's no reason to pay for them.

I just let a couple drop this month that I've been holding onto for a 5+ years. Plans changed and I'm no longer going in that direction. Still kind of reluctant to do it though... I had a $250 offer on one of them a while ago.
