Sell in bulk to a reseller - You may make a small turn in profit if you do this but you MUST leave at least 3-4 months on the registration. Ergo from NP was trying to sell 100's of CVCV.info's recently but the registration runs out this month. I looked and immediately decided not to buy. It was an immediate no no. 2. Plan to keep your investment - By saving! Six months before renewal start saving to cover your investment. Build up the bank balance to pay off the renewals. 3. Proactively seek out end users when you need the cash - goes without saying really... I sold a CVCV.info a few weeks ago for $600. It was simply through Sedo, but in some cases you should spend MORE time looking for an end user pre-renewal. The extra cash of one end user sale should help cover renewal costs. 4. Drop - The unprepared domainer will be forced to drop their names... For me this isn't an option unless, as in your case Ty, you reg some real turkeys. ;) Don't get me wrong I have dropped names in the past but these are normally ones that have been bought through a bulk auction or handed down for free just for the hell of it. The true domainer should combine all of the above. Sell in bulk to resellers to diversify your portfolio and keep your stock current. This can also help extend renewals if you are clever. Plan for renewals, actively seek out end users and trim your portfolio in the right places! Phew, that was the longest comment I’ve ever made on a blog! :) Rich Quadletterdomains.com Hi Ty,

For people investing in quad letter domains that are currently not increasing in value in the reseller market (i.e.: .info, .org etc) there are four options that must be considered before you invest.

1. Sell in bulk to a reseller – You may make a small turn in profit if you do this but you MUST leave at least 3-4 months on the registration. Ergo from NP was trying to sell 100’s of CVCV.info’s recently but the registration runs out this month. I looked and immediately decided not to buy. It was an immediate no no.

2. Plan to keep your investment – By saving! Six months before renewal start saving to cover your investment. Build up the bank balance to pay off the renewals.

3. Proactively seek out end users when you need the cash – goes without saying really… I sold a CVCV.info a few weeks ago for $600. It was simply through Sedo, but in some cases you should spend MORE time looking for an end user pre-renewal. The extra cash of one end user sale should help cover renewal costs.
