I just renewed a $1000+ domains today myself, although I didn't have any this go around that I was trying to sell for cheap. I find if I can work a few months in advance I can sometimes sell the ones I am not renewing for at least a pittance. I have paid the annual fee, so it is just 5% or $5 minimum on a sale... which even if I sell a domain for $10 I net $5.... and it adds up on 100's of domains. Mark, Yes, it’s the Godaddy site.

Questions I had were where do I sell my domain name at places like Sitepoint (or maybe that was my bad in the first place), and how much does the service charge for me selling my domain name. Silly question, but does TDNAM stand for the domain name after market? @Kelly

That way you don't have to let anything expire. You can at the very least list the domains you no longer are interested in at TDNAM or Afternic or Sedo. If worse comes to worst, just sell them for $20 or even $10 on TDNAM. That will help pay for some renewals on other domains. If you are always working 3 months in advance you will be suprised what you can sell. Make sure that you are checking your portfolio 3 months in advance of delete notices..

Holy cow! :) What a coincidence this post is because I was just canceling some of the domains I had in my portfolio (if you can call it that). They were my first attempt at creating a niche site, but they never went anywhere. After purchasing them last year, I discovered tools that helped me realize that they weren't up to the standards one should expect when selecting such things. 1,000 domain names? Holy cow! :)
