still crickets for me.
with the higher reg/renewal prices, and the complete slowdown in inquiries and sales, I am really working to cut the chaff from my portfolio as renewals come up. part of my portfolio are brandable type .ca domains that could sell for low to mid x,xxx or better with the right buyer, but it takes waiting, and it's not a waiting market right now. for example years ago when cannabis was coming to legalize in Canada I handregged westleaf/ca and sold it for ~$20k within a few years because of pure luck that a cannabis company decided on that for their name. That's the type of domain I'd probably drop now if it had never had an inquiry, there's no obvious buyer, and I think I might get at best low x,xxx.
it's probably good anyway to do this exercise, if I were making at least low xx,xxx in annual sales right now the renewals would be easier. If a good sale does come along, then I'll probably renew more of what I plan to drop and take another year's flyer on some.
Although some level of recession looks to be ahead, the bright side is that everything is still moving to digital, more keeps being done online, technology and health are advancing like never before, and the crypto market has moved off its lows (Solana up 800% this year from its low), which all create the need for domain names. Remember all the big crypto related domain sales of 2020/21, we'll probably start seeing those again.
