It's just frustrating to see that you're unable to sell an expiring domain for a low amount of money, but once the same domain expires and gets picked up by a dropcatcher, there are suddenly buyers willing to pay $79 for the same domain they could have gotten for less than half that price. It is as if some people thought domains sold by SnapNames, Pool etc. were more valuable than domains offered for sale directly by the owners. Jeff, that’s happened to me quite often, too.

At least $60! Many times I've tried to sell on the forums a domain I plan to drop for a mere $10. No one buys it, then when it drops I see Pool picks it up which means at least one person preordered it for $60, and it possibly went to auction for more. > What’s the value of a domain nobody wants to buy?
