I have a bunch (200+) of under-developed and expiring .info domains that I picked up cheap close to a year ago. Most have glorified parking pages. They will expire in approx 2 months and I am debating the value of renewing them. I have isolated a few top performers in terms of traffic. While price is not the only a factor, am still interested in flexibility regarding bulk transfers or renews. Has anyone successfully haggled a lower renew on a .info domain?

My other idea/option is to let them expire, delete and the purchase them again for a teaser rate. (With clear cut plan to develop them in order to justify next year’s renewal) Obviously I would not risk this "penny wise, pound foolish" mentality if these domains even ranked, had PR, or even significant traffic. All though I think the names and categories are good, I'm not too concerned that these would be snapped up by someone else. Has anyone risked or experimented with this option before?

I recently walked away from a few partnerships and dropped over 300 domains as I picked them up "cheap" but I've never gotten around to developing them.

Ideas are great, but too many can be the "albatross" around your neck. Focus on the direction you want to go and sell the rest or just let them die. This business is full of distractions and they often keep you from realizing your goals.

Good luck to you.
