Domains are like real estate. You may end up with a nuce prime real estate in cheap & do nothing. You bought a good domain long ago and not using it. You may buy a domain/property, raize everything & start from scratch. If you abandon a plot/property, domain, and not pay the dues (taxes) or registration fees, anybody can come & claim it through defined procedures.

Same way I may buy a home & get mail. Tomorrow if I sell that home I need to do change my address with senders, and make sure to put forwarding (maybe keep the old domain for few weeks/ this year)
