Two domains I'm not using, stretchier.com and loners.org, are expiring this month. Anyone want either? They're regged at namecheap, can either transfer there or give you a code for another registrar

Don't want to do this exchange because I really don't want another two domains :P

I might want to take loners.org from you, and create "facebook, without the ability to add friends".

/joke

People ask why I'm not on Facebook. I tell them I'm anti-social and thus will only join anti-social networks. They don't usually get it.
haha, that's actually a pretty funny idea
One that has been done, fwiw. https://about.me/
I'd love to have loners.org to use for a (free, non-commercial, and personally-funded) resource for introverts, and I promise not to give you a domain in return!
Don't drop loners.org

It's worth holding on to for sure.

Not great that it's a .org but as a general rule a name like that is worth keeping and paying the reg fee on.

stretchier.com same thing. I would hold onto it it's worth the gamble.

I used to hold >100 domains of similar quality, until I realized I was paying $1k/year on registration, and the value of my portfolio was increasing much more slowly.

It's certainly possible to profit from domains if you actively seek out buyers, but if you're not going to, it's not worth holding on to domains of that quality. It's a poor investment.

He already tried that. You're not helping.
Tried what?
Holding onto it, probably for long enough that he's noticed even his other, more obviously valuable domains aren't drawing huge offers either.
Long enough?

Sorry a year or two is not a long time in domains as anyone who is in that business knows (such as myself).
