Domain guy here. Years in this business. From my experience I've seen plenty of domains over time that have been deleted that end up getting purchased by someone sometimes for a large amount of money. The carrying cost is quite nominal. As a general rule if you own a large amount of wacky domains that you think have little value (that are .com I have to stress that) someone will come along at some point and offer to buy it from you. If you want proof of this go see some of the domains that are listed on buydomains.com and the price for those domains. Ask yourself if you owned any of those domains whether you would have let them go or not (I'm talking about the ones that sell for $750 to $2000 not the obvious hi value ones). Here's a few I just found (random) sourcingintelligence.com $1488 pearline.com $2500 ...etc. Add: One thing I have to stress is this. When someone comes along and wants to buy your wacky domain close the deal. You very well will not have another chance for 5 or 10 years. Get as much as you can and do the deal.
