The short answer
Count the cost of keeping names, not just buying them. Renewal prices can differ from introductory prices, and premium names may have different recurring terms. A portfolio review should connect each cost to a reason for continued ownership. Keep original currencies and conversion dates instead of mixing amounts into an unexplained total.
Your decision checklist
- List each name, registrar, renewal date, price, and currency.
- Mark missing prices rather than entering zero.
- Separate acquisition cost from recurring renewal cost.
- Add selling fees only under an explicit scenario.
- Review low-conviction names before their renewal date.
A practical example and next step
Illustrative budget: 25 names renewing at $20 each cost $500 per year. Adding ten more at the same rate adds $200 annually even if none sells. These are assumed prices, not market quotes. Before renewing, ask whether the original buyer-use thesis still holds. Owned-domain cost tracking is planned; use this checklist in your current records.
