This is a big question especially when you have a portfolio of several domains and you do not know which all to drop and what all to renew!
Here is a small technique which I use to decide. This may not be the best technique but has worked well for me over the years.
I just Google the keywords of the domain name and check all those who are advertising for the keywords. These are my target potential customers. I also consider the websites which have similar domain names and appear in the results.
I also target the people who have domain names similar to mine but do not have a website on them.
Having made a list of email addresses(40-50) of all those who may be interested in my domain, I send out a simple email informing them that I am interested in selling my domain.
The subject line of the email is usually the name of the domain+ for sale.
If I get a reply from even 1 potential buyer asking about the price or mentioning that they may be interested, I know that this name has a value for someone and even if I do not end up making a sale to them, I know that I have to renew this name.
This is what I have been following for a couple of years and some of my hand-registered names went for high $XXX to low $X,XXX after I had renewed them.
If you have any other opinion in this regard or have been following a different technique, you are most welcome to share it!
