Oh God, I just thought about something: how long do we have left before emojis are allowed in domain names?
We’re there. https://i❤.ws/
As of April 2022, there are 11 top-level domains for which emoji domain registration is possible
Welp, I feel like this iteration of The Internet had a pretty good run right up until the end there. Let's just go ahead and burn this one down, and shred the hard drives, and start from scratch with the lessons that we've learned. Let's be serious this time though.

Are the domains properly registered to an active email address? If your domains were actually desirable, you probably would have gotten offers already.
Edit: To be clear, you don't actually "own" your domains; you're just leasing them like an apartment. So all the money that you've put into them over the years is probably gone. And you'll only get paid for a domain you're squatting on if somebody else REALLY wants it.
There was a promising basketball player at my high school. He ended up going on the that NBA. We found out before we graduated that someone was squatting on a domain of his name. Apparently, it wasn't an uncommon practice.
I went through an online escrow company when I sold some for my work. It's really the only way both parties can be assured that they get their agreed tender and IP. Can't remember the name of the company though.
What are the domains?
I put a domain I owned and didn't use on sedo. After about 6 months of nothing, I posted on Reddit. Sold it in 2 days... 🤷
