Don't check them,

I went through a phase of seeing what other people had picked off me and it only led to me hoarding more useless junk.

Just because someone regged them it doesn't mean they would have bought them from you for £2 on here, adding the transfer fee etc that's £12 at least it would have cost them to obtain it from you pre drop.

Don't beat yourself up over it bud, There are hundreds of catchers out there, if any of them thought they were good names they would have offered you money pre drop, pre bid on DL etc, you did the right thing.

I don't always check back later but it appears almost everything I drop gets picked up.
Maybe the new owners will have more luck. Sometimes an offer may take years to come if you take a chance and wait long enough.

Now, if none of your drops get registered, it probably means they sucked and you did the right thing by ditching them...
