    From what others are saying, it would seem that part of the answer depends on what price range you're typically selling at.

    If you're selling in the £xx-xxx range, the cost of holding all the "extra" domains that potentially make up all kinds of "sets" may be prohibitive.

    If you're typically closing deals in the £x,xxx region on the other hand, well, simple math dictates that this offers a lot more flexibility and leeway to take that extra "gamble" and wait for that subset of buyers who want more than just the one domain.

    BTW, the example above of the starsigns is an excellent one. I have all 24 "STARSIGN"email.com/"STARSIGN"mail.com domains (where "STARSIGN" is Aries, Pisces etc.) and it took a lot of effort to collect the last 2 or 3. But if the right buyer ever comes along, they'll definitely want all 12 (or all 24) as the value of an incomplete set in this case is minimal.
