I lost quixote.com to a missed renewal e-mail and my being too cheap to pay the $20 fee for the expired domain thinking I could pick it up when it was released (in hindsight, ridiculously dumb). To make things worse, it was picked up by a Los Angeles film equipment company and for a while when I was taking grad math classes at CSULB, I would drive past a parking lot filled with trucks with quixote.com emblazoned on the side. It still gives me a little indigestion to think about that.

God, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you :(

This also goes to show how big the domain aftermarket is - perhaps next time you could list your domains on sites like Dan.com, where they'll renew it for you automatically and help you find buyers who are willing to pay for your domain?
