If interest is twice as bad as last year, you simply may not have stuff people want in this moment, like you had before. On the other hand, if there is plenty interest, maybe you're being too punchy on price
Every situation and every year is different. If you own a "COM" of a thriving business that they don't have, that's quite probably one of the easiest forms of outbound you can do, IMO. Not every business will care, they may be just happy with their "ORG", "NET", "IO"...but a handful will express interest, depending on price. One thing that isn't good to do (which I've done, I'll admit) is trying to sell a "NET" or an "ORG" to the owner of a "COM". Most of the time (but not always), a company will not care if they own their "COM"
