7+ yr old domain- Worth Anything?

    I have a domain that is 7 years 1 month 2 weeks 3 days old- Is it worth anything because of its age?
    The domain is PR0 but I understand that with a bit of SEO work the domain will be favored by SEs because of its age.

    Any help/input would be appreciated. THanks

    i don't think that its age has any bearing on value- ijasdfjigo234.com could have been registered in 93', but its worth zilch . What is the name you are referring to ?

    The age factor is very debatable. We don't know if age is calculated based on "domain registration", or based on "first indexed".
    You might be holding the domain for 7 years, but if you make a site today, I think SE will consider it as a new site.
    Even if you get / expect some advantage based on when it was registered, I think it'll be minimal. More important factors would be links, PR, content etc...
    Regards :)

    I have names of domains that are +10 years old but without any backlinks/pr they arent worth much.
