    Have a plan for it, or don't buy
    Use escrow if you can't afford to lose the money

    There few point such as what is your niche,the domain must be related to your niche.
    And most important thing is the domain must be short but contain the keyword.

    Buy domain only from big brands like sedo or godaddy, don't do a private deal without escrow.

    Contract for private parties. Then use escrow. Not really necessary in the event you are buying from established domain resellers.

    The most important thing is that you have got an idea on the most suitable domain.Then choose a trustworthy domain
    registration to purchase it.It's not necessary for you to consider too much,I think.

    I vote for have a plan for it, or skip.
    I decided only .com from now on, unless it is to protect brand or is really powerful domain.
    I think you want to make sure your not wasting your money!

    The main thing select a niche and then use a keyword based domain which suits best for your needs

    make sure the buyer is legit and use escrow
    if its a keyword domain see how much the keyword is used and if its a random combination is it memorable?
    is it pronounceable?
    if it has no dashes or numbers it is generally worth more

    you need to be careful with the domain scammers. try to call the owner first to clarify any details wrt pay , domain transfer etc. if they are under 100$ u can use sedo etc broker sites
