    Picked this one up recently. About 8 year old domain with nice keywords and high cpc.
    Any ideas on value?
    Thanks

    - It's easy to forget the hyphens when typing a name. Many users are used to typing things like freecpluspluscompilers.com but not free-c-plus-plus-compilers.com. They'll probably leave out the hyphens and wind up at your competitor's site.

    - When people recommend your site to their friends verbally, having hyphens in your domain name leads to more potential errors than when the name does not contain hyphens. For example, how do you think your visitors will refer to your site if it is named "acme-books-and-videos.com"? They might say, "I visited Acme Book and Videos dot com yesterday. It was fabulous." Their friends, remembering that comment later, might type into their browsers "acmebooksandvideos.com". Oops.

    - It's a pain in the neck to type. Enough said.

    - I prefer to avoid hyphenated names if I can, but I guess it really depends on your domain name and your situation.

    Really not a fan of hyphenated domains for the same reason as cheat mentioned.
    The s on the end also makes it a bit more awkward sounding. Value wise its a .net and because of those other factors i'd say undeveloped its not worth much more than the registration fee.
