    Just check if they were developed before.
    Usually non developed domains are ok

    It is ok to buy dropped domains if you're not looking to take advantage of the age of the domain. If you're looking for aged domains then ideally look for domains that have not dropped.

    From what I have ever read, better not buy a domain drop because of some things that I have not understood until today, most of them recommend buying expired domains.

    I am curious, in your mind what is the difference between a "dropped domain" and an "expired domain"? I understand them to be the same thing.

    A name may have been dropped because it was banned from google. You will have to work hard to clear your name.

    expired - domain still held at the existing registrar - if you buy it, the whois will list the original date i.e. 12/21/06 as the created date. They are also more expensive in some cases
    dropped - domain that went through the expiration period (cca 60 days) and nobody got it, the created date will be the date you get the domain i.e. 12/21/11

    You should be fine with most dropped domains but there are some that are dropped because they are banned from google.
