    Well, there is no advantage or disadvantage if you do so. However, if a directory shows sites in alphabetical order, your site would show up before the 'A's ;)

    Nothing like that. Domain name should be short/easy to recall so that branding can be done. For SEO purpose you can use long keyword rich domain names.

    I dont feel that numbers are very advantageous due to the past of selling domains.

    As eddy2099 has suggested, the only advantage of a domain starting with "123" can be in a directory ordering. That if ordering is done by name, of course.

    You can still find a lot of other alternative names rather than just adding '123'
