Should I buy an old domain for my money site?

    Hi All
    I understand that aged domains are better than new domains if you di big quantities of Adsense sites and if you can get the old domains cheaply.

    But I am going a different route. I am focusing my energies on one niche, and I want to focus on building out only one website and get that to rank as high as possible. In other words, I'm putting all my effort into one money site.

    So I found two old domains, one created in Dec 04, and one created in Nov02. Both of them have the main keywords of my nich in the topic. For example, if my niche were "fish farming" (it isn't but I'll use that) then the two domains are
    xxxxxxfishfarming.com and fishfarmingxxx.com where both the xxx's are actual words. Both domains look like they would work well for branding. However, neither domain has any PR or backlinks (actual both have PR0), so they don't come with lots of web presence. But they are indeed aged as indicated above. The only downside is the cost, the cheaper one from 04 is $200 and the one from 02 is $1400.

    So should I buy either of these? Why or why not?

    Thanks
