    HI,
    Being new and quite inexperienced in this field I'd like an opinion from you more experienced guys and girls.

    Is there any value in domains with - in it?
    For instance, the domain LLLLLLLLLL.com was sold for 11000 EUR about a year ago. And the LLLLLLLLLL.co.uk was sold for nearly 4000 £ late last year.
    Now I see that the LLLLL-LLLLL.com and LLLLL-LLLLL.co.uk are available for approx 7$ each.
    Would these be worth buying?

    it really depends on the name and the purpose they will be used for. Hyphen domains generally aren't worth as much but in some cases they are worth a bit like in a L-L.com for example. They are liked by search engines though from what I have read, I'm yet to prove that myself. I think Google is smart enough to pick up the words whether they have a hyphen or not.
