Does domain age effects my domain name price ? Does it depend on how old is the domain is ?
History of the domain is more important than the simple age. Age allows you to see what it has done in the past, but just being an old domain does not make it worth more, its what we get out of its history that tells us what it might do in the future.Does domain age effects my domain name price ?

No, not at all. But who decides "great" and "average" ?i see. So, does that mean that a (great name) new domain name will be listed at lower price than a older domain (average name) ?
So, can i earn money by selling a domain which is 2 month old ? Will anyone go for it ?Yes.
Just because a domain is old doesn't mean it's good. But great domains are usually old.
Personally I like to stick to names that are at least 10 years old, usually older. I have a lot of my filters setup this way, which means I definitely miss out on some good names and trends, but overall requires less time from me.
If a name has been registered for 20 years and its never been for sale, there's a good chance there's a lot of built up "desire" for the name. For 20 years people have been trying to buy this name but the owner doesn't response. When it drops and you put up a for sale sign, the floodgates open!

But buying dropped domain names are expensive for me. hand regg is cheap. I am trying to be creative so that i don't have to wait for a long time. Is it ok ?Yes. People make money with hand-registrations.
But they're two different strategies. I like to focus on older, dropped domains at NJ or GD.
Some people like hand registering domains and flipping them for $xx. Sometimes you get lucky with a hand reg that you can sell for $xxxx or more.
But there's only so much time in the day and I don't have time for both strategies, so dealing in older, higher quality names is my preference.
i see. ThanksMost super premium legacy extension domains will be aged (obvious exceptions new niches). But age alone is not a sufficient indicator of quality.
Age has little relevance to new extensions.
Since the age resets on expiry many domains that seem new really are not.
People do successfully sell hand regs as the report completed sales thread indicates.
Age seems immaterial to end users. For example a keynote speaker at the last NamesCon who has sold many millions of dollars said an end user had never asked about age.
Age can be a useful filter to save time, if you accept you will miss some good names by using it.
The value of the name to potential end users is really the paramount criterion.
I think age definitely helps if selling names wholesale to domainers, but irrelevant when selling to end users.

The age of a domain can be an indicator that a domain name may be good because a lot of the best domains were registered long ago and if someone kept renewing it for many years, then there's a good chance they believed it was good. However, the age by itself doesn't make the domain better.
Similarly, search engines used to give more weight to domains that were aged because search engines assumed that since the domains had been around longer, the domains were probably more established with better content than a domain registered yesterday. That increased the demand and value for aged domains for a while. Today, search engines may still do this to a negligible degree, but it's not worth considering for SEO purposes anymore.
The history of a domain can sometimes be a bad thing if it was used for malicious purposes in the past (e.g., the domain could be banned from Google) for fraud, spam, etc. It's always good to check archive.org for aged domains before buying them to make sure their history is clean.
Yes, depending on it's history / former authority, if any, that is the name's potential for "reincarnation" as part of a PBN... blackhat SEO stuffDoes domain age effects my domain name price ? Does it depend on how old is the domain is ?
