For some reason people put a lot of value on an aged domain name. I have one that was registered back in 1999 as it's creation date but I didn't buy it for that reason. To be honest I am not really sure what the big emphasis on it is all about. I would rather have a name with steady traffic then have an aged domain with no traffic.

For me, if I grab an aged domain at a drop, such as TDNAM, the value it has for me is that if a potential end user checks the whois, he cant know that I have just acquired it and am trying to flip it for significantly more than I paid for it!

I think this stems from the school of thought that no names that have been regged in
the last 3,4 or 5 years (or more) are any good. The idea is that all good names like
generics, dictionary, premiums etc., have been regged. So if the name is not an "old"
name it can't be a "good" name.

This is mostly true but not completely. However if you are spending 25k + you are most
likely looking at an "aged" domain.

Aged domains have several advantages.

1) Search engines will give them more trust (however Google also look at changes of ownership as well now)
2) Greater possibility if incoming links and traffic
3) People automatically assume it is worth more because of age (not always the case look at some of the garbage in the oldest 100 domains)
