AOL just launched their own eshop named : in-store.com
Now here is an interesting fact, why AOL uses in-store.com instead of instore.com?
Of course both domain were registered few years ago, as whois shows, instore.com registered at 19-Mar-1999 by a Norwegian company, and in-store.com registered at Jan 27 2001 with AOL. However, if you checked the archive.org you may find that the original registrant of in-store.com was a Korean who listed this domain for sale with $2k.
So in-store.com should be bought by AOL later.
Though instore.com is a living site and in-store was not, I think if AOL wants to buy they can do it without problem or AOL may find other alternative domains without the "hyphen".
So maybe AOL does not mind they promote a big project with a hyphenated domain, do you think it would be a great help to increase the value of the hyphenated domains?
I wonder will AOL end up buying the non-hyphenated instore.com finally?
