I'm not a big fan of abbreviations in domain names unless they are universally and instantly recognized but "Effects Manufacturing".....I couldn't resist. Any thoughts on its value?

$0 - nothing came to mind when I first saw it, sorry

There is nothing to be sorry about. I'm in industrial sales, I am a little biased towards domain names that incorporate the abbreviation "mfg" ...different perspectives and opinions are valuable when one has a bias . . . thanx

That is my fear with this one and why I'm not a fan of abbreviations in domain names. If they do not strike you immediately for what they mean, they are no more than a jumble of meaningless letters. I am still biased towards this one though. It struck me as soon as I saw it and I have to think that I am not alone.

When I first saw it I was just confused... without an explanation I would never have understood. Either your domain contains a keyword and describes your site, or it's a brandable domain/made up word. This.. is neither. Reg fee IMO.

Lol, today I saw this topic again and I forgot what it stands for again, maybe its just me That might be worth something to someone who works with uh manufacturing stuff..maybe a little tiny bit over regfee or your might get your money back.

Or save it for like 10-15 years when LLLLL.com is worth something

I just sold this name for $70. It was as much the abbreviations (especially "fx") as it was the fact that it is a 5 letter domain name that is easily communicated verbally. This is a reminder that we aren't always going to see what others see in domain names.
