General value of 7-10 year old domains?

[longroad]

Are ALL .com and .net domains aged 7+ years old considered valuable?

What is the general value of domains of this age which have never been used for a site and thus have no backlinks, PR etc?

 

[bricio]

the value depends on the names...
age can make the make them more valuable but the most important, you know that of course, are the names
would you mind in posting them here?

age alone surely doesn't make any name valuable, but to good name it adds to the value.

e.g. 328fd7w23hr.net if I register it now, won't be valuable in 7 years, nor in 20 years...

Over @ DP, people are willing to pay for aged domains, even if those domains suck.

Most of the major Search engines (especially Google) uses the domain age as a part of it's algorithm when calculating the search results.
(brand) new domains are more likely to be spam domains so "aged" domains can in many cases be considered more "serious" by SEs and less likely to be used for spam so they can rank higher...
