I agree about the length issue on these 2 names, not that 3 word domains are all bad but according to wordtracker and overture these phrases get 0 results thus I cant see them as having much value.
I appreciate the feedback as to the worth of these domain names.
A few weeks ago I had someone whom I know in another online forum offer me $50 for the ...books.com domain. Guess I should have taken her up on the offer.
