One thing which I have noticed over the last few years is that domains which are "too generic" say like...
FurnitureStore
ChineseRestaurant
SummerDresses
are not viewed as that desirable as exact-match domains don't provide the benefit they once did. As well, SEO and Adwords are preferred over paying a domainer. Companies seem to be preferring brands over descriptive keywords.
@Eric Lyon my thread in general domain discussion was moved to appraisal and the title renamed from "My recent domain name purchases from drops/deleted" to "TheCheeseCompany.com". Can you pls look into this?
