    How much are generic .com domains worth?

    Every so often there's various generic .com domains for sale on auction sites, but are they worth anything just because they're in the dictionary?

    Example: The domain "unspeakable.com" over at pool.com

      They're worth as much as someone is willing to pay for them
      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

              True... and you'll see people willing to pay more for those words that are commonly used and will get typed into surfers' web browsers and/or have a viable commercial use.

              A word like a "Aggrievance" isn't going to get many type-ins. Nor does it have much commercial value. A word like "Lamps" has both.
