@ez77: It's a factor to consider, not the end-all, be-all deciding factor. I was going to purchase a five letter domain name for $2,000 a couple of years ago. It was way under priced for a standard english word dot com domain name. Turns out he moved it from place place, and when I asked the seller why he had a terrible answer. I think it might have been a stolen name but I couldn't prove it. In the end, the lack of clarity was enough to convince me not to buy it. That's all this article is supposed to do: help people figure out domain names and, in this case, figure out if there might be trouble associated with a premium domain name.
