all I can say is, buy a B+ domain name, expect B+ results.

I prefer buying an A domain (not A+, not A-), and speed the process up, whether it fails or succeeds.

If it fails, eh, cost of doing business.. move on..

Fair enough. I guess the expense could be justifiable if a good domain name really helps. I'm just wondering about quantifying the risks/costs.

If it fails, you can resell it, but how often do domain names increase vs. decrease in value?

Also, how often do you end up not using an expensive domain name, or find out it was a dud?
