    Thats not a bad deal $250 I would go for it. It will save you some work, and it is aged, and related to you niche. Just build it up so you can get a page rank 3 or 4. But for the money I do not think its a bad deal. Good luck!

    I would however not go with the deal. If your niche is paying high and unless other similar domains are un-available, I wouldn't bother to spend 25 times the money for getting a PR1 domain with a good domain age. Anything about 100$ or close to it would be perfect. And also check whether the domain is really non dropped for last 5 years and does not have a false page rank.

    NO!

    5 years is something but not much here. PR1 is nothing.

    Question is how much traffic & how targeted?

    You can buy a brand spankin' new domain & get PR1 in a few months. Since you're asking this question, again NO.

    Buy a brand spankin' new domain & get it ranked on your own. There are no shortcuts, this is $250 wasted. I would rather see you buy 28 domains & try, research & fail at them than buy this. If it makes any sense compare it to buying a $250 car from a stranger....

    Learn proper niche research, on page optimization etc. before buying a $50 MAX domain for $250.

      Thanks for the tips

      Just so you know I have over 50 sites and they are all sites that I create from brand new domains and many of them are PR 3 now, but I have never tested buying an older domain to see if it ranks new pages better due to trust in Googles eyes, so that is why I thought this was a good deal

      Any more comments are welcome

        very very bad advice on this thread (I don't know why people are giving opinions about something they don't know about).

        The 5 years old age worth big, and the pr1 is an added value (actually, it can lose it within few weeks from your purchase, nothing to worry about)

        Just one thing to consider before the purchase..

        how long is it? if it's too long, then I'll think again before buying it.

        Does it contain a keyword?
        Having your site on such a domain is much much better than getting a new domain, so if its length is reasonable and it has a related keyword in it.go and grab it without a question...

    depends on the domain name.

    5 years, yeah that is nice, not a real big deal in my book but some people feel it helps.

    PR 1 is meaningless. Any SEO worth $.02 should be able to have a site up to PR 3 by the next update.

    It all comes down to the domain name itself. Is it a good name? Are we talking books.com or booksonline.com? The small difference between the two is a five figure price difference.
