Letter/nymber combos have fallen out of favor, but one thing you will notice is the almost total absence of LLN format (letter - letter - number). If you have to have a number in one of these it looks and sounds better at the end, like EZ8.com which someone sold for DN Bux this week. Having a number stuck in the middle of 2 letters or a letter stuck between 2 numbers doesn't work at all and that's why thousands of them are available for a reg fee.
yea, thats tough. I got 84z.com (84Z Camaro) tonight along with a few other NNL. There were about 5 of the LLN left on the list I think. I took about 15 of the LLN in all.
