What's The Worst Mistake You Ever Made With Domain Names? :)

Just wondering...

My worst mistake was this: back in the late nineties, when one could "reserve" domains with NetSol (not actually buy them yet - just have put them on hold) I had SearchEngines.com on hold, and never bought it! Keep in mind, this was before search engines were huge - but I still kick myself to this day!

Can anyone top that?

My first domain was purchased a few years back. It was two english words, but ended up being one that was long and somewhat difficult to type.

Live and learn, I suppose.

my mistake was a 3 word domain with hyphens between the words. now i readed that hyphens are not really good for seo.
