123- names are brandable but will sell at a fraction of the price of the related generic. Also watch that no trademarks have been regged for the business type.

-4u domains, again some brandability, but perhaps not as good as 123- and you have to check that existing trademarks aren't being infringed.

In general, if you want to resale domains for large sums, you need to focus on very high quality, and that means being very fussy and sticking to the pure generic terms and quality extensions. Lesser domains with prefixes or suffixes are fine if you want a high turnover and have very realistic expectations.

Thanks for the insight accelerator. For me its more about keyword ranking and traffic than the resale value of the domains. For the domain im looking at i might go for a hyphenated E- it just reads better i think and lately im seeing hyphen domains rank quite well
I personally think 4u's are cheesy fly by night names anyway!
