Dilemma! You HAVE to choose. So which ONE do you buy?

[Prosperous]

Hypothetical:
If you were interested in each of the following names, but you could only buy one (and they're all the same price)?
Which one would you buy?
And why?

Apples.net
Attractions.net
Bananas.net
Cheese.net
Craps.net
Dairy.net
Easter.net
Grapes.net
Mileage.net
Oranges.net

Cheers!

Interesting question Rob, my musing first picked out Dairy, Cheese, Easter and Mileage as being singular and therefore having a greater perceived value than any of the others, which are plurals, (not that plurals are bad, it just depend on what they are).
Of the plurals I would pickout Attractions as being best because I could see the potential for a portal e.g. LasVegas.attractions.net, Blackpool.attractions.net, etc.
Now which of the five to choose?
Although singular, Easter and Mileage I see as having limited end-user value, Dairy and Cheese on the other hand would have possibly greater end-user value but on a specifically targeted area all related to the dairy industry, which maybe isn't too rich.
Balanced against that Attractions.net, used as a portal for the tourist trade might give me the best possible opportunity of casting a wide net for end-users by setting up a portal site as mentioned above and where possibly greater revenue might be acheived through greater distribution and more money in the "pot".
So I'm going to go for Attractions.Net - but I could be wrong - watch everyone come and shoot me down in flames

Thanks!
Well, you are doing better than me already 'cos I still can't make my mind up. I am leaning towards picking Craps.net (which you consider as a plural!?) as I write this but in a minute or so I may change my mind again.

Anyone else wants to share his/her feelings about this?

Ha! - craps - I forgot in the US thats a form of gambling isn't it, that might change the options - no good for use in the UK but maybe for the US that just could be the forerunner for a casino type site.
Maybe that's the best option - still too late for me, I made my decision didn't I.

I do enough crapping on my own time

That's comparing Apples to Oranges... if you give a Crap(s)...

I'd say... pick the one that corresponds to the subject matter you actually have, or plan to create, a site about. Getting a name with "Apples" in it won't do you much good for a site about oranges, or vice versa.

Attractions.net, I'm with the biker dude.
Craps.net will probably be easier money though.

Wow, thank you all for responding. I posted this 'luxury problem' question on NP as well as here and so far Craps (which I myself would favor) is a slight favorite, and cheese is 2nd place (I myself would pick Dairy as 2nd).

More responses welcome, of course!

Beshopalula.......

You have gotten a lot of Mileage out of this. But I suggest that the next time you sit for Craps, that Apples, Bananas, and Cheese DEFINITELY increase the Attractions of the pottie, while Grapes and Oranges can turn it into a Dairy experience, if you know what I mean!

In fact, one Easter........

Best of luck!
