Do buyers frown on domains that have hyphens or dashes? (eg. online-poker.com)

What are the pros and cons? It would seem that search engines still pick up on the keywords in the name.

Feedback?

domain names with hypens are quite misleading when it comes to searching for the ovt using the overture tool--they normally overrate domains. you just need to be careful.

I just sold a name with a hyphen and the word "the" for $100, so there's always hope!!!

example: www.the-?.com

at least in Germany, domains with hyphens are very popular. If you see alexa ranking for Germany, 3 out of the top 10 sites have hypens in them. Its just the tradition i guess.
