Domain age is NOT solely based on whois registration date. He is 100% right.
For non SEOs this is a hard concept to grasp, especially on this forum, but domain age with respect to SERP is based on the following; Archive.org records, Googles compiled zone file from the beginning on internet history, and the current whois registration date.
I like to use this example... if AOL.com fell off the registry tomorrow and someone scooped it up; would it be a 1 day old domain?
Of course not.
I think there are some pretty smart people on this forum, so I assume the rejection of the facts of 'domain age' are just used to brow beat sellers into submission of selling good names at the lowest price possible.
Domains with a retained age are more attractive in some cases, but honestly ages shouldn't even matter; a good name is a good name. If Jizz.com was released, scooped up, and was 1 day old there would be a lot of interest for it.
Some advice... if it does not sell here... just do your own research for an end user.
GFY is great for a quick sale, but the most lucrative sales come from contacting an end user directly.
Good luck.
