Avoid 143.com??
That's a $xx,xxx name..

I don't think I agree that you should avoid numbers in domains, at least if they can add a meaning to the name and/or make it easy to remember.
360 has been quite popular in domains recently, and 123 in front of domains as well.

2. Avoid hyphens like i-love-you.com, etc.
Agree that you should avoid hyphens, at least don't have more than one of them.
One can be good for SEO (to separate keywords), but hyphens are quite useless if you plan to resell the domains..

3. Limit the words in a name from 1 to 3 like iloveyou etc.
1 word is great, 2 can be ok but 3 are generally bad (at least for resale value)..
