Whether or not you agree with pg, finding a decent .com is pretty cheap in terms of time and money when you have free domain name checking services that give you available .com variants of desired keywords. Even though I know this, I'm still always surprised when I see the 2-3 syllable .com domain names that I wanted, being available without auction or private seller inquiries.
Thats just not true. It's not some universal law you can apply. You have to take into considering the amount of time and what kind of name you have access to.

I'm not sure I understand. Free name checking services do take into account what names are available to you and they give you variants of your desired keywords. Results are returned in seconds. It takes a few hours at most to go through a bunch of keywords.
PG talks from a perspective that does not apply to most companies in this world.
Again if you get a .com name that is great. But whether it's worth the effort of finding one it if you don't have it already is another discussion all together.
