    I have just registered the domain hack. If you don't know what it is, have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack

    "Compras" means "Shopping" in Spanish. There are about 100,000,000 Google results. Great name for an online shopping site IMO.

    Foru.ms - Sold for $7,000
    Wi.Fi - Sold for $30,000
    Veg.as sold for a $1000
    Christm.as - $900 - Sedo
    Virus.es - $2,660 - Sedo
    Languag.es - $1,353 - Sedo
    Magaz.in $4,000 SEDO 2007
    De.af $360 Nov 08 Sedo Auction

    Wi.Fi - Sold for $30,000 --- This was too low price for such a great domain.

    Compr.as is also portuguese word for sales, maybe a good value for that :)

    its a very good domain name, specially since shopping comparison sites are very popular these days. i would say mid $x,xxx roughly about $4k - $6k+

    i think it would be worth a lot more if it was developed :) by the way good luck

    Only luck will decide, as for all of us. iT is nice domain. Compras means "buy" so is important keyword. I don't know what market says about such domains (doma.in) or if google can see word in it. Keep developing.

    I agree with the above about the importance of this keyword

    I would def hang onto this one. I think it could sell somewhere in the xxxx range

    I can even visualize a big company wanting this one. perhaps someone like buy.com for spanish marketing.

    I would have to disagree. I think it's a decent price for a domain hack, considering that Wifi.com would probably be worth around Mid $xxx,xxx IMO

    That's great news! But when I translate "sales" in Portuguese, it comes up as "Vendas". Is this correct?

    "Vendas" means sales and the exact translation for "compras" is "buyings", or "shopping" like you said . Verb "to buy" = "comprar"

    Its a very used word in Portugal and Brazil , and probably on countries that speak spanish aswell. Looks like a great domain

    So if you bought compr.ar (argentina?) - then that would be even better?

    As far as I know, you can't register 2nd level .ar names, only 3rd level like .com.ar
