opinion What do you think about .es hacks?

Several years ago I bought a nice keyword .ES - great except it was registered with a Spanish registrar. The legal requirements of holding the domain required me to submit a copy of my driver's license. The renewals were much higher than .Com and there were some other technical difficulties associated with the renewal. I did the first renewal a few months after the acquisition but when the second renewal came I said forget it - not worth the hassle. Spanish is not my native tongue but my wife and I speak it at home as she is from Colombia. If . ES domains could be registered at Godaddy and renewals were $25 or less I would consider it.

Ohhh these lovely .es domains )))))))))) I am in love with them.
I have sugarbabi.es

Hi domain wizards!

I could registar for free an .ES domain and I choosed for a hack:
Sweetpotato.es

Do you think this domain is worthwhile or it is better to choose dictionary words related with the TLD (spanish in that case)?
Help me out with your thoughts.

Thanks a lot!

Sweetpotato.es is a fun name. But, unless you want to develop a website for it yourself, it might be hard to find users interested in buying it.

From what I've seen thus far, .es hacks work better with single words or with two short words.

P.S.: sugarbabi.es is fun, too.
