domain Ropa.biz (Spanish for clothes) - Appraisals please!

Picked this up off the drop earlier.

It's obviously a strong keyword, but my question really is around the extension.

Does .biz work in Spanish? It is taken is pretty much all extensions, many of which are English derivatives like biz.

It sounds nice in a Spanish accent, but I don't think that is a factor :P.

Furthermore, what kind of price should I put on this in your opinion?

I have an idea but as always would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks.

Hi, .biz domains in general terms are not used in Spain or Europe. The .biz is in fact very American domain name and doesnt relate to Spanish internet. The main domain extension used in Spain is the .ES and .COM, then .NET and .ORG. Hope this helped you..

Gracias Papaformigas!

I do see biz fairly often here in Northern Ireland too so it may be shaking off its American origins somewhat. But yeah - it would be a lot nicer in .es (or even .mx arguably).

I guess I'll have to work with what I have got.

.biz has not been a popular TLD for a long time. With the introduction of a massive amount of new TLD's there is no indicator that .biz will regain popularity in the foreseen future. I have little knowledge about Spanish words and .biz, but anything in the $xxx range should probably be considered a good offer.

Very good point Fancube. Thanks.
