I've got my eye on one that estibot says is worth $210 and might have potential as a slang dictionary site. my only concern is that it's three word. (13 characters) Basic stats: yahoo: 799,000 google: 562,000. Should I be worried about length?

For me to buy a three word domain it needs to be really good, and normally convey some type of action - where it is a popular term and a user would search for it for a specific reason.
Or be a super premium 2 Word domain with something like "Online" at the end.
I bought a 3 word .com for my new company that I am launching soon. But I am going to build a brand, not just park a domain. It basically will depend on what your intentions are with the name. Park, develop, or brand. For parking id say move on and forget it, for development, if you know what your doing you can get away with it, and branding, you should be fine.
My most recent 3 word website (Online Flash Arcade [dot] net)
It also depends the length of the words and the actual words. If it is something like BuyACar.com, that is technically three words. Or something like CreditCardOffers.com, that is good also.
I would be wary about 3-word domains. Length is a factor but if there is an adjective in it, it's harder for some to remember. And if a site with such a domain becomes popular, you'll see a lotta copycats ie VeryGoodSite.com/ReallyGoodSite.com/VeryGreatSite.com etc. You could throw a C&D but it wouldn't be worth the hassles.
I didn't buy it, I fund an expiring domain at tdnam that I liked. 3 years old two words, both four letters, 9,720,000 results in google, fairly generic, estibot says $1,700. It was $10+ reg fee, if I get it I'll post it for appraisals.
i recently bought a four word domain (the longest domain i own) so i don't think three words is too much depending on what you plan on doing with it. for example, i wouldn't be using mine as a url shortening website. :hehe:
