A handful of .cc one word domains have sold recently at Afternic, setting a price point at about $100.
.cc domains, the country code domain for Cocos Islands, have never gained favor among web users. Initially they cost a bundle to register, but now you can register them for about the same price as mainstream domains.
Owners of .cc domains that are wondering about their value just need to look at a handful of recent sales at Afternic:
actors.cc $75
drinks.cc $75
sticker.cc $80
hike.cc $115
OnlineCollege.cc $100
Wind.cc $90
There are also some ongoing auctions:
prototype.cc $75
tofu.cc $100
organizer.cc $75
Given this data set we can say with good confidence that the “reseller” price for decent one word domains in the .cc domain extension are worth about $100.
Why would anyone buy a .cc domain? The same reason you buy other one word domains in unfavorable extensions — such as .ws — search engines still love them! These domains are great if you plan to create a site that gets the bulk of its traffic from search engines.
