It depends on the keyword, If you have poker.cc, you can make few thousand bucks but if you have free-insurance-life.com then it isn't worth even reg fee.

You really need top keywords and they are not easy to sell.
.cc is a vanity TLD.

But I am biased and I don't own any .cc
That being said the big money is in .com and not in exotic extensions.

.cc isn't worth much and that is their advantage.
Because you make money by buying low and selling high.
Domainers who think that .com is the only thing worth owning
lost out big time during the run up in value of the .us and will
lose out as .cc goes up in value as well. com is overvalued
and i won't waste my time with them.

The best way to get a .cc is to find drops of high quality names
as no one is paying any attention to .cc drops.

dna actually made some good point. It is true that .cc domains are being ignored. most domainer don't see the future value of .cc. I own a few dozen .cc myself because I see the potential in them that most domainers don't so when they drop and when it caught my eye I tend to grab some of it. Maybe domainers are right that there isn't much value in reseller but my target buyer for my domains aren't for the reseller but for the end user. There's a big price difference between that two.

I guess to answer your question is that when you see that the LLL.cc caught your eyes it means that you see the potential of that domain. You could have a nice piece of LLL.com that is not develop and worth let say $5K and develop a LLL.cc that could make $5K a year or more. Now you tell me which domain is more valuable?

My bottom line is that the value of domain is what you make out of it.

The further down the name hierarchy you get, the stronger your names need to be to be sellable. Good keywords will have value in almost any extension, but the value change is exponential. The vanity TLD's like .cc and .ws could be a place to make money if you know what you're doing. If you can buy for $25 and sell for $200 and find them easily then there is profit in it. Just don't expect to buy for $25 and sell for $2500. I personally have a few, but I stick to are pretty strong ones like these, usually one or very strong two worders:

employees.cc
seats.cc
baptist.cc
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=321529
instruments.cc
expired.cc
rockband.cc
dropship.cc

I'd rather have a super .cc than a nonsense three word .com with two hyphens. If you price them right, they will sell eventually.

I don't think LLL.cc domains have much value yet. Acronyms are mostly used by companies as short versions of their company name. Most companies don't really consider .cc as a viable option. However, I think these same companies might make a promotional site on a good .cc or even one of their products using the generic product name. If nothing else, they would park it on their .com just as a vanity alternative.
