In general,

.info, .biz and .us domains are now almost in range of .net and .org. But .com is still "unbeatable"

.ws, .cc and .cn domains are 3 of the best ccTLDs (besides .us) for buying, but they are not even close to the value of .net, org, biz, info and us. Not to mention .com.

But do not make mistake: some generic .ws, .cc and .cn names can be worth much more than "average" .com, .net, .org ...

.info is gaining ground, particularly in the german market. See:

.INFO and .US seem to have solid potential.

Notice the .sc TLD in the above very popular whois site.

This is of interest to the posted topic and, IMHO, points out that content is king regardless of name!

No doubt ... development and great content (such as above) can overcome the inherent "$0.00 - Reg. fee+ (domain name only)" in most lousy extensioned domain names, IMHO.
Teeny bit off topic here, but good note. :tu:
Have a great domain night.
