prior to reading your post I had already searched out newvillages and new village. I have a subscription to business 2.0 and think its funny you have this name! As for the value I am not sure the .us extention has much value at the moment, you may be waiting a long time before its worth something. Newvillages.com would be something, but that extention was registered years ago. I would say regfee now----> more later. Don't be discouraged though, i own many future tech names that many people appraise at next to nothing, mostly because they look at ovt score, and see how many results searches yield... if you want to make money in domains, especially now with over 30,000,000 registered every month, you need to anticipate the future. Keep up the research!
