Actually, the original question is:

"What Order Do you rate TLD's ?"

That can vary in what you are rating them for.

Ease of selling long term: com
Highest Pricing: com
Most versatile for any use: com/net/info (in that order)
Highest Cost of Acquision: com
Ease of finding good generics: info/us/biz
Return on investment for quick sale: info
International acceptance for "new" TLD: info
Currently Hot: info
Good buys for holding long term: info/biz
Biggest longshots .ws/.cc
Easiest to find unregistered gems: us/biz
Best for small business when there isn't a chance in hell of getting the .com: net/biz/info
Best for non-business organizations: org/info/net (worst - biz)
Lowest acquision cost: biz/us (Enom has been $4.95 lately)
Best for non-english words: com/info/net/org

Personally, Year to date, I've sold more info than anything because I have more "high quality" names in that TLD (one word, 3-letter). I've pretty much quit acquiring .orgs, but will pick up good biz names that have potential BUSINESS use for smaller business. I think non-business biz names are almost worthless since they don't make sense.

I know com is best, but I don't like investing that much in a single name to get them based on what drops are going for these days. I find it's better to buy infos for $8-50 and sell for $100-500 than spend $200 on one com and hold for a long time or sell for $400. I can hold on to a $10 name for a few years without a lot of investment, but a $300 name just sitting there is hard on cash flow. It's also very easy to get people to part with <$300 for the secondary TLD's than for or five figures for coms.

.se (maybe even before .com, depending on the name)
.net
.nu

EXTENSIONS

Extensions are categories of Internet domain names. There are several of them to choose from:
.com represents the word "commercial," and is the most widely used extension in the world. Most businesses prefer a .com domain name because it is a highly recognized symbol for having a business presence on the Internet.


.net represents the word "network," and is most commonly used by Internet service providers, Web-hosting companies or other businesses that are directly involved in the infrastructure of the Internet. Additionally, some businesses choose domain names with a .net extension for their intranet Websites.


.org represents the word "organization," and is primarily used by non-profits groups or trade associations.


.biz is used for small business Web sites.


.info is for credible resource Web sites and signifies a "resource" web site. It's the most popular extension beyond .com, .net and .org.


.us is for American Web sites and is the newest extension. It has the largest amount of available names in inventory.


.cc was originally the country code for Coco's Keeling Islands. It is unrestricted and may be registered by anyone, from any country.


.bz was originally designated as the country code for Belize, but is now commonly used by small business who can't get the name they want using the .biz extension. It is unrestricted and may be registered by anyone, from any country.


.tv is for rich content/multi-media Web sites, commonly used within the entertainment or media industry.


.gs is the country code for the South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands. It is unrestricted and may be registered by anyone, from any country.


.ms is the country code for Montserrat. It is unrestricted and may be registered by anyone, from any country.


.tc is the country code for the Turks & Caicos Islands. It is unrestricted and may be registered by anyone, from any country.


.vg is the country code for the British Virgin Islands. It is unrestricted and may be registered by anyone, from any country.
