The general trend here seems to be that of increasing value. However, notice that these are all nouns, and what you've got here is an adjective. The nice thing about that is that is can be used for more things. Unfortunately, that's also a bad thing, since ccTLD's like this are usually only high sellers when the keyword is a targeted niche with high popularity.

Let's take a look at the overture scores for your keyword and a few of these sales:

1907 expensive
==============
1011971 lawyer
681063 video game
18314 ranking

So as you can see, how popular the keyword is has a strong effect in the value of .cc's (as it does with other extensions, however, MyBestFriends.com is more likely to have value than MyBestFriends.cc)

So I'd say expensive.cc has a value of around mid xx right now, especially since expensive kind of has a negative connotation. If you can turn the name into a positive one by, say, starting a blog with articles about expensive things that all of us middle class people want, then I think you'd get some more out of your money.

Hope this helps,
Jorge
 
wow- thanks for putting all that info into that reply jorge! now that was a well informed reply!
i agree with you- i couldn't help getting i though :-) i knew it meant not one popular thing, yet could be attributed to many popular things- and the .cc doesn't help- like i could ever afford expensive.com!
but, i figured if someone was interested- anyone could brand it- expensive cars, real estate, clothes, boats, ect...
reminds me of lifestyles of the rich and famous :-)
