Zero. Who needs to have this name so much that they would pay you anything for it? I take it nobody has sent you an unsolicited email offer for this name. What advantage does someone gain by using this name? Answer: None.

Those so-called similar sales you listed are not relevant. As usual, people list the best sales they have ever found, and not the ones for 30 bucks. Enron traded at 100, and it now worth zero. GM went bankrupt. MyrtleBeach.sc is far better than SouthCarolina.sc, but the buyer basically flushed 7K down the drain, as the name will get zero traffic, and they bought it solely to protect their VisitMyrtleBeach.com site, which it is forwarded to.

Wake up and figure it out. Keep living in fantasy land about these types of names and you will waste your life away. I can only imagine how many hours you have thought about this name. That is called wasting your life. I know how it goes. You sit around thinking that your domain portfolio is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and yet you can't give names away. Then, you want reassurance that the names are worth what you think they are, so you ask others what they think.

You already have the answer. If there was one person out of 7 billion on planet earth who really needed this name, they would simply email you and make you an offer. You are going to have to wake up and figure it out.

The only way people will learn is for me to sound a little arrogant when giving these appraisals. All I know is that when the prizes are given out in life, they aren't given out to the people who registered names like SouthCarolina.sc. If you think that the type of insight that creates the big wins in life is close to the thought process behind the registering of this name, then you are mistaken.

I sold Movies dot-sc about 5 years ago to a guy who published South Carolina movie listings, and I wish I could cite that as an example of a developed sc domain. But it doesn't seem to be resolving now.

WhoDatDog --you are tough lol.On what you told the_poet. I think I know where you're coming from tho. You're very bearish on domains and I have been for quite some time. I am considering dropping quite a few as they come due for renewal.

- looks like 'tough love' is what you think the_poet and others on here may need?

Guys, thanks for leaving your opinions.

WhoDatDog, your comment may sound harsh to many, but I appreciate it. Anyway I'm not a newbie who's spending his initial budget on some obscure extensions. I own an established portfolio of domains in much stronger TLDs and I'm just trying a couple of alternative ones. What I like in this domain is the fact that

1 - the TLD is not randomly choosen but, on the contrary, can be easily remembered as, for an american, it is natural to think of 'SC' when seeing 'South Carolina'.

2 - Google actually treats .sc (and few other ccTLDs) as a gTLD like .com, which means you can geotarget a particular country for the domain in Webmaster Tools (you can choose USA, Seychelles or leave it blank for a global geotargeting)
