I’ve heard a mini-discussion on .co’s in another area of this forum. “This extension is not ‘picking up’ based on what I'm seeing. I would recommend avoiding this ccTLD altogether.” I’m not picking on the guy who posted this but I think he might be really suffering from this belief. Many likely are, thinking that everything that isn’t .com is a gamble. Here, boys and girls, is some truth about .co. See, it's not what you believe. It's the facts that matter. And the facts are as they are:
In 2012, 99 .co's were reported via dnsalesprice.com to have been sold. Figures can be seen below:

Their average selling price? $2,700 each.
There are many factors that make a domain valuable. But there is too much evidence that .co is becoming a name of value. If you have a generic-term .co or perhaps a triple-premium LLL.co, consider paying that extra $10 or so for renewal fee. .co will likely never become .com but it’s selling like a mini-champ. I think it’s looking up--so far, there are no signs of its fall, if one’ll ever occur.
Edit: just to conclude: I'm saying that .nets sell more (99 .co's in 2012 vs 99 .nets in just a few months) BUT .co looks to be selling for better prices. And seeing as .co is easy to find @ NP, you should pick a few up--as long as they're decent.
