| Do we even know if this is an end user? This could be a domainer who thinks s/he can sell it for more.

| to be honest, my take is, either the seller is very naieve and has no idea how hopeless sedo are, OR sedo have told him the name of buyer.
If it's pizza hut or Dominos or the like then he must know he will get paid.
you'd want to be certain before running to all the papers imho
thats why it must be the top two options i suggest imho

| Interesting, pizza.com registrant has changed to (Registration, Private)
This maybe confirming a deal conclusion in the works.

| This is like a spy thriller.
The for sale sign is gone from the pizza.com home page!

We all knew that was going to happen, that was a bloated "sale" if I ever seen one. | |

| This is the down fall of SEDO – they have so many dead beat bidders and they actively encourage it by not legally pursing them or at least closing their accounts.
I know for a fact, that a deadbeat bidder on a domain of mine kept his account and continues to bid, having now knowingly failed to pay on 2 names. By Sedo doing nothing, encourages more deadbeat bids, to the point it appears the site is riddled with them.
I can not believe that an auction house would not check the validity of any bidder, placing a bid above $20,000 – Sedo must only get a handful of these a week and therefore its not to time consuming to do some background checks and pays 10 fold in increasing the perceived trust, in the brand ‘SEDO’.
My guess is the $2.6million is history and Sedo are contacting the earlier bidders to see if they can find a genuine bid from those: this has also happened to me twice at Sedo being contacted on a name I lost in auction because the winner didn’t pay up!
Heading for a fall sedo because the quality names will not be listed with them as people lose trust in sedo. | |
