Pizza.com for 2.6 Million USD - Page 4 - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Yet... the media coverage of the pizza.com "sale" has come and gone, and the impact on the domaining industry has been felt.

How long will it be before the mainstream market *truly* catches on to the vagaries and shill world that accompanies 6,7 and 8 figure domain names ?

Hold and develop. It's worked for us for 10+ years

I'm not sure why everyone is saying that the whois has changed to a private registration. It's been a private registration for many years. The only difference now is that Chris Clark's name isn't on it.

Sedo should advise perhaps?

**austinandrew** · 05-02-2008, 10:23 AM

I just talked to them. No update on their end...still in transfer. Just wrote an article on Domain Name Wire about it.

That's misleading. It takes less than a day to push at Network Solutions. It's also locked. It's not transferring anywhere. The guy is still getting traffic from the fake sale. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...3m&size=Medium

Most of the big sales that are done at Traffics take several weeks to go through Escrow. Why should this be any different. Domains like this don't just get pushed! Coming up with $2.6million is going to take a few days. Have you ever tried to cash a cheque for that amount?

Several week gone by. Too bad you gullibles didn't take me up on my $100 wager in my earlier post in this thread. Mahouni does owe me $500DNF though.

**Rubber Duck** · 06-22-2008, 01:44 AM

Yeah, disappointing, but I could still see this domain being worth big money. In my book it is still a far better domain than Candy.com.

**petrosc** · 06-22-2008, 06:48 AM

you bet it is. Imagine what a pizza restaurant chain that has restaurants all over the world (like dominos or hut) can do with it. They can take pizza delivery orders from all corners of the world

**Rubber Duck** · 06-22-2008, 07:13 AM

Yep, in just over a weeks time I will no doubt be eating some in good old Czech Republic.

Seems to go down better with Staroprammen!

**petrosc** · 06-22-2008, 07:18 AM

yep, and not just staropramen! You'll get a big selection of even better beers down here

Drop me a line when you are in Prague and I'll show you around

**Rubber Duck** · 06-22-2008, 07:21 AM

I am sorry, we won't be stopping in Prague. We're straight on the Pendalino for Ostrava. My partner is from Opava.

Busy week I am afraid, what with Family, Renovations on our new home to sort out and a Wedding to go to things will be pretty hectic!

**Repete** · 07-01-2008, 08:57 AM

Think pizza really did sell to an ad agency in Philadelphia.
http://www.nationala-1.com/ I beleave this is the companies homepage.
We need to confirm if this is true or not.

**-ET-** · 07-01-2008, 10:42 AM

Yeah whois changed to National A-1 Advertising .but i don't think they were the ones who bid on sedo for 2.6 mil $.the bidder @ sedo backed out?.

Sounds like a private sale. Those guys own many amazing domains.

**domain54326** · 07-01-2008, 11:31 AM

selling price is public or private?

**-ET-** · 07-01-2008, 12:20 PM

The price of private sale seems way below the price which was reported on sedo.it was being discussed in the exclusive forum.

No doubt. Mr. Clark would of been smarter to hold on to it for a while longer and he might possibly been able to get even more than 2.6 but I'm guessing A-1 came along and offered him close to one million and being disappointed with how the sedo sale turned out, took it.

**Seraphim** · 07-01-2008, 03:01 PM

Does anyone know why the initial sales of both Pizza.com and Israel.com fell through? Were the auctions sabotaged by completely illegitimate bidders? I ask because one would assume that genuine verified bidders would end up getting sued for not completing the transaction, yet there doesn't seem to be any word of that happening so far as I know.
