Pizza.com for 2.6 Million USD

If this gets through escrow and finalizes, what do you guys think of this sale price? Personally i thought it would have been in the 3-5 million range.

you expected it to climb that high because you saw early high bids. But would you expect it to sell for $5M before the auction started? My guess is no

$2,6M is a fair price for an end user IMO

Great price given the general financial market conditions. That cash flow would work for me for a month or two.

I think this domain would of done better at TRAFFIC... Plus, the way Sedo runs the show their, I wouldn't expect to see payment. I have had 4 non-paying bidders just in 2008 already. I hope for the seller, that payment is made, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

LOL

Although Batman's gutted as he regged it back in the day and let the biatch drop, as the internet was meant to be 'free man' and no-one would buy it

Congrats to both.

It came close to what vodka.com sold for.

I wonder what Dominos or Pizza Hut spends on advertising each year?

It's a nice sale.
That said, I expected it to go a lot higher considering that there were 4 or 5 bidders above the $2M level a couple of days ago.
