Just saw this on the bbc website, .com

wonder how many pizzas he can buy with that amount of money.

I also regret not buying more domains in the mid 90's. I even regret not buying more domains in the beginning of this century. I wonder if I in ten years will regret not buying more domains at this very moment.

If you do not buy now, you'll still regret in future.

just last week a guy bought five 3-letter .com domain names for 3500 total! There are still deals to be had. Btw - I think pizza.com was a steal at that price. Think of how much you'd be able to sell it for to some big national pizza chain.

Yeah, I thought that $2.5mil was too low. I think it could go for $30-50mil easily (yeah, I can easily be mistaken by several orders of magnitude, too).

Then again, I doubt a brand wants to buy this domain (except to redirect it to their brand site and get SE and type in benefits). A brand wants to build a brand, not to be a general pizza. Then again, if everyone starts associating "pizza" with "brand", then it'd be nice, too, eh?

I am not sure about that even sex.com didn't bring in more than 14 million dollars. According to this list only 36 domains have been sold for more than one million dollars.

2.6millions seems like the correct price for pizza.com, given the list.

Also look at this list

Thanks for the info, then I guess the price was right. Maybe the larger sums I had in mind related to total yearly income of domainers or something.

Just comparing it to the list of sites previously sold doesn't neccesarily give us a good idea of it's value. I mean do you think the owner of sex.com would sell it now for 14 million? I'm guessing not. Also, the .net domain is currently at 500k in an auction with 3 days left. I would certainly think that the .com is more than 4 or 5x more valuable than the .net (I believe the .coms usually go for 7-10x the .net).

In the end, any price that makes both seller and buyer happy is a good price, but I'm certainly not the only one that thinks it was a low price: http://seoblackhat.com/2008/04/05/pizzacom-stolen-from-some-schlep-for-just-26-million/

It's a sad, sad day when the domain shemale.com goes for more than a few bucks.

Also interesting - look at #66 (the second #66) and note the date. Then look at #8. lol Not a bad domain flip, huh?
