From Slashdot:
the pizza.com domain name was sold for a ridiculous $2.6m bucks. Can there be a bubble and a recession at the same time, or do the two cancel each other out like Penn & Teller?
Here’s a recent picture of the submitter:
$2.6 Million is Ridiculous . . . ridiculously low.
Any big brand that didn’t buy it (Pizza Hut, Dominos) missed the boat. Even without being in the pizza industry, it’s easy to see how to turn pizza.com into a huge business.
Some (like the slashdot subby) balk at the price but whoever bought pizza.com for just $2.6 Million basically stole it. That’s so cheep for such an incredible domain name that I almost feel bad for the guy that sold it. Fortunately, he’s absolutely ecstatic about the price - so it’s a win-win for everyone involved.
