pizza.com on auction at sedo $2.5million - GoFuckYourself.com

roly · 03-30-2008, 11:08 AM

pizza.com is currently on auction at sedo and the price stands at over $2.5million and there's still 3 days to go. that sounds way over priced if you ask me.

camgirlshide · 03-30-2008, 11:40 AM

did someone bid that or is that the starting number?

sevent · 03-30-2008, 11:42 AM

Why? How big is the Pizza business? How much would it be worth to own the category leading name forever? Or to direct what must be thousands of potential online delivery orders every day? Price seems quite reasonable to me.

It is going to get a lot bigger than that! Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, Roundtable, CPK et al will all be bidding.

Fap · 03-30-2008, 11:49 AM

NOT way over priced at all if you ask me. Perfect domain.. "hey i want pizza.. pizza.com"

DateDoc · 03-30-2008, 11:52 AM

The people bidding pay that much for a 30 second Super Bowl commercial. This is still a good buy to them.

Jai · 03-30-2008, 11:54 AM

sedo is full of shitttttt 99% of the time

Iron Fist · 03-30-2008, 11:54 AM

anyone with a national pizza chain will be very interested in that domain... 2.5 million compared to some advertising budgets of those chains is a drop in the bucket...

crockett · 03-30-2008, 12:35 PM

Seems to me that is pretty damn low.. A major company would think nothing of spending 2.5 million for a prime location to build a brick and mortar store.

For Pizza's there can't be any better location on the net than that..

Correct

GrouchyAdmin · 03-30-2008, 12:52 PM

By jove, that seems like a perfect domain to sell pickles.
What about beer?
Brilliant!
Brilliant!

alexweb · 03-30-2008, 12:57 PM

2.5 mil is not over priced

Mutt · 03-30-2008, 12:57 PM

it's a bargain i think at that price.

imagine developing that site so anybody anywhere in the world can order a pizza from his pick of pizza shops in every city and town in the world.

xxxRumor · 03-30-2008, 01:14 PM

$2.5 million is pocket change for big corps.

Dominos for exampe:

That's what I was thinking. Something like http://www.just-eat.com but geared towards the American market should do well with a domain like that.

Sly · 03-30-2008, 01:26 PM

Last night I was watching a show about pizza in the United States. Not only is it the second favorite food of Americans... the frozen pizza industry alone is worth over $3 billion a year just in the United States.

That domain is gold. It could go so many different ways.

Pizza Hut probably has the most money behind them... Pepsi should be gobbling that up.

KILL_FRENZY · 03-30-2008, 02:04 PM

impressive

themonk · 03-30-2008, 02:12 PM

or right now!

sevent · 04-03-2008, 08:37 AM

2 hours left in the auction. Up to 2.6MM now. n5.com looks like a good deal too at 20k. Not many 2 char names for that price.

webair · 04-03-2008, 09:28 AM

worth every penny!

fris · 04-03-2008, 09:33 AM

1 hour and 27 mins left

soulboy · 04-03-2008, 09:36 AM

it looks so overpriced to me

Eriic · 04-03-2008, 10:12 AM

It is very reasonable. It's worth way more than 2.5 mill.

karlm · 04-03-2008, 10:14 AM

That seems like a great price but what would i know lol

ztik · 04-03-2008, 10:17 AM

2.5 is worth it as long as one of the major players buys it

Looks like it sold for $2,605,000

woj · 04-03-2008, 11:15 AM

That's a pretty fair price for someone who is in the pizza biz

Matt 26z · 04-03-2008, 11:24 AM

tiger · 04-03-2008, 11:42 AM

They spend that much on 1 or 2 ads. Why wouldn't it be worth it for them to get the best domain for their biz.
