That's quite a slice!
Friday, April 4. 2008
Everybody's been following the pizza.com auction these past few days, as the bids piled up and the price rose above the 2 million USD mark.
Well, the auction ended last night (French time) and the previous owner has got to be ecstatic with the final price: 2.6 million!
The domain's first owner is a one Christopher Clark who lives in Maryland and was tracked down by the Baltimore Sun newspaper. Clarck explained that he'd bought the name in 1994 (on July 17th according to the name's WHOIS) in a bid to get some consultancy work for his company from a local pizza firm. Clark sold his company in 2000 but kept the name.
There's a decision he probably doesn't regret today…
Auction watching is getting to be a great sport these days. After the fun I had tracking pizza.com as it scaled to ever increasing heights before finally making its previous owner's fortune, I've now got a new hot sale in my sights. Dollars.com is current
