Pizza.com sold for $2.6 Million

Having owned the domain name Pizza.com since 1994, Chris Clark finally sold it in an auction and ended up with $2.6PHP 153INR 220EUR 2CNY 19 Million. Generic domains still raking in tons of money.

His decision to sell was prompted after learning that Vodka.com was sold earlier for $3PHP 176INR 254EUR 3CNY 22 Million.

Don’t bother going to dotPH, the domains pizza.ph and pizza.com.ph are already taken/waitlisted.

I’ve been privy to a few other Filipinos making a killing off of selling domains. Some made a few thousand pesos while others came close to a million pesos.

Domain speculators are also hot on tracks as .ASIA domains came out to the public.

A poll we had here last February revealed people are stacking on domain names with record highs of up to a few thousands.

Anyone here sold had a domain already?

With this, I’m thinking of getting into the domain name business. I guess, its time to look for virgin names.

I bought Bahasa.asia, Indonesian national language. Will develop this and learn Bahasa in the process.

I choose Bahasa since it has more searches than any Filipino languages.

Animo, with that price, your domain should be popular one word dictionary names. And the “at” is killing the value. Even with just “Buyandsell.com” should just be below 100$k.

six php figures is ok for a generic .ph though if you want to hold on to it, hold on to it.
