Anybody know who’s actually using and profiting from buying pizza.com?

Maybe one of them top pizza chains?

Hi, I saw this post referenced at http://www.SubliminalMessages.Com and just wanted to say that these crazy prices are nuts! Who would pay that much for a .Com?

Yes, this price would be reasonable for a pizza chain.

And yes, Sedo should introduce some deposit for bids over $10,000…

I think that sounds pretty reasonable.
It is really hard to say exactly what needs to be done but it is pretty apparent that there is alot of frustration in the auction marketplace about “pseudo-Sedo” sales.

Hey, I know it’s not just Sedo… I had to make the word play. You know how crazy domaining will make you…

@ Don, Kelly –

Here’s another question. Let’s say the winning bidder comes through. What if the bidder just before him was fake?

This is more rational for charging some sort of deposit. I think you can get a “bond” for a small fee through a reputable party. Auctioneers in California have to post a bond with the state that can be taken by the state if there are any complaints about the auctioneer. Same idea here.

If you’ve bid on and won a high priced auction before, you are “confirmed” for bidding on big domains, otherwise you have to post some sort of bond or make a deposit.
