Pizza.com being sold for a hot and spicy $3 million
Chris Clark is lucky guy with a lot of patience.
The software consultant from Maryland bought the name pizza.com for $20 in 1994, when the Web was new and uncharted territory.
Now he’s selling it at auction, and will probably fetch somewhere in the vicinity of $3 million.
Some guys have all the luck, especially if they bought a generic name like business.com or fund.com. Those also brought big bucks.
Anybody want to sit at their computers tonight and type in generic names? Who knows, maybe there’s still one out there unclaimed.
