Me and a friend was browsing for a domain to buy in '95. Cars.com and a lot of stuff like that was available but "who would ever be interested in something that generic?". Starwars.com was available but then George Lucas would have been pissed off, so... We ended up buying pizza for the money instead. It was great pizza.
- alapshah 15y agoToo bad you didn't buy the Pizza.com domain name instead of an actual pizza, because it sold for $2.6 million! http://www.newser.com/story/23394/pizzacom-name-sells-for-26m.html http://www.newser.com/story/23394/pizzacom-name-sells-for-26... incidentally, I don't see how the pizza.com owner is going to recoup his investment
- martinkallstrom 15y agoYes, it's too bad. And yet, when I find that a domain like "programmers.ph" is available for registering, I think to myself "who will ever be interested in something that generic?". It still is, grab it if you want. Hindsight is 20/20, it is impossible to know now where scarcity will inflate prices through the roof.
