Pizza.com Officially Didn't Sell

[Michael]

Just got an email from Sedo:

Good afternoon, everyone,

I am pleased to announce that Pizza.com is available for sale! The asking price is $2,600,000 USD. Expressions of interest should be faxed to Sedo.com LLC, c/o Christian Kalled, at +1.617.812.1276.

All other inquiries may be directed to [email protected]. Thank you!

Christian P. Kalled

Guess Lorenzo's contact was right

Those started out as brands and became common words, what you're talking about is the other way around. That would be like having Water brand water, or Food brand food. I think you'd have a hell of a time getting a TM, much less enforcing it.

Their brand name could be "Pizza.com" rather than Pizza, like Toys.com or Pets.com.

What about one of the frozen pizza manufacturers? What about Jerry's or CPK? Or maybe a directory of pizza places, like a geo name, pizza places pay to list their locations on pizza.com. Build the name out as an internet business.

Also, a couple million dollars should not be a lot to a huge multinational corporation. It would maybe take a while to pay itself off with typeins, but they would own the asset for life (at $7 a year), and they could write-off the expense immediately.

Have you confirmed this? There is no point of talking about this unless being confirmed.

Yes, I confirmed this with Sedo's cheif negotiator. He said "The previous transaction hit a road block and did not go through."

Thanks
Sedo missed huge commission.

Wouldn't it be sensible for the likes of Sedo to immediately announce hiccups like this instead of continued speculation by the sceptics etc who had already guessed the outcome.

Come on Sedo and the rest of you, front up with information when it is available, you would be appreciated and accepted for professionalism.

Hitting a road block - what sort of answer is that :td:

I'm sure they tried, but the second bidder probably didn't want it.

Yeah who would after fake bids apparently drove the price up and extra $million?

I am pleased to announce that Pizza.com is available for sale!

Sure they're pleased...loss of a half million in commission? I don't think so.

That's right.
