Being a registrar may not be fun, but domain auctions can still be. Pizza.com is up for grabs — that is, if you can come up with $2.6 million in the next 20 hours or so. Domain appraiser Zetetic says that 98 percent of names sell for under $10,000. But 15 percent of web traffic comes from people typing what they want right into the address bar, so college staples like pizza, vodka and sex fetch top dollar.
What would you like on that $2.6M dollar pizza? —
