There’s a poll regarding the price of the domain name at http://pizza.com/pizza-forum/online-pizza-search-engine-gets-sold-for-2-6-million-t81.html

One must be crazy to offer that much for a website name. Good business for the seller, bad business for the buyer.

And I’m pleased for Chris Clark. What a nice, easy, and harmless way to make a lot of money. Good for him.

Everyone is going to visit the site to see what’s new there and that how they will kick off their new promo “Pasta Hut”

It seems they spent all of their money on buying the site and had nothing left to pay the designer.
