A guy in the US has just flogged the Pizza.com domain name for a cool £1.3m, which he purchased back in 1994 and has been maintaining each year for just £10.

Chris Clark, from Baltimore in the US, thought buying the domain name would allow him to boost his consulting business with a large pizza outfit but it never happened. After hearing that the Vodka.com domain name sold for $3 million in 2006 he decided to try his luck.

After putting it up on eBay, bidding started at $100 and ended at $2.6 million from an anonymous bidder.

A shocked Clark told the Baltimore Sun newspaper: "It's crazy, it's just crazy."

His only regret is that he didn’t buy more domain names back in the 1990s. Don’t we all.-Martin Lynch
