Too 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-26...

incidentally, I don't see how the pizza.com owner is going to recoup his investment

Yes, 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.
