Comment Tips for getting the domain at a good price (Score 1) 800
Act like a kid.
Register a new email address at live.com or gmail, timlikestheyankees@ or something that makes you appear young.
Send an email to the company that owns the domain, make it very laid back, again act like a kid. Say you want the name for a new band / a project / your sister's birthday and how much is it.
Make the email short and sweet, a lack of capitalisation and spelling will actually help here.
If its a domain theyve not had any interest in you should get an offer at a low price. If you sent an email all business like from a proper email account they'd try and ride you out for a higher amount. In their eyes some money is better than no money.
Worked for me in the past.

DJRikki writes: "From the great minds at TIME magazine online comes news that Slashdot (along with Ars Technica and others) have been listed in the "Top 5 overated blogs" on the internet.
"Reading Slashdot these days is like visiting the IT guy at work. He's infuriatingly smug and cares passionately about stuff you don't care about, and views your lack of interest as further confirmation of his intellectual superiority. Enjoy."
