How to buy a domain name currently owned if I can't pay too much?

Wise words .. when you hear from this guy ... LISTEN!

Noel, $250 is nothing in today's economy and domain industry.
Either wait until your budget is higher, or find an alternative. Usually end users know by now the worth of their domains and expect much more.

I really want to thank you again for your time and advice.

This weekend, I will send them an email, and ask for the domain offering (still considering $). I know that I will receive $150 next month, so I would have about $400, and that's one option, but I still believe that it may be risky to offer money if I won't be able to counteroffer too much, and on the other side wainting too much can be really bad. :?:

If the price is the minimum price, i think it's illogical to say "the price is...", so I expect the price is 500$, if not I won't be able to buy it.
:undecided:

I was looking on sedo, and I couldn't find the domain, so I don't know if it's an error or not from domaintools.



Yes, the price is "minimum offer" in afternic and "make offers" at sedo.

Good luck Noel! Although a low "minimum price" like $500 is usually set to bait interested buyers.. it's almost certain the buyer wants many times more.

Well, Isuppose he would sell the dmain preferably for 1000 than 500, but it's not the first time I buy a domain for a price I can afford and is less than the starting offer. However, this time is the first I do it with a more expensive domain. 500$ is far more than most domains are worth, however yo are comparing to premium ones, and I thin this is not one of them.
