Most of the posts I saw here were about selling domains, however I want to buy one for my own use.
I previously tried to contact the owner, who is apparently in South Korea. I never received any response. I even had a friend in Korea try to call the listed number through a Korean speaking friend, but they couldn't reach anyone. I'm not sure if they tried really hard or anything, but at least they left a message, no response.
I put in a relatively low offer at Sedo.com just to see what they would say but they said they wanted me to increase my bid to $5,000. I might be willing to pay this amount, but my price range is more like $3,000. I am trying to get the .com but I already have the .us so paying for a .com instead of a .us is only worth so much to me personally. The owner is not currently using the domain and I would say the domain is slightly "niche," that is, it's not obviously related to online commerce or a specific place or type of business, however it's a single word in English so that is part of its value.
Anyway, any recommendations for the best broker/brokers when it comes to buying domains? Should I try to continue with Sedo or go elsewhere? In my case, I think it would have to be a broker with some decent resources, since we might have to use someone who can negotiate in Korean.
