Trying to purchase a name from NameView

[Paroin]

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with a problem I'm having. There's a domain name I want to purchase that is registered at NameView and is under IdentityShield. I've tried contacting the owner several times via email, with no luck. I was told most of the names at NameView are owned by NameView and that historically, they do not respond to inquires. Has anyone had a similiar experience and does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get in contact with them? I'm willing to pay well over the appraised value of the name, but that does no good if I cannot even speak with someone. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks much,
Paul

Distinguish yourself from the tire-kickers by offering serious money instead of the other 1000s of inquiries they get every month:

(polite flowery greeting)
"Is it for sale?
How much is it?
blabla...yada"

If not, I'm sure you'll live without it

Wrong. He needs to find out how much similar names sell at auctions (appraisals are worthless), then offer him this amount times 5. If no reply, double the offer. re-send. No reply, double again, re-send, etc.

If you get no reply, that means your offer is too low, end of story.

I have had no success with Nameview either.
IMO... show the money or get over it.

Thanks everyone for their thoughts and suggestions. I'm going to make my best offer and see what happens.

In the takeover market, the bidder will make an offer at premium over the current market price. Tire-kickers and bargain hunters don't apply this method and therefore fail to make progress in circumstances of this type. Rupert Murdoch secured the WSJ by paying a massive premium. KH may only be prepared to sell at end-user prices? where does that leave you? Your best offer might not be enough to twitch an eyebrow.
