How should I approach buying my ideal domain name?
fgcc: BuyDomains is pretty good to deal with.  They are a buy and sell domain company, not buy and hold.Just make an offer on the low side of reasonable.  (recent sales:  http://dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm).If I was prepared to pay $2K for a domain,  I would start with an offer in the $800-$1.2 range.If they have a fixed price,  don't be afraid to offer 50% of their asking price.
