    Hi all,

    I'm looking to get a domain name secured by someone who has it but does not seem to use it for much, I have tried a facility on go daddy to see if they will sell it, maybe they are using it for e mail or something, anyway this domain would be handy but I dont know how owns it or how to go about asking them for it/making them a small offer.

    Anyone got any advice, the go daddy approach was paid for by me but it was ignored by the domain owner.

    regards

    Several companies offer this kind of service. The bigger players are very reputable and since they are "neutral" they can usually get the domain at the best price
