Email Justin Murgo jmurgo at buydomains dot com - he's a reasonable sales rep of theirs (I've purchased 3-4 domains from him at far below their list). I agree with the post stating that you can sometimes get a domain for 1/10 what they have it listed.

This sounds like the best advice. Email the guy mentioning that he was recommended. Then negotiate from less that a grand to as much as you're willing to pay, never exuding urgency.

Don't lose sleep planning/hoping to snag the domain if/when it drops. It won't. Businesses don't abandon inventory.
