Find another one.

Don't get fixated on things. A business must evolve and adapt in order to succeed. If you are stubborn about a simple name, the web domain is the least of your worries.

Yes, we are working on that.

But, the odds that the other ideas we can have in a .com are still already taken are pretty high. I will be thinking that's a common issue.

Yeah in all likely hood any other .com's will be parked but as you mentioned in your post similar domains are selling for $1400 or around the price you are happy to pay. If this one broker is asking way to much move on and find a different .com that you can afford.
