re: 'what they receive': 'they are afraid to take the next step' doesn't feel right. of course they are afraid (that's why they're using the site) but it doesn't put them in a good light, right from the beginning. alternatives: a) make it seem like only really cool, confident people use this site b) make fun of it, 'this is a site for super shy people who are actually really cool on the inside but have social anxiety...but you should still give them a chance!'

thanks all, I'll let you know how it goes

How much should I offer for a 5-letter URL?

My start-up came up with a pretty good name, and the URL is currently owned, but vacant. It is set to expire 22-Apr-2010.Should I: a) wait to see if they drop it, and then try to buy it b) make an offer now c) if b, how much should I expect to pay?Any thoughts are appreciated
