Question, clearly this is cyber squatting but wanted to get everyone's thoughts and or experience with this issue.
We own palmspringsflorist.net, I've inquired several times about palmspringsflorist.com which is privately owned. The asking price is 5k, which is ridiculous. This is the message I got back from the broker, let me know what you guys think, especially if you have experience with this.

i wish i could help you but i'm inclined to think even best case scenario we're going to need to at least get to the owners $4,1000 reserve price in order to reach an agreement on an outright purchase deal...
if you want to consider the rental model i could likely get that done for you around $120/per month... you would have full exclusive rights on the name for as long as you wish based on a 10% rate increase annually and then perhaps purchase the domain out at some point down the road.
the issue at hand here is that we're dealing with a client who also has their own underlying interests in the domain... flowers is one of several niche/verticals they had the foresight to invest heavily in very early on and over the last 15 years they've gone to great lengths to acquire dozens of great flower/florist domains, the majority being geo-specific like this one and at some point they will have the framework in place to turn these all into lead gen content sites in bulk so they're simply more concerned with what the longer term value represents if they were to hold onto the names themselves opposed to selling them off early at wholesale prices .
please let me know if i can be any further assistance
