I simply advised him to tell the seller that your developer and team the URL was not that important and that maybe in a few years to contact him again... if not... he would be prepared to buy it for the price on godaddy which was around 10$. Guess what? the seller dropped his bid from 2k down to 10$ realizing he would at least get his initial investment back and not take a loss. Now the webmaster owns all the variations of his domain and didnt get ripped off

not true - sometimes a web name just hits the spot for someone. Hell, I even had one change the name of his magazine, because my domain (liveuk) was more appropriate for them. They paid handsomely, because it was a great name. Everyone was happy.
--edit, and I did zero to push the sale of that domain. It just sat there gathering dust for 2 years.
