I'm not sure what to do here:
There's a .com domain name I'm wanting to buy. By the looks of it, nothing has ever been done with it since it was first registered in 2003. An alternative TLD is available, but as the .com expires next month, I'm tempted to wait.
Do I get in touch with the owner to see if he plans to renew (and risk him renewing on the basis that there's somebody wanting to buy it), or do I wait and see if he lets it lapse, then buy it when it becomes available?
