Twitter for SEO: how to buy a username off someone?

Hello!

Believe it or not, my client is looking to optimize their twitter name for their keyword. They have their domain name already picked out, but the same keyworded twitter name is taken.

The Twitter account is abandoned. 1 following, 6 followers, 0 tweets. Chances are, this person does not care to own the account.

My client is willing to pay $50 and up to $100 for that twitter user name. Only problem is, there is absolutely no contact information on that page for that person.

Is there a way to contact a twitter user who is not following you and/or who has neglected their twitter account?

Would twitter inc. be helpful in this if we contacted their corporate office, or not? Thanks!

Maybe if you contact Twitter they can verify the account is abandoned or a squatter. you have only one way.

Wish me luck in getting these usernames! We'll be contacting twitter today. <from twitter name policy>
Note that we will not release inactive or squatted usernames except in cases of trademark infringement.

Attempts to sell, buy, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for usernames are also violations and may result in permanent account suspension.

Since this name is not infringing on anything they may not let you have it, since they had it first

I think this happened to John Chow, some how a year or so later he was able to get JohnChow on Twitter.
