How much should I offer for a domain name that I want?

I'm thinking semi-seriously about starting a business online (partnering with a local retail store) After thinking about what to call the online business for a while, I came up with a name, and when I checked the domain registration, I found that it was already taken. However, the website there is an unused blog without any posts at all. As a result, the website doesn't already get any traffic or show up on Google searches for the name.

I pinged the owner of the registration to see if she'd be open to selling it, and she said she is and that I should make her an offer.

The problem is, I have no idea how much to start with. $100? $500? $1000? I don't want to start so low that she doesn't take me seriously, but I also don't want to start so high that I could have offered much less.

    Find out how much it would have cost to buy the domain name if it was already available and offer in that region first.

    Or be brazen and ask how much she's is looking at and decide how much you want the domain name.

    it's depends how heavy and how worth the domain it is.

    e-mail me and I'll analyse for ya.

    usually common domain can be sold less than $10.

    where some good old expired domain can worth higher than $100.

    It's depends on the matter.
