How to Approach Twitter User With Name I Want?

    Anyone have experience with this?

    I bought what I think is a pretty brandable 5 letter .com and would like to coordinate social with everything else as I roll it out.

    The guy with the name is very inactive, only follows like 10 people, has 1 follower and doesn't seem to be on much at all.

    What would be the best way to come at him and ask about him giving it up? Ideally he would just deactivate since he doesn't use it, but I would not really want to pay much money at all. How do I get him to want to help me out?

    if you don't want to pay much money for the twitter username you want and is used by another twitter user,
    that clearly means that name is worth nothing to you
    hence
    forget the name NOT worth much money to you
    and do like all world = take a twitter username that is freely available

    You're right that it's not worth that much to me. Like you said I can get another. Too bad that is not what the thread is about. I asked if anyone has experience/advice with this type of negotiation. You obviously do not. Thanks and have a nice day.
