As per as I know domain name very importance for any website for several sense. And for establish brand name, domain name very importance. Beside your domain name will help to other for searching according to what they want. And I think on-page SEO should start with domain name too. But, what you will do, if you do not get domain name of your choose? I think you will not leave the name, if you do not find domain name with your existing brand. And may go for buy from other who already purchased before you, I mean from current owner. And it is common sense that person who you will see the listed, he should charge more then as normal price.
On the other hand, you have to try to get other similar alternative domain name with cheap price. And that should be best option for you.
So, what will you do? Will you go for purchase domain from current purchaser with high price for establish brand name? Or , Will you go for search alternative domain with cheap price?
Share your thought.

If you can't get the domain name you want, you'll either have to settle for a different one and brand it or you can play the legal game :D
[u][b]Similar but different domain:[/b][/u] I've done this a lot because someone who owns a domain I want, is trying to sell it to me for a ridiculous price. One domain owner told me $25,000 just for the domain name I wanted and I laughed at him over the phone and hung up. I soon found a domain that was similar to the one I wanted to buy and branded it myself. Doing this is usually a better route because you save a huge amount of money. My domain had two words in it and one was an adjective. The first domain was taken so all I did was change the adjective to something similar until I found a domain that was available. I purchased the new domain and spent a little extra on domain privacy. What's even funnier is that after about 6 months I had the first domain owner contact me and let me know that he had his domain for sale and wanted to know if I were interested. I responded with "No thanks, I don't want to pay $25,000 for your domain when I branded this one on my own" he didn't respond back because he remembered who I was :D
[u][b]The Legal Game:[/b][/u] If you want to go the legal route when a domain is taken but the person either doesn't want to sell it or they're asking for a ridiculous amount of money in exchange for it, you can always contact a lawyer. If you business name is trademarked and the domain owner won't give up the domain, you can pretty much force them to do so through legal action. Normally you can get the domain for a couple hundred, sometimes $1,000+ if you're feeling nice. If you look up a domain and the person is selling it for too much, you can look to see if it's trademarked. If there isn't a trademark, you can register for one and once you're approved, you can force the person to sell you the domain for pennies :D

That's a very interesting story. This guy trying to get twenty five thousand dollars from you, so you can have the domain name. And then in the long run finding a similar domain, and branding it. It's quite hilarious too, especially after he contacted months later, and didn't realize it was you until you mentioned the amount he wanted for it. LOL
This is why people try to find alternative domains, ridiculous prices, and it's just best to think of alternatives that will fit your desired domain name. But if you have a business, and a name that really can't be changed it's much harder to actually get the domain name that is the same as your business name. :(
