They already owns foobar.co.uk, .biz etc foobar.com is registered but is parked with a resale company with a price of $300 My friend thinks "great, lets buy it". He has emailed the registrant and written to them with an offer of $300 several times and had no response. Sometimes you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
