We had this happen too. The domain holder wanted thousands and we eventually just gave up. If it is a private individual who holds the domain, you might be able to barter with them for it, or offer to finance the purchase and transfer of their domain to a different one. If its professional squatters, my guess is that you'll end up paying them or moving on.
