Should I buy or wait?

Alright, here's the situation. I emailed the owner of bleachfans.com wanting to buy the site. Later I did a whois and found the domain only had till October 19 (next Friday) until it expires. The owner replied to me and said that he had 45 days until it expired and asked how much my offer was.

Should I wait till next week and just buy the domain once it expires, or should I go ahead and buy it from him now just to be safe?

If the latter, what do you think a good price would be for the entire site, and for just the domain? The thing I'm interested in most is the domain but I figured might as well take the phpbb database since theres probably only 1000 non-spam posts so it wouldn't take the price up much and would give me 2000+ members to email when I start the forums back up.

Things to keep in mind: Bleach is an incredibly popular anime so the domain could be worth quite a pretty penny, I'm not sure if the owner knows this or not. Any help is appreciated.

Just to add to this, I guess the main thing I'm looking for is what kind of offer you think I should give the guy. Any advice is appreciated!

bleachfans.com wouldnt be worth that much to a reseller imo.
Don't spend a lot of money on it, its not worth it. Wait for the drop

If I did want to buy it from him, how much do you think I should offer? I'm actually interested in developing a site with it, not just reselling it. And I don't think I should chance that someone else snatches it up once it expires.

Just remember the first person to name a price is the loser. If you really want it to develop and revive what looks like a fairly inactive forum, make him name a price and negotiate from there, but I wouldn't pay a lot for it.

I sent an email asking him if he had a price in mind. I'd still love to hear what you all think a good price would be though.

I agree. It looks like the forum isn't doing much and at this point he might think he's got a bargain if he gets you to pay low $xx for it.

If he's getting offers for the name, he's less likely to let it drop. Plus, if it drops, you'll have to possibly compete at auction for the name. Buy it now.
