Ask HN: How much should a startup pay for a .com?

How much should a startup be willing to pay for a .com address? I'm currently bootstrapping a project that's entering private beta. The domain I'd like to get is currently owned by a "domainer" who is asking for way more than I'd like to pay.

I'm thinking <$1000 is reasonable for a pretty good domain that has no natural traffic flow. (think snapchat.com in 2010.) Am I way out of line? Should I be willing to pay more? If it matters, the domain I'm seeking has no existing trademarks.
