The one I want does not have an active site (and hasn't for years), but is clearly owned by my namesake, the WhoIs lists him. Thanks for any suggestions!

If possible get your own domain name would be the best choice. Unless you found a domain name which very useful with high PR , lot of backlink, relevant traffic and most important is do have keywords in the domain name. Then you just decide is that value to purchase the existing domain or not. Usually is hard to get the domain name which been owned and ask domain owner to offer it.

James is right, there are no benchmarks in reality, you are buying blind, and your skill in buying great deomain names is honed, as you go. My best tip is to start slowly, and don't just buy everything you see. My site has exact match domains, but I also deal in aftermarket domains from a sister website, and the aftermarket site has more interest, so you never know! The year 2012 is said to be the year of the 4 word domains, as the domain market hots up, and exact match scarcity bolsters values, there is a window of opportunity for you there.

If ranking high on search engines such as Google is of high priority, then it would be advisable to register an "exact match domain".
