We turn to the person who owns it, or to a broker, or to the intermediation agency that he manages it, and you buy it at auction or directly. There are companies that manage the transaction so that both the buyer and the seller are sure they can complete the sale without problems. There are no official prices: highly sought-after names such as hotel, diamonds, etc. have been sold for millions of euros. For years, Dropbox used the domain getdropbox because dropbox had previously been purchased by a company, which then sold it to them for an exorbitant but unknown sum.
Without reaching these extreme cases, to have interesting names you will have to be ready to shell out thousands of euros, especially if they are domains, the most coveted. Some famous marketplaces for domain names photo editor are sedo (one of the largest and most famous), Afternic, domaindirect (specializing in domains). I've used Sedo and Domaindirect with no problems, and although I've never used Afternic I know it has a good reputation. Furthermore, many hosters and registrars have their own marketplaces (godaddy, namecheap, register, to name a few) and you can try to buy or reserve domains.
Through them, and in some cases you can even try to contact the owners directly. In this case, however, I advise you to manage the transaction through specific services, or you risk being scammed. Lately, the practice of renting the domain name has become increasingly widespread : if there is a name that is indispensable for you but the purchase cost is prohibitive, renting can be a valid option. If you are not willing to buy or rent a good domain name, or cannot afford it, you need to use your imagination and ingenuity and find an original one.
