I work with a non-profit organization called Kate's Club (www.katesclub.org). Until recently, however, www.katesclub.com was owned by a guy who was using it for erotic images, and we received more than a few complaints about this. A friend of mine emailed the site owner and said he'd like to purchase the domain, and the guy responded with a relatively high price. The owner asked what he needed the domain for, and when he told him, the owner gave him the domain for 1/10th of what he originally asked. I suggest you present your idea and motives to him, however you might not want to mention that you're planning on making a whole lot of money or he may hold that against you. Come at him with a price and see how he responds. It doesn't look like this site has been maintained nor does it appear to be making any money.
