2025 was year two of @snagged.

We didn’t know exactly how big the year would be. In the end: 467 domain deals totaling $24M+.

Highlights from the year:

⭐️ An in-person, six-figure deal closed in the Appalachian Mountains (paid in gold coins)
🇷🇺 A Moscow deal involving stacks of cash and Russian sanctions lawyers (also in-person)
💰 8 deals over $1M
🏆 Trophy names like Slash*com, Monarch*com, and Scribe*com (plus a lot more we can’t talk about, yet)

The biggest milestone of all: @jarcho officially joining @rob as a Partner. Two friends from elementary school, now running Snagged together.

Along the way, we launched the Snagged marketplace, added 75+ premium domains under representation, published 72 nerdy blog posts, and ordered 100 bobbleheads.

Onward to 2026. 🪝

We secured Delete.com (@joindeleteme)…and the process to buy it took a much bigger turn than we had expected.

Prior to acquiring the domain, Delete.com had been owned by Dr. Luann Linquist, a psychologist in her late 80s who was living in a care facility.

Years earlier, she had used the domain for a project called DeleteStress, but the registration had eventually lapsed and the domain ended up in the expired auction.

We thought we might be able to buy the domain for around $200,000, when we knew it was heading to auction.

But, once the auction started, one bidder increased their bids (right when time was about to expire) for four-hours straight.

Eventually, the auction ended with 356 bids from 32 different bidders, and a final price of $494,352.

The mystery bidder kept us on our toes and reminded us to keep our calendars open when we’re bidding on domains at auction – because you never know when your day is going to be monopolized by someone else trying to secure the same domain.
