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. 🪝

☀️ July Domain Spotlight Sales are heating up, just in time for summer. The premium domain market has been moving fast – Piston.com, Luxe.com, Physicians.org, Particle.ai and several others found new homes, as buyers are chasing names that are bangers. Sales are never perfectly predictable, but the pipeline is looking strong. More premium names are coming to market, and there are plenty of fresh opportunities making their debut. FEATURED DOMAINS: .COM 🚀 Try.com ⚡ Flare.com 💪 Hoss.com ☎️ Dials.com 🧬 Modulate.com 🌿 Garnish.com 📈 Actionable.com .AI 🎱 Cue.ai 🌊 Workflow.ai 🤖 LLM.ai 🎯 Optimal.ai ✍️ Outline.ai The best names tend to have one thing in common. They don’t stay on the market for long.

@craftnames @awwstn You can safely assume there is gold involved in every deal we close

@awwstn @rob Any chance there was gold involved in this purchase?

last year @rob helped us secure howie.com at a great price, and 18 months later he randomly spotted the .co (previously was listed for $25K) available for $295 and sent it to me to snag. 🐐 status

@kitun @awwstn Whatchu got?

@rob @awwstn Wanna help me unload mine? lol

@_amankishore @jsawadd Awesome. We’ll get right back to you.

I wonder how often domain name buyer brokers decline an acquisition engagement because the client’s budget is unrealistic and inflexible.

Who gives a shit what SAS thinks or what he's willing to "tell the front office to their face." Go be an angry troll somewhere else, dude, no one cares what you think. Wizards under the new leadership have made smart decisions and have dug themselves out of an incredibly deep hole. The future is bright in DC!

@arthurquerou @Walmart @vibedotco wow congrats

It's official: @Walmart to acquire @vibedotco ! What the Vibe team has built since our inception is phenomenal. Not just an ad platform but a full infrastructure that unlocked real performance on CTV. Joining forces with Walmart, the largest US retailer and second largest US ecommerce retailer as well as Vizio’s ecosystem, will open up endless opportunities for the people we fight for every day: publishers and advertisers. We unlocked Performance TV. Now it's time to make it as big as Search & Social. And we couldn't have dreamed of a better home than Walmart to do so. But if anyone is to be celebrated in this deal, it's our team. Absolute legends. Insane concentration of talent. To be clear though, this is not the finish line for us. It's a massive accelerator for our mission to transform TV advertising forever. We can't wait to join forces with the Walmart and Walmart Connect teams, along with John Furner, Seth Dallaire, Ryan Mayward and so many more brilliant minds. It’s Day 1, 10am. Back to work! - Arthur, a proud future Walmart associate

What a wild/random day to win the domain auction for GiannisAntetokounmpo*com.

@katerleonid FWIW, we've had several six-figure .ai deals in June. They just aren't public. 😀

Zero public $100K .AI domain sales this month. What's happening? 🤔 Namebio source.

@cultra Amen, brother

The best part about being a domain investor is that it is your asset, and you can ask whatever you want. And boy do they. I encounter so many ridiculous asks. And this is coming from a domain investor. $400 recent auction purchase asking $100K․ I come in at five figures and they act like I stabbed their Mom. I don't mind it on the .ai or rapidly moving tech names, but we're talking plain, ordinary two word domains. Domains they will now sit on for years instead of taking the 20X in a few years Again, I am a domain investor. I know both sides, and it's their right. Knowing when to hold your ground gets you top dollar. Not these. These portfolio fillers should be turn-and-burn

@synozeer What’s the name?!

@rob I did the same. Found out Larry Fischer owns it. R.I.P.

My name is Rob, and I have a domain name problem. When I moved to South Orange, NJ, I did what any normal person who is obsessed with domain names would do: I looked up who owned SouthOrange*com. Three years, countless emails, a few support calls, and one in-person coffee later… I bought it. Then I had the same realization every domain collector eventually has: “Okay, now what?” So I built something on it! My story behind acquiring SouthOrange*com 👇

@MichaelCyger @BainbridgeIsl @Castello_Bros @DomainSherpa Are there t-shirts as part of this club?!

@rob Similar to you… I investigated and negotiated the purchase of @BainbridgeIsl after interviewing @Castello_Bros on @DomainSherpa more than a decade ago. Welcome to the geo club! 🤝

@greatdomainsbuy @JayKapoorNYC @adilmania @miramurati whatchu got?

@JayKapoorNYC @adilmania @miramurati Looking for the same but with domain acquisition offers. What's the possibility anyways 😂? Got a real good gem for SuperIntelligence companies.

quick request: can anyone connect me to @miramurati 👋 got a cool idea.

@photomatt @akothari @NotionHQ @ivan 100%

@akothari @NotionHQ @ivan Domains are like real estate, there are stories behind every one.

We're finally shedding the .so (thank you Somalia!), and using the .com for @NotionHQ. And for this beautiful moment, I want to share a fun story: Back in 2018, I had just joined Notion, and one of the first things @ivan asked me to do was figure out how we could own notion.com. I had never done a big domain purchase before, so I reached out to a few domain brokers to understand the landscape. We tried different brokers, kept things anonymous, and attempted to surface a price the seller might consider. A year went by… nothing. Meanwhile, it was pretty clear this was only going to get more expensive as we grew. We needed a different approach. A fellow founder connected me to a broker who took a very different tack. Less transactional, more long-term relationship builder. He spent months getting to know the domain owner. Turns out owner was a fellow entrepreneur in the west coast… and a huge Grateful Dead fan. So we figured, why not get creative? Something beyond just price. So I called up our investor Ronny Conway and asked if there was any way he could help set up a private meeting between the domain owner and the Grateful Dead. Ronny is one of those people who somehow makes impossible things possible. A week later he calls me back: “New York City. Halloween. 15 minutes after the concert. Done.” The broker went back to the owner with an offer: some cash, some equity, and a private meeting with the Grateful Dead. That got his attention. He didn’t take the band meeting in the end, but he did lean into the equity (great call, in hindsight). We shook hands, and a few weeks later, the deal was done. I’ve been waiting years for the day we move our product to notion.com. Looks like 2026 is finally the year. Safe to say I’m unreasonably excited about this update!

@jpDotAi what's up?
