Up for Grabs lets visitors buy symbolic ownership of dates, numbers, words, colours, pixel tiles, and failed personal eras.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The catalogue separates symbolic ownership into six systems, each with its own browsing logic: dates use a calendar, numbers carry mathematical and cultural traits, words have rarity and lore, and colours receive palettes and personalities. The site also includes a 2,500-piece pixel-art world and a graveyard for failed eras. Listed examples range from #FF69B4 to the words SKIBIDI and LEEROY JENKINS, with displayed entry prices starting at £2.99.
