I was curious about domains and looked for something. The domain was available, but it cost over $1,000,000

What would happen if I clicked “add to cart” and tried to buy it if…

  • I couldn’t afford it
  • I could afford it

Does someone reach out since it’s a big sale? How do they confirm I have the money? Who does the money go to?

Assuming I don’t have the money, at what point would I get blocked? I assume they don’t just process giant purchases the same way as $10 ones

    A contract becomes binding after both parties agreed to it.

    Going back to the example with the domain, the domain holder simply won’t agree to the sale before you can prove that you can pay.
    So there is no legally binding contract, there is no sale, there are no debts or damages. You’ll just be told to fuck off.
