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

    If you are legally adult, and agree to buy the car by entering a contract, you owe them $50k whether or not you have it and they owe you a car whether or not you can pay.

    This is why car dealerships usually check your credit before agreeing.

    If either of you can’t hold up the agreement, them the contract is broken and you must find some middle ground that works out, frequently via the court system. Usually you would return the car and pay them for their trouble.

    Contracts are usually roughly that, but there can be stipulations on payment before delivery or how contract break is handled, etc.
