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

    I’m pretty sure different countries or regions may have different mechanisms. I’m still amazed at the ability yo move large amounts inside the US, as you have states that almost qualify as tax havens. Guess the US government is not concerned. I still find it interesting.
