California Court of Appeal

In a claim based on the allegedly fraudulent handling of a public auction for the sale of an internet domain name, the announcement of the availability of a domain name (posted on defendant's website) was an offer, and plaintiff's making of the bid was acceptance of that offer, thus a valid contract was adequately pleaded.
