It was sale.urbit.org but you needed a ticket. Submit your email address to get on the list for future notifications, including tickets to future sales, although they say the next one will be a public auction. What you get when you buy is a number which can be submitted to urbit in exchange for the key that proves ownership of a certain star, meaning you would be able to sign messages that other planets/stars would trust as having come from the owner of that star. Stars are identical to planets except that they are also able to issue tickets for planets. So the point of owning a star is that you can give away or (in some future scenario where anyone wants to buy them) sell planets. For now, you can get a planet just by emailing the devs and asking for one.

People have complained about the documentation forever, but I think it's just hard to explain what it is, because it is pretty novel. If you chew through some of the available stuff and have further questions, reply to me, I'm as likely to give a useful answer as anyone.
