So what is the minimum cost 1k sq ft home with septic tank? Guy there is quoted as saying he can build for $10k. Sounds like bullshit.

It's just a framing kit made of spf lumber. The rest of the house is left to be sourced.

Yep. From the page (capitals are original):

"THIS KIT IS NOT A COMPLETE HOUSE. YOU ARE BUYING A DOME FRAMING KIT Only! THIS ITEM IS NOT IN STOCK AND REQUIRES A 6 MONTHS LEAD TIME."

You can't trust amazon to sell an SD card why would you trust them to sell a house? How long until amazon's search promotes dozens of Chinese companies each with an unpronounceable name selling knockoffs made of pressed wood soaked in formaldehyde and painted with lead.
