If you're into dropshipping, a product domain name is should be known by you. However, if you don't quite know what it is, it would be best described in domain name investing to be a brandable domain that you can use for a single product. Now, you might be thinking that a brandable name can be used as a single product, and while this is true, a product domain name generally cannot be used the other way around.
One example of a brandable that is also a product domain name is my purchase of Tulb.com for $1155. Tulb is a lightbulb that is both tuneable for temperature (colder blues to warmer oranges) and transformational (16 million colors). Essentially, it's a smart lightbulb on steroids because it solves so many problems from daily living to even creative photography.
I keep saying that I have uses for all of my names in case a sale never comes. I cannot in good faith purchase something that I can't use or can't see someone else using. In all honesty, I probably break this rule about 1 in 5 times though.
With what a product domain name is, and one example of such a coveted name out of the way, here are three more recent purchases that are more down to earth and were hand registered for $8 on Epik.
ColderKeeper.com - Not going to reveal this one, but I'll let you guess (in your head). It solves a problem but is very niche.
BossFold.com - Clothes folding assistant utility.
ZeusTape.com - Strongest tape.
Since product domains are so niche and someone has to have the same exact vision as you do in order for them to work, there is more risk involved. Either you have to take the risk or someone else does. If it's someone else taking the risk, I wouldn't expect too much from these types of names and price them in the $250-500 region until you can get around to investing more in them yourself because if it sells, it funds another venture, and if it doesn't, it's can still be profitable if you put the legwork in yourself.
What are some of your product domain names? Did you even think of names being labeled as such? Could you ever see yourself investing more than just money into a domain name like contacting a supplier and having the branded products shipped to a fulfillment center for customers to order directly from you?
