It’s all right there. No excuses! Check out the comments for further enlightenment.
As usual, I offered the domain name for sale to some of my clients, but there wasn’t interest. I was concerned that I possibly over paid for the 10…

The reason most domainers don’t sell produts are the barriers to entry. You have to buy the product, market it, and ship it. You usually have to have a brick and mortar locations staffed with people. This is expensive and time consuming. It i…
Shane, are you selling plants online? Do you drop ship ;–)
I have a couple of product domain names and have been researching, on and off, the efficacy of setting up the whole shebang- LLC, reseller license, importing from China, storing and shipping etc. It’s pretty daunting. I would buy the book that tells me how to do it.
Where I specifically end up on the fence is, calculating the profit margin- so many variables and so little experience. The 4 Hour Work Week has a couple of examples that help get me close, but basically it looks to like a physical product would need a price point of at least $50. to warrant the effort. And then still, it would need to be a tight enough niche that the eBay guys aren’t all over it.
I really like the BobbleHeads.com model, where value is added through personalization. I keep the hampsters up late trying to come up with a product niche /domain name combo that lends itself to that business model.
That said, I do have ONE product that comes to mind and your post has prompted me to move forward with a test.
Thanks,
JohnH

Ultimately, as you can see, some of the mini sites did better than others and some look better than others. When the domain names do sell, all of them are indexed in Google, which may not have happened had I parked them. Also, keep in mind that altho…
