One of the top level domain (TLD) that I came across ".forsale" caught my attention. If we are to buy "accessories" domain, and apply different subdomains like mobile, laptop would that have any SEO impact? For example:
The whole URL looks to be hugely keyword rich, for example "laptop accessories for sale" and semantically correct and correlated.
I think brand matters even if you're creating that kind of website. What percentage of people are going to buy from that kind of domain? I don't think it will be many.
It's not easy to remember that full domain name. That will cause return visit traffic to be much less than if you had a strongly branded site.

Google has not provided a hard line answer to that question, though they do have a couple old videos covering that topic:
How important is it to have keywords in a domain name?
Is Google putting more weight on brands in rankings?
In my experience working with such websites, having broad keywords within the domain name will not give you a leg-up in ranking for those terms.
Exact match domains still get a little bit of SEO value if you are using a .com domain name. Using any other top level domain extension would make no sense at all right now.
Like if you have laptopdeals.com that would be a great domain name instead of laptopdeals.offers or laptopdeals.forsale.
