Free escrow domain swap:
http://escrow.epik.com/
Just make sure both domains are at Epik and we'll do it gratis.
@Arfy can tell you about it if you need a reference.
Have you done many of those?
very interesting @Rob Monster , can you elaborate on how this works
The problem with all of these “free” epik escrow deals, such as the “free epik escrow for NP members” offer, is that to qualify, in trying to get the domain(s) to be sold and the buyer over to epik, you might end up losing the deal.
There are different analogies one could think of, but they’re all along the lines of throwing hurdles in front of your buyer in order to close the “free” deal.
I did discuss the Epik free escrow for NP members here at length, there are a series of buyer unfriendly hurdles to overcome, but if you may get past these, yes, it is free:

In any case for this domain swap scenario, I believe the minimum escrow fee at escrow.com is $10. so you could just create I’d think a one dollar escrow and transfer the domain that way which at two people paying $8.50 to register the domain at epik (which, granted, would seem to extend the domain by two years), comes to about the same cost.
But, if both buyer and NP seller are willing to jump through the hurdles and land the domain(s) at epik and both create accounts at epik, the transaction costs are removed at epik.
I see this as a very viable option to complete an escrow sale, In this day and time secure domain name transactions are very important IMO.
So i have g8c.com for sale here, or i am taking offers, @Rob Monster , so if i were to accept an offer on the domain and want to complete the transaction at Epik, would i simply transfer the domain to Epik , I would expect the transfer could take place quite fast as i would simply do the auth and Epik would accept the auth?
so such a transaction could take how long??
We can do external sales too, and all accounts are approved for that by default.
The domain payout happens when the domain arrives.
We are looking at clearing transactions at other registrars and can do that for a rush case.
For larger transactions ($1000+), best for the domain to arrive at Epik.
What we seek to avoid is to get caught in dispute resolution where we don't control the domain itself.
