I voted Epik this time and I have a good reason for doing so.
Recently, I was in the midst of a negotiation where a domain exchange was part of the overall deal. I asked the question here at Namepros if there was a type of Escrow that could safely facilitate this exchange. I was immediately contacted by @Rob Monster who is CEO of Epik. He explained that Epik offered this service and how it can be done.
I was happy to hear that Epik provided the pure exchange part of this service for free and furthermore it was seamless with no issues encountered. The exchange was done in a few hours. What made it better was that the CEO was hands on with overseeing it which gave me comfort.
I don't know if other registrars also offer this service, but even if they did, I would go back to Epik and Rob for further exchanges as the service was great.
thanks,
CK.
Thanks @Crypto King. What is exciting about domain swaps is that it creates liquidity without requiring liquidity. However, instead of using cash to pay for a domain, the parties are simply using their respective domains as currency, assigning nominal values to their domains based on whatever metric works for them. When asked, we'll render a fairness opinion, but in general, the parties will find their win-win scenario on their own.
If there was a way for me to browse domains on the ''Epik swap marketplace'', find a domain that I'd like to own, and present an offer (domains for exchange), it would be very nice and I'd move my keepers to Epik.
With a way to prevent low ball offers (dozens of cheap domains) by spammers.
You are right, but Namepros' potential in untapped as it could be much more, maybe whoever's leading the ship just wants it to be a forum.I think the NamePros mods should make a more prominent area for folks to list their swappable domains and allow them to also edit their inventory.

@equity78 - If it's possible. I would like to see the numbers of domains under registration for each registrar alongside these results when you publish these results. Maybe even sortable lists?
I still cant see why Godaddy get so much love... they have been very expensive!
Here is an interesting question.
Who is the main registrar among domainers who are making consistent xxxx+ sales and consistent xxx+ acquisitions.
What makes Namesilo the best?Only 1. NameSilo is Best
Congrats to Rob and he deserves it.
We might agree or/and disagree with him but that not the point.
The point is he is the face behind his company and he is always contributing to the domain community. We know where he lives, what he eats and what he likes....so tell me do other CEOs or other owners of the other registrars you know do that?
Rob at Epik is the only one that is here for us.... and he gives excellent customer service!
