The dust is settling from what was a successful first-ever SwapFest last Friday in Seattle. Herewith is a summary of what was won at SwapFest, as well as an updated SwapBook which includes remaining inventory from SwapFest #1.
A recap of SwapFest #1
The prices below include the in-room SwapFest bids. In total, more than $100,000 of assets changed hands during the 90 minute session. All domains are bundled with a website that is either developed or will be developed. In other words, domains cannot be bought and parked.
The prices started at $9,999 and then in rapid sequence, dropped to $199. Bids were accepted in stepped increments and then processed so that lot numbers were removed from bidding for the next bid cycle. Here are the winning on-site bids, along with who won them:

Overall, it was a successful outcome with a unique bidding format that allowed a large amount of inventory to be auctioned off. It was also a lot of fun as anyone who was there will attest if they have not already.
What happens next?
Here is what is going on now:
- Settlement: The domains are being pushed to the winning bidders and Epik accounts are being updated so that the winning bidders accrue revenue for the month of September.
- Public bidding: The on-site SwapFest participants had the first bite of the apple. Now the inventory is open to the public for bidding. Keep in mind that the minimum bid on any asset is $299 for a domain with a website. You can download the inventory here: Final Booklet – SwapFest.
- Close of Public bidding: The public bidding cycle will end on September 30 at 5 pm PT. To submit a bid, send the list of domains with prices to swap@epik.com. All bids are for domains with an Epik-powered website. Winning bidders will own the names and are free to resell them.
Next SwapFest – Miami on October 20, 2010
Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu have graciously allowed Epik to run another SwapFest as add-on to the TRAFFIC Conference in Miami. Luke Webster, Kristine Oliver and I will be on hand at the conference. Details of Swapfest #2 will be announced soon. As prework for anyone intending to participate in SwapFest #2, we recommend sending in domains that you wish to convert to EpikBucks. You can do so by sending portfolios to swap@epik.com and we’ll review them.
