I called Iceland air and asked if there was anyway my husband and I could be moved from the middle to the side and my request was granted for our first flight. We were a couple rows up to FG. However, she told me she wasn't able to move seats on any of our other flights.
I am still waiting for information regarding the bidding on our flight Sunday. I don't hold out much hope for that one either.
I upped the bid for our flight home from REK to IAD to $200 per seat in Economy Comfort. That now puts me in the light green zone. But ExpertFlyer shows no economy comfort seats available for that flight so again no expecting to get anything.
Will continue to update...
Thanks for the update Kona2012!

So to review, for IAD-KEF you bid $160 for Economy Comfort (mid-yellow zone) with ExpertFlyer showing 4 seats available, but you weren't successful.

Any updates on your KEF-ARN bid?
