Is anyone in the Dn forum community even interested in buying .xyz domains? Seems many are kinda disinterested in acquiring them, I own some pretty cool ones, so want to know if this is even the community that I should be trying to sell them in.

great .xyz names come with premium renewal rates.. almost no exceptions here.. renewal fees are one of the main killers of domain investors..
you take a $3500/year renewal fee, multiply it 4 times (4 years) = for $14k you can get a LLL .com domain (with a much-much-much lower renewal rate).
it always makes me sad, seeing (mostly Indian) domain investors sitting on fabulous .xyz domains and being unable to sell them and keeping renewing these.. very very sad

It's a niche extension primarily for techy sites and startups so will never have the broad appeal of .com or ccTLDs (.co.uk etc.)
If your names are as good as you think then Afternic is the marketplace to be on, if you can't sell them there you won't sell them anywhere...

List them at all the marketplaces, starting from @Sedo and Afternic (2 leaders), then the next 4 probably are Atom, Dynadot, Namecheap, and Flippa (quite often not talked about here). 3 new fast growing marketplaces that have great reputation: Nameshift (Netherlands), Fruits (Germany) and @Unstoppable Domains.
We have a marketplace member group here: @Domain Marketplace (you can check the members in it by clicking on it and asking who offer what, if you are after that personal connection).
Note: Not all the DNF members who represent marketplaces are added there - just those ones we know (we keep adding members to various groups regularly)
