Here's my mantra: Domains sell themselves.

Listing agencies are superfluous. Just put a note in the WhoIs record hinting that your domains are available for resale.

If you have access to your own web server you might consider using a landing page that indicates the domain is for sale.

There really isn't a "better place" to list domains. Pretty much every place where domains are routinely sold you will be selling to reseller marketplace, so unless it's a traffic domain (you've got stats) your price will tend to be quite modest compared to expected enduser prices.

Where to list, if you must: Afternic, Sedo, DNForum, NamePros - all the usual suspects.

You are far better off parking the domains using one of the parking services that allows you to implement a "Domain for Sale" link on the PPC lander. This will accomplish 3 things: 1) it will make you a few bucks if the domains have traffic; 2) it will build a traffic record; and, 3) it will expose the domain's "for sale" status.

A caveat - some of the 'resellers' actually have shell companies that 'buy' the domain through them. If you have to use a broker, be careful :)
