Just to correct a few things stated in your post:

1. the HA sellers fee is 20%.  Has been for some time now.  Likewise, the buyers fee is also 20%
2.  I know several folks who have negotiated a much lower fee with HA, some have actually negotiated 0% sellers fee!

3.  The HA buyers premium- it may surprise you to know that the 20% buyers premium isn’t always in play.  There are several ways that folks have negotiated this down to a reduced %

4.  HA’s customer base is far more expansive than Clink’s

5. clinks website functionality and user-friendliness seems as though it was created by a teenage living in his parents basement…and it hasn’t been upgraded since launch.  On the flip side, HA’s site features, user friendliness, etc are far superior 

6.  In general, you pay more for consigning with HA, but it’s a small price to pay for the benefits received

7. Given the aforementioned, clink is a great place to buy, but a lousy place to sell (unless you feel like leaving money on the table)

As far as selling on HA, doesn't that depend of the book you're selling?  I think Golden age books, some Silver age and a few choice Bronze age books but not so sure about the rest of the books...Just wondering is all? 
I never think to sell at HA and I live in the Dallas area so I could just drive down and hand them off.  The 20% commission seems way to high IMO.  I'm not selling a high priced book or books.

I knew I had some of these but just found them.  I figured they would be an appropriate donation.  I've graded them roughly, they are all complete.  
I can't find a lot of the issues on eBay, don't know if that means they are scarce.  There are 10 books, Bin  price is $75 shipped in the U.S., I will split shipping outside the U.S. If I find more related books I will add them. All the books will be bagged and boarded and packed carefully.

The books are all from the Pink Panther series.  

The Pink Panther 
Gold Key
#33  5.5 (small ripple on the back)
#38 8.5 
#47 7.0
45 6.0
46 8.5
47 8.5
48  6.5
50 8.0
Whitman
 #8  5.0
#14, 4.5
#36  6.0

 Always loved the Pink Panther as a kid...So funny...  Just let me know how to pay and I'll pay ASAP.. running some errands this morning/afternoon but will pay when I return. 

Let me see what I can dig up in the next few days.  If not,  I'll just donate or buy something.

case swap here??  ...worst 9.6 I've seen in a long time if this is legit.

Ah, the emoji meaning guessing game.  Here is 1 of the many formulas I use to decide which emoji to give:

Hmm...on the 10th line in section 2,  the 3rd 4 should be a 6..That should help put out the emoji faster. 

Grades submitted! (Ahhh!!) 

The bags and boards are great to me.  I like the fact they have 56pt. boards.    I received a few hundred bags and boards (Just the 24pt boards) about two months ago. Really happy with them.

This is really really sad news.  All the best to his family during these very difficult times. 

I don't mind buying books with a few flaws on the case as long as the flaws do not visually impair viewing the book like "Funnybooks" posted above.  Also as long as the case does not endanger harming the book.  Some small side cracks, corner cracks, cracks in the label area won't stop me from buying a book I really really want.  Of course if I have a choice, the flawless case is the one I'm buying.  
When selling, I will mention the case defects and price the book as best I can with these case defects in mind.

Standard submission of only 2 books still not opened after a week.  Probably be a few more days before they get logged into Submission tracking is my guess.

Ouch.  8pts for me.  3 books 2pts, 2 books 1pt. Uhh!  

Feast or famine with me on round 2.  Two bullseyes, one point off but 3pts off each on two books. My grades were lower.  7pts. 

Got 2 bullseye's and total of 4pts...I'll take it. 

NIce!

Based on "what's reported"  ASM 298 in CGC "9.8 newstand" is pretty uncommon to me anyway! If there are any more out there...Come forward and Show Yourself!

Is that what goes on here?

  Oh yeah! plenty of fireworks over the years here on these boards.  Keeps these boards quite interesting.  

Been 20 years for me too!    What a great place to learn about comics. 

  Wow! What a find! 

OH YES! Loved Season 1.  Really looking forward to Season 2.  

Grades in... 

Well...time for me to make a couple/three more submissions before May 2nd and then hang back and see where all this goes. 
I was going to wait several more weeks before submitting again..That got pushed up to this week now. Sigh! 

This looks interesting.  Don't know that much about the Blue Beetle but I'll find out about him. 

I'm in!
