It's something I'm thinking about doing, but nowhere on their website do I see any info about what fees they charge -- I assume it's a percentage of the closing price? Anybody that's sold through them can answer this, I'm sure...

this page: https://www.ha.com/information/comic-book-online-market.s
says 10% fee under $5,000 ($25 minimum fee), and goes down the higher the price. I've also seen people saying it's 15% seller commission too, but don't see that on the site. not sure if the AUCTION fees are higher than 'consign till it sells' fee, they don't seem to make that clear. why not just call or email them and get it from the source? scroll down that page and they list the Comics Buyer/Consignment Director, his ph# and email. also ask about any minimum value required, I'm seeing posts of $1000-up depending on the category, or $500-up. Do some due diligence on reviews, there may be (are) better places to use, depending on how high value the stuff is.

AUCTION fees
Thanks for your reply. Yeah, it's auction activity I was thinking about; I didn't know the other option existed and it doesn't meet my needs anyway. I tried e-mailing them, but I'm old and tech-ignorant and I couldn't figure out a way to link my e-mail address to the Outlook box that popped up when I clicked the link. I found a back-door way to contact them, but using that route, I'm told to expect a delay of up to two weeks before they answer me.

so call them, don't cost nuthin', it's a toll free number. and I just noticed that consignment page says "Approved, reputable sellers can now offer CGC-graded comics for direct sale on the Heritage Auctions website." so looks like only CGC graded books, and don't what their requirements are for being a reputable seller. Rick's email is ricka[a]ha.com (remove the brackets and use the usual @ symbol), so just type that in to your email message. clicking his email link automatically opens your email program and fills in the address normally, but I've never used outlook, so don't know how it handles that. I'm assume you're using a desktop computer vs a smart phone?
calling would be way quicker, 2 weeks to respond to emails is nuts. take a look at comiclink too: https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/auctionschedule.asp#Upcoming%20Auctions . ph # and email address on that page too.
10% seller fee, and faster payout (30 days vs 45 for heritage).
good luck on the stuff.

I consign at mycomicshop. Easy, lots of people for their auctions, and their fees are pretty good.
They also can pay over PayPal almost immediately if you don't mind the fees. Otherwise they send checks.

Thanks, C-shop; with the info you gave me in your last post I think I can get everything sorted. (Duh. Phone. It never occurred to me that calling them was an option. Full-on old-folk tech-weirdness.)
