As a part owner of a small auction house, I would never consign to another auction house, and would be shocked to find that others do. Nothing against bigger auction houses, I shop at other auction houses all the time (can't bid in your own auction for a number of reasons both obvious and obscure), but why would I expect anyone to consign good cards to my company, if I'm sending items from my personal collection somewhere else?
