Never consigned with them so don't know if they provide specific info to consignors about what auction your stuff lands in, but they certainly send out generic emails to their mailing list when auctions start and typically another reminder the day before they close. I notice getting those regularly.

I have consigned 1000's of cards with Sirius (and won 1000's over the years from their bi-weekly auctions). The principle's name is Michael. Yes, they (he) is not the best communicator in the world. That notwithstanding, they are seemingly honest, pretty reliable, and reasonably expedient on everything they do. Their fees are very fair as someone stated. I find it as a great site for updating several of my mainstream 50's, 60's, 70's Topps baseball sets. Both buying and selling. When I submit I do not utilize their online form, rather I attach my own submission excel spreadsheet, email Michael with it and ship the cards USPS Priority signature required. I have recommended them to several collectors. They do a good job, that said, communication is not their strong point.

agreed ... figured to bring this up

My second consignment is in progress and a third is on the way. I still wish I would receive emails other than outbid notices however.

Starting each lot at a buck is very effective. I've used some others that start either too high or bunch some random cards as a lot, which really prevents any bidding activity.

For anyone out there thinking of using Sirius, just fill out the form and send. It will get to auction.
