I figure I will need a trade feedback area too, so I'm starting one for myself as an example.
Initial comments (since its about me, I can say whatever I want).
Trading with me can be a slow process. I am fastest when I have posted a specific item as available. If I have to check my stash of spares, things will be slower.
WoW what have all of us forgotten Cathy??? I thought about it for a minute and thought maybe I should hang my head in shame!!! But then again I have always said how WONDERFUL Cathy has been in so many areas of the BBS here. But hey why not do it again here!!! New little forum that hasn't been touched by me yet!!! OK for anybody who comes here first and doesn't see all the other things about Cathy that I've written every where else here. Where would any of us be if it wasn't for Cathy's constant effort and incredible work that she has done here to create the SW community that we all enjoy here now. If it wasn't for Cathy most of us wouldn't even know each other here. Ther wouldn't be a place for: Brain, pednurse, Simon, Andy D. Yoda, Mike O., or even me. Cathy every time I think about I have to say "THANK YOU" for creating this WONDERFUL website that we all enjoy here so much!!! And I have to tell you all I have never seen a more fair and decent person online than Cathy. She'll trade extremely honestly with you here online, She'll help you at a drop of the hat and My God I've never seen anybody on line come to someone's aid faster than Cathy does if and when a Bad Trader shows up on here web site!!! She listens and does everything as fair as she can when it comes down to even the tiniest disputes here. Again Cathy is the BEST!!!!!! In the more than 3 years that I've known her here online I'm always amazed at what she does out of the kindest of her heart alone and barely ever asking for anything in return. You next to our little green Master friend Yoda, Cathy truely is the "force" that binds this web site and community together. So I end this comment like all the others: Cathy THANK YOU!!!!

What can I say? An absolute gem!! . . I have had a couple of trades / sales with Cathy in the past [even a trade circle deal] - all smooth as silk. . . Fantastic communicator and super generous - although she will deny being so if you ask her ;-) . . It goes without saying that I more than highly recommend her to everyone as a trade partner. . . . Kindest Regards, . . . Simon - G9

I haven't traded with Cathy but I recently purchased a card from her and it was an enjoyable process. Simply put, she sets the standard for everyone else on this site. Thanks Cathy.

I've been trading/chatting with Cathy for longer than either of us would want to admit ;o) Without her help my collection would be a lot smaller and my wants list a lot longer ;o)
Regards,
Andy

It only took me a little over 2 years to finally make a trade with Cathy--I'm not saying that it took me over 2 years to receive her shipment, I'm saying after being a member of the board for over 2 years, I finally completed my first trade with Cathy!
Cathy is extremely generous with all of the extra goodies she tossed in (post-it notes, website post cards, Vehicles post card promo, and some extra chrome Archives cards)!
To add to the loot, she tossed in over 100 AOTC Widevision cards to add to the card exchange! WOW, talk about an early Christmas gift for the board members!
I must admit, my card collection would still be in a small single box and in shambles if it were not for the generosity of the traders on this board and Cathy's willingness to keep it operating.
Thank you for all that you do Cathy. You have made our collections and our hobby possible.
There's little I can add to what others have already posted about our site administrator, but in the spirit of feedback: just completed a transaction with Cathy and it was fast and reliable. All the extras thrown in were cool too!

Not exactly a trade ... but a purchase made from Cathy that went real smooth. Thanks Cathy.
Well I completed my first trade with Cathy. Ive purchased some cards from Cathy, and even purchased some things for Cathy, but this is my first trade. Cathy was going to send the motion cards, even if I didnt have the one she needed. I did and everything went great. Thanks for the trade and the super duper awesome even greater site.
Cathy is the best. . . Just completed an AOTC and and Evolution sale deal with her. . . Cards were strictly MINT. Packed to perfection - very secure. She also sent a bundle of freebies - much appreciated. . . I would highly recommend Cathy as someone to buy cards from. . . . G9

I just completed my first "offical" trade with Cathy and it went great! I've had a few unofficial exchanges with Cathy over the past few months and I can honestly say she is a fantastic person to work with.
I have had a couple of trades and sales with Cathy. In each case, she was generous and shipped both quickly and safely. I would be more than happy to trade with her in the future. Thanks. Shon.

CATHY for president! Thanks for all the support you give for the true star wars cardcollector. Had several fine trades with Cathy and also bought some cards to help her see Mickey Mouse. Thanks again Cathy, you're great!

Well Again what more can we all say about Cathy. Just got the 3 Ep.1 3D cards that I needed so badly, one of which to finish off my set that's been hanging around here since last October. Thanks a bunch one more time again here for your help Cathy!!! Just and ending comment: Cathy is GREAT!!! (or was that Cathrine the Great) LOL See Ya
I have only conducted two trades with Cathy and they were minor, but, as many of you have said, it was less a trade than simply Cathy lending a hand in obtaining those hard-to-find last cards in set, the impossible to get foreign cards, and generally just whatever it is that you need.
Cathy is a wonderful, and might I add, inventive trader and collector. It is easy to tell she's not in it for gain, but for the love of the hobby and for the joy of seeing other board members accomplish their goal of completing a set or finding a hard card.
As you have all said, what can I say about Cathy. She not only has a good site and runs a good board, but lends herself to the further enjoyment of all things Star Wars.

Cathy came to the rescue again by providing free items to send to the collectors from this board. She tossed in several sets of the Star Wars Trading Cards web site postcards, trading stickers, web site post-it pads, and a few other odds and ends to show our appreciation to the members of this web site. After all, without the members and the trades conducted, collecting would be much more difficult (thanks everybody). And face it...without Cathy's devotion to this web site, none of this would be possible (thanks Cathy).
I don't need to tell you guys how good Cathy is to trade with - she is the BEST!!! . . Just completed a Clone Wars sketch card trade - arrive in perfect condition [was there ever any doubt ] . . Fantastic communication and a great item - can't go wrong trading with Cathy. . . Thanx a million Cathy. . . . . G9

I have purchased several items from Cathy - she always gives me a very fair price, and packs the cards really well. Will gladly buy stuff again anytime she has something I need.
