I was doing a bit of comparing of the Ablrate and MoneyThing secondary market in a discussion elsewhere and noticed these interesting things: ---- Ablrate: that £4,257,774.00 of secondary market deals on £15,146,115.84 of completed loans. 27.9% of loan value. MoneyThing: £7,774,295 of secondary market deals as of November 7 on £28 million of completed loans as of September 2016. 27.8% of loan value Interesting that the value of secondary market trades vs loan volume is almost the same on two platforms with a very different approach to the secondary market, with some people disliking or liking each approach quite strongly. ---- I wonder, is there a way we can see the new (rather than renewal) origination and current total traded on the secondary market? I have a feeling that as a percentage of new not renewal loans the Ablrate secondary market might actually have had a higher turnover than the one at MoneyThing. Or if not, could you provide a same day snapshot so I can update with more correct same day figures?

I found this post really interesting. I was one of the first members of FC (no more) and am currently using 5 other P2P sites so not exactly a novice. Started with Moneything 2 years ago and to diversify dipped my toe in Ablrate a year ago. I prefer short term so began looking at the SM on Ablrate. Couldn't figure out how it worked so read the "facts" twice. I still couldn't figure it out so have never used the Abl SM, although I have no problems with any of the others.

If you want to buy from the offers on the right, say how much you want to buy and the system will tell you the effective interest rate, the yield, before you confirm the deal. You'll get the highest rates available that it takes to deliver the amount you requested. If you want to add an offer to sell to those on the right, type in how much you want to sell and the price you want as a percentage of par. Use 100 if you want to work it like MoneyThing and sell at par. Or you can sell to those bids on the left but you'll usually find them less attractive in price. However, the deal is instant if you do sell to them.

A really easy to understand explanation. Thank you so much James. I appreciate you taking the trouble to answer.
