First Prosper.com Note up for Trade on Trading Platform

Prosper.com picked up speed again fast after the relaunch. As of today there are already more than 500 loan listings open for bidding. 5 loans already originated, despite the short timespan since re-opening.

Today I saw the first note for resale on the note trading platform. It is sold in auction mode where lenders can bid (sealed bids) during a seven days auction. Currently there are four bids. Would the auction end right now, then the buyer would purchase the note at a steep discount (40.4 Cents on the dollar). But I am sure bid prices will rise fast when more lenders discover that there is now activity on Prosper’s secondary market.
