It's very time consuming for me to find notes that I want to buy based on my criteria. This extension helps a lot though.<br /><br />Even though I am frustrated with foliofn, at the same time I also think that the terrible interface my have some benefits. If they improved the interface so that you could search/sort better and buy based on your criteria quickly and easily, I think there would be a lot more competition for note buyers. The competition is already heating up I feel because notes with a good history definitely command a premium and it's hard to find good deals.<br /><br />I had another suggestion that I wanted to add. I will check each individual note and then buy based on my own criteria. I buy notes on a weekly basis and I always need to sort through notes that I decided to reject for whatever reason. When I am looking through the list of notes, I don't know which ones are notes that I rejected in the past. I need to open up each note and start reading the details. Very often, I think to myself, "this seems strangely familiar". It would be nice if there was a way of marking certain notes / loans to always hide them so that they will always be filtered out by the extension. That way I don't have to keep wasting time looking at notes that I am not going to be buying and I've already researched.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Marc!Zopitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955722208386740740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112482643541229498.post-79081289899871301022012-06-21T14:48:25.831-05:002012-06-21T14:48:25.831-05:00@Sean McDaniel,

The desired markup field has been very useful, since it lets me set values that are competitive enough to show up in searches. A similar enhancement for sellers would be to show and auto-set price based on "Yield to Maturity". I'm guessing that Markup/Discount and YtM are the fields buyers commonly sort by when looking for good deals, and both are time-consuming to calculate when pricing.<br /><br />Another feature that would be interesting is extending the additional sell columns to the "Sold this month" section. It would be useful to be able to see what discount and/or YtM caught a buyer's eye for pending and completed transactions - would help with adjusting prices as well as giving data about which value is more important.<br /><br />Thanks again for the extension, and let me know if you're looking for any assistance with coding/debugging in addition to suggestions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689867187189279896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112482643541229498.post-12141392018292182832012-06-21T10:42:18.821-05:002012-06-21T10:42:18.821-05:00No problem.
