Some Splinterlands rental stats

Inspired by Hive account@nealmcspadden's post about his rental stats, I thought I'd pull some of my own with numbers I'm more interested in. This is just what i could get from a very simple data pull method - I copied the For Rent -> Available and For Rent -> Rented tabs into a spreadsheet to get a full list of my cards available for rent.

Totals

I currently have 224 cards available for rent (as Hive account@komerex-zha) on Peakmonsters, of which 67 are rented. They break down like this:

Edition	Rarity	Rented	Unrented
Alpha	Common	4	10
Alpha	Rare	7	21
Alpha	Epic	2	9
Alpha	Legendary	4	4
Alpha Gold	Common	0	2
Alpha Gold	Legendary	0	1
Beta	Common	6	9
Beta	Rare	6	28
Beta	Epic	1	17
Beta	Legendary	4	12
Beta Gold	Common	0	2
Beta Gold	Rare	0	1
Beta Gold	Legendary	0	4
Promo	Legendary	0	1
Promo Gold	Rare	0	1
Promo Gold	Legendary	0	2
Reward	Common	6	6
Reward	Rare	7	4
Reward	Epic	5	1
Reward	Legendary	7	2
Reward Gold	Common	5	14
Reward Gold	Rare	1	0
Reward Gold	Epic	0	1
Reward Gold	Legendary	1	4

Interesting that Rewards are by far the most rented; of course they're also the cheapest. Breaking down vacancy rates by edition gets us:

Edition	Rented	Unrented	Vacancy
Alpha	21	44	67.7%
Beta	17	66	79.5%
Reward	25	13	34.2%
Reward Gold	7	19	73.1%
Total	67	157	70.1%

(Unrepresented editions have 100% vacancy.)

What if we do these by daily USD rather than by card?

Edition	Rented	Unrented	Vacancy
Alpha	1.59	4.58	74.2%
Beta	1.92	8.31	81.2%
Reward	1.21	0.51	29.7%
Reward Gold	1.14	1.476	56.4%
Total	5.86	24.156	80.5%

In general I've been willing to deal with high vacancy rates in order to keep my prices what seems to me to be reasonably high, while being willing to take on some very short contracts to keep things moving. There has been a lot of racing to the bottom in this market, but it's gradually getting cleared out and my rentals have been picking up, including more long-term deals.

I may at some point try tracking down the market value on cards I have available, in order to get a sense of ROI, but that's a bit more work than what I've done so far, and it doesn't matter all that much to me. By and large I'm intending to hold these cards anyway, so total dollar velocity matters more to me than ROI.
