You are one of the two people that told me that tried it... thank you so much! It's so much more exciting to code something that someone actually uses :)
Next I'd like to add a feature that allows the user to put in their username, then the site compare all their rentals with the ones active on the market and shows the user where he/she is doing fine and where he/she might go with a higher price! Not sure if I can do it, but I'd like to try :)

I like being able to see the number of cards rented, because it gives me an idea of how much volume there is in the rental market at any BCX qty, but I'm a bit confused by the "rental length" variable. As all rentals are for a min if 1 season , what is that variable selecting for ?
I need to add a sort of FAQ to explain that, because I know it's not very intuitive: basically "long" is for cards that are being rented for 14 days or more; "medium" 13-11 days; "short" 10-8 days (as 8 days is the current minimum length for a rental).
The idea is that if you choose "long" you see cards that are rented from the start of the season, "medium" cards that are rented after a few days from the season's start, and "short" cards that are rented only close to the start of the last week of the season.
And when the site shows you see rental ROI, that is estimated according to the selected length: for ex., "medium" has a 4/5 multiplier and "short" a 3/5 one.
That would be a great feature in general , but a potential drawback may be that repricing will take a season to come into effect and I wonder how you'd account for rental price fluctuations intra-season.
For example, at the start of the season the min market rent may be 1 DEC, then 8 days into the season it may be 1.5 DEC, if I check later in the season I'll see my 1 DEC rent is under market price, but if I relist for next season, I may be over priced at the start of the season.
I honestly don't know how you could account for this, but I still see value in the analysis as it will show you the general trend/demand level for a card. It would be a fair assumption to say that if price is rising , so is demand, it just may take a few season-cycles to feed into the market.
Of course , if you are buying and listing fresh cards, then this system will be very useful
That's a very good point, but I might solve that by checking the rental length of the cards owned by user and compare each card with cards on the market rented for a similar period, as I already do with the "long", "medium" and "short" filter. Not sure if it's feasable (or if I can do it), but that might work to solve the issue you noticed!
