I'm getting married next spring, and we need to cover some of the expenses early.  I could sell some of my stock options to cover this, but I'm intrigued by prosper and I'd rather investigate the borrowing side of prosper.com with a small loan instead.  Allow me to tell you a little bit about my credit/financial history:

I'm employed with a major computer networking vendor, my annual salary is $112,000 a year.  For the past 5 years my average annual bonus (in addition to the 112k) has been $23,000.  I have approximately $200,000 in a 401(k) and approximately $150,000 in vested but unexercised company stock options.  My fiancee (we're joint in all things financial) also earns approximately $75,000 per year.  She is 100% debt free (her car loan is in my name) but her income is NOT included in my computed debt-to-income ratio, so it's really more like 2%.

Paying back a $2500 loan is NOT an issue, I'm more interested in the prosper.com experience and I'm willing to pay a little bit of interest to see how it works.  I've never carried a credit card balance in my life.  I consider credit cards 'bad' debt. 

I should probably be a AA risk, but experian doesn't work that way:

I'm a 'B' because I have two outstanding car loans which brings me out of "zero-debt" status:  Loan 1 is an '04 Acura TL, and has 10,000 remaining at 2.9%.  Loan 2 is my fiancee's '05 Subaru Outback, and has $8000 remaining at 1.9%.  We took these loans out only because at the rates we qualify for the interest doesn't even cover inflation, and we can make better than 3% in a basic savings account.  I'm also a verified homeowner with a 15yr fixed mortgage at 4.75% (refinanced in min-2003).  My income level combined

I can verify all of this information via sanitized statements/paystubs if desired.  I look forward to your bids, this is an excellent opportunity to diversify your loan portfolio with a zero-risk loan.  (I'm not about to waste 15 years of smart financial management by not paying back a $2500 internet loan!)
