They just banned my account and cancelled every reservation reserved for it. I think this is because I had a fresh account and they can see when people book more than "XYZ" reservations at top restaurants. I was also using a VPN to do all of this, so maybe that's another flag, but I doubt they have anything high-level to know that. Big take away is to make sure you gradually warm up your account for getting reservations. imo, can't get away with just grabbing 8 reservations on weekends. Unfortunately this means the $75 I sold also will get cancelled, so I won't make that money

15 days ago I posted about spending like 20 minutes picking up some reservations. I spent another 20 minutes grabbing some other ones and one of them sold for $75 a few days ago. I got this email from AppointmentTrader

I sold 3 reservations for $255 gross sales and $143.6 net sales. I created 57 reservations but can only upload 15 so I have only uploaded a total of 18 reservations to AT. If I could upload all of them (or more) I would have made over $700 (at the same sell through rate). Really hoping I can get a higher cap (and sell thru rate).

During the Q&A, Fuad taught us step-by-step how to get reservations and put them onto AppointmentTrader so other people can buy them. I did what he said to get my first two reservations set. Took me like 20 minutes to do. Apparently Carbone is one of the highest restaurants in Miami. I bid them for like $75 each which will be $50 profit each after AT's cut. So the 20 minutes I spent doing reservations should have $100 total value. Or like $150/hour. Granted, there's a "Expected Value" component too, which takes in the chance that someone actually wants to buy and have dinner at those reservations once the date approaches. Like let's say 50% of reservations are purchased by someone, then the actual value is about $50 for 20 minutes of work. You could play around with these, like a Friday night at Omakase has a 99% chance of being bought. But a Tuesday morning reservation at McDonalds has a 0% chance of being bought so the value of the reservation is essentially worthless. It'd be cool to see more numbers and stats on this. You can use these numbers to calculate expected value of assets of reservations. Anyways, I'll post back here once someone buys either of these. Should find out around January 15th if it sells for $50 to $100.
